Quality of Service ensures the priority of time-sensitive packets (like VoIP and video) over other traffic based on DSCP or IEEE 802.1p classification. Jumbo frame support provides up to 9216 bytes frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers. Flow control provides a flow-throttling mechanism propagated through the network to prevent packet loss at a congested node.

Two dedicated Gigabit SFP fiber ports can be used for uplinks and to support long distance connectivity using fiber transceivers, for a total of 28 Ethernet ports. No configuration is required beyond installation.

Q: 5. Does setting up LAG reduce throughput? Some of the other SFP+ switches in this category use software and CPU to bond the ports.

A: LAG, including static link aggregation and LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), is a technology that can aggregate multiple physical ports into a logical interface, increasing link bandwidth and providing backup ports to enhance connection reliability. So, the LAG will not reduce the TP-Link TL-SX3016F JetStream 16-Port SFP+ 10GE Managed Switch's through put. As for the ports, if you need to configure the advanced features such as LAG and VLAN, this switch has a web interface (standalone mode) to log in. And you can also download TP-Link's Omada Software Controller to manage the switch.
