Zusammenfassung:	A router is configured for sending and receiving data packets on an InfiniBand(TM) network. When placed between an Ethernet network and an InfiniBand(TM) network, the router is configured to receive an Ethernet data packet having a VLAN tag indicative of layer 2 priority data of the Ethernet packet. The router includes a mapping table having multiple entries, each entry specifying a VLAN tag and a corresponding service level. A controller is configured for parsing the VLAN tag and determining the service level for the VLAN tag. The controller outputs the Ethernet packet on the InfiniBand(TM) network within an InfiniBand(TM) packet according to the determined service level.
