 this mode, the switch ports beneath br0 are not capable of regular traffic, and
 are only used as a conduit for switchdev operations.

+
+Time-aware scheduling
+---------------------
+
+The switch supports a variation of the enhancements for scheduled traffic
+specified in IEEE 802.1Q-2018 (formerly 802.1Qbv). This means it can be used to
+ensure deterministic latency for priority traffic that is sent in-band with its
+gate-open event in the network schedule.
+
+This capability can be managed through the tc-taprio offload ('flags 2'). The
+difference compared to the software implementation of taprio is that the latter
+would only be able to shape traffic originated from the CPU, but not
+autonomously forwarded flows.
+
+The device has 8 traffic classes, and maps incoming frames to one of them based
+on the VLAN PCP bits (if no VLAN is present, the port-based default is used).
+As described in the previous sections, depending on the value of
+``vlan_filtering``, the EtherType recognized by the switch as being VLAN can
+either be the typical 0x8100 or a custom value used internally by the driver
+for tagging. Therefore, the switch ignores the VLAN PCP if used in standalone
+or bridge mode with ``vlan_filtering=0``, as it will not recognize the 0x8100
+EtherType. In these modes, injecting into a particular TX queue can only be
+done by the DSA net devices, which populate the PCP field of the tagging header
+on egress. Using ``vlan_filtering=1``, the behavior is the other way around:
+offloaded flows can be steered to TX queues based on the VLAN PCP, but the DSA
+net devices are no longer able to do that. To inject frames into a hardware TX
+queue with VLAN awareness active, it is necessary to create a VLAN
+sub-interface on the DSA master port, and send normal (0x8100) VLAN-tagged
+towards the switch, with the VLAN PCP bits set appropriately.
+
+Management traffic (having DMAC 01-80-C2-xx-xx-xx or 01-19-1B-xx-xx-xx) is the
+notable exception: the switch always treats it with a fixed priority and
+disregards any VLAN PCP bits even if present. The traffic class for management
+traffic has a value of 7 (highest priority) at the moment, which is not
+configurable in the driver.
+
+Below is an example of configuring a 500 us cyclic schedule on egress port
+``swp5``. The traffic class gate for management traffic (7) is open for 100 us,
+and the gates for all other traffic classes are open for 400 us::
+
+  #!/bin/bash
+
+  set -e -u -o pipefail
+
+  NSEC_PER_SEC="1000000000"
+
+  gatemask() {
+          local tc_list="$1"
+          local mask=0
+
+          for tc in ${tc_list}; do
+                  mask=$((${mask} | (1 << ${tc})))
+          done
+
+          printf "%02x" ${mask}
+  }
+
+  if ! systemctl is-active --quiet ptp4l; then
+          echo "Please start the ptp4l service"
+          exit
+  fi
+
+  now=$(phc_ctl /dev/ptp1 get | gawk '/clock time is/ { print $5; }')
+  # Phase-align the base time to the start of the next second.
+  sec=$(echo "${now}" | gawk -F. '{ print $1; }')
+  base_time="$(((${sec} + 1) * ${NSEC_PER_SEC}))"
+
+  tc qdisc add dev swp5 parent root handle 100 taprio \
+          num_tc 8 \
+          map 0 1 2 3 5 6 7 \
+          queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 1@4 1@5 1@6 1@7 \
+          base-time ${base_time} \
+          sched-entry S $(gatemask 7) 100000 \
+          sched-entry S $(gatemask "0 1 2 3 4 5 6") 400000 \
+          flags 2
+
+It is possible to apply the tc-taprio offload on multiple egress ports. There
+are hardware restrictions related to the fact that no gate event may trigger
+simultaneously on two ports. The driver checks the consistency of the schedules
+against this restriction and errors out when appropriate. Schedule analysis is
+needed to avoid this, which is outside the scope of the document.
+
+At the moment, the time-aware scheduler can only be triggered based on a
+standalone clock and not based on PTP time. This means the base-time argument
+from tc-taprio is ignored and the schedule starts right away. It also means it
+is more difficult to phase-align the scheduler with the other devices in the
+network.
