To the best of my knowledge, 2960 isn't actually shipping yet,
so any real-world experience with that particular platform will
be scarce.

However, the 2960 is basically the same hardware as 2970/3560/
3750 (without routing and stacking), so in terms of QoS, the
features should be more or less the same. (Some stuff *could*
potentially be 'turned off' in software (like said L3), to do
market differentiation).

Yes.
