+Enabling 802.1Qav
+*****************
+
+To enable 802.1Qav shaper, the Ethernet device driver must declare
+that it supports credit-based shaping. The Ethernet driver's capability
+function must return ``ETHERNET_QAV`` value for this purpose. Typically
+also priority queues ``ETHERNET_PRIORITY_QUEUES`` need to be supported.

+Configuring 802.1Qav
+********************
+
+The application can configure the credit-based shaper like this:

+
+	#include <net/net_if.h>
+	#include <net/ethernet.h>

+		struct ethernet_req_params params;
+		int ret;
+
+		memset(&params, 0, sizeof(params));
+
+		params.qav_param.queue_id = queue_id;
+		params.qav_param.enabled = enable;
+		params.qav_param.type = ETHERNET_QAV_PARAM_TYPE_STATUS;
+
+		/* Disable or enable Qav for a queue */
+		ret = net_mgmt(NET_REQUEST_ETHERNET_SET_QAV_PARAM,
+			       iface, &params,
+			       sizeof(struct ethernet_req_params));
+		if (ret) {
+			LOG_ERR("Cannot %s Qav for queue %d for interface %p",
+			        enable ? "enable" : "disable",
