Service Egress and Ingress QoS Policies
Quality of Service Guide 281
auto-expedite — This keyword allows the system to auto-define the way the queue is serviced by
the hardware. When auto-expedite is defined on the queue, the queue is treated in an
expedited manner when all forwarding classes mapped to the queue are configured as
expedited types nc, ef, h1 or h2. When a single non-expedited forwarding class is mapped to
the queue (be, af, l1 and l2) the queue automatically falls back to non-expedited status.
Values expedite, best-effort, auto-expedite
Default auto-expedite
multipoint — This keyword specifies that this queue-id is for multipoint forwarded traffic only.
This queue-id can only be explicitly mapped to the forwarding class multicast, broadcast, or
unknown unicast ingress traffic. If you attempt to map forwarding class unicast traffic to a
multipoint queue, an error is generated and no changes are made to the current unicast traffic
queue mapping.
A queue must be created as multipoint. The multipoint designator cannot be defined after the
queue is created. If an attempt is made to modify the command to include the multipoint
keyword, an error is generated and the command will not execute.
The multipoint keyword can be entered in the command line on a preexisting multipoint
queue to edit queue-id parameters.
Values multipoint or not present
Default Present (the queue is created as non-multipoint)
queue-mode — Specifies the mode in which the queue is operating. This attribute is associated
with the queue at the time of creation and cannot be modified thereafter.
Values profile-mode: When the queue is operating in the profile mode
(or, the color aware mode), the queue tries to provide the
appropriate bandwidth to the packets with different profiles. The
profiles are assigned according to the configuration of the
forwarding class or the sub-forwarding class.
priority-mode: The queue is capable of handling traffic
differently with two distinct priorities. These priorities are
assigned by the stages preceding the queueing framework in the
system. In priority mode, the queue does not have the
functionality to support the profiled traffic and in such cases the
queue will have a degraded performance. However, the converse
is not valid and a queue in profile mode should be capable of
supporting the different priorities of traffic.
