Context show
Description This command displays megapool information.  A megapool is a mechanism the IOM-3 flexpath 
traffic manager uses to allow oversubscription of buffer pools. Every buffer pool is created in the 
context of a megapool. 
By default, all buffer pools are associated with a single megapool and the pools are not 
oversubscribed. When WRED queue support is enabled on the IOM, three megapools are used. 
• The original megapool services the default and named pools. 
• The second megapool services the system internal use pools. 
• The third megapool is used by the buffer pools used by the WRED queues. 
The traffic manager buffers are allocated to the three megapools without oversubscription. The 
WRED queue pools are allowed to oversubscribe their megapool, but the megapool protects the pools 
associated with the other megapools from buffer starvation that could be caused by that 
oversubscription.
