Estimate the ratio of normal (low and high priority) and strict-priority traffic to
the total amount of traffic going out of a switch port. Use the queue1, queue2,
and optionally queue3 values to set the percentages (1 to 100) for the standard
transmit queues. Use the queue-priority value to set the percentage (1 to 100) of
the strict-priority queue. These values must total 100 percent.
Table 13-6 lists how the switch port buffers are divided by default.
b. (Optional) Adjust the weighting of transmit queue servicing:
(interface) wrr-queue bandwidth weight1 weight2 [weight3]
For port-type 2q2t, 1p2q2t, 1p3q1t, and 1p2q1t, the standard queues are serv-
iced in a WRR fashion. The strict-priority queue is always serviced, regardless of
any other queue. Then each standard queue is serviced in turn, according to its
weight value; each queue’s weight is relative to the others.
By default, ports with two queues have a ratio of 4:255, and ports with three
queues have a ratio of 100:150:200. (When QoS is disabled, all queues are equal-
ly weighted at 255.)
