queue. On a 100 Mbps port, you can set the weight values of WRR queuing to 50, 30, 10, 10, 50, 30, 10,
and 10 (corresponding to w7, w6, w5, w4, w3, w2, w1, and w0 respectively). In this way, the queue with
the lowest priority is assured of at least 5 Mbps of bandwidth, avoiding the disadvantage of SP queuing that
packets in low-priority queues may fail to be served for a long time.
Another advantage of WRR queuing is that while the queues are scheduled in turn, the service time for each
queue is not fixed, that is, if a queue is empty, the next queue will be scheduled immediately. This improves
bandwidth resource use efficiency.
You can assign the output queues to WRR priority queue group 1 and WRR priority queue group 2. Round
robin queue scheduling is performed for group 1 first. If group 1 is empty, round robin queue scheduling is
performed for group 2.
NOTE:
You can implement SP+WRR queue scheduling on a port by assigning some queues on the port to the SP
scheduling group when configuring WRR. Packets in the SP scheduling group are scheduled preferentiall
by SP. When the SP scheduling group is empty, the other queues are scheduled by WRR.
Line rate
Line rate is a traffic control method using token buckets. The line rate of a physical interface specifies the
maximum rate for forwarding packets (including critical packets). Line rate can limit all the packets passing
a physical interface.
Traffic evaluation and token bucket
A token bucket can be considered as a container holding a certain number of tokens. The system puts tokens
into the bucket at a set rate. When the token bucket is full, the extra tokens will cause the token bucket to
overflow.

The evaluation for the traffic specification is based on whether the number of tokens in the bucket can meet
the need of packet forwarding. If the number of tokens in the bucket is enough to forward the packets
(generally, one token is associated with a 1-bit forwarding authority), the traffic conforms to the
specification, and the traffic is called conforming traffic; otherwise, the traffic does not conform to the
specification, and the traffic is called excess traffic.
A token bucket has the following configurable parameters:
