USING CONGESTION
MANAGEMENT
Use the Congestion Management page to forward traffic only if the
destination port is not congested. This is the most aggressive mode of
traffic management. However, note that it is only be applied to queues 0-5.
Queues 6-7 are reserved for real-time applications (such as voice) and
network control, and are therefore not suited for aggressive traffic
management policies.
