3.6 Access Egress
This section contains the following topics for traffic flow in the access ingress 
direction:
• Access Egress Queuing and Scheduling
• Access Egress Per-SAP Aggregate Shapers (Access Egress H-QoS)
• Access Egress Shaping for Hybrid Ports
• Access Egress for 4-Priority (Gen-3) Scheduling
• Access Egress Marking/Re-Marking
• Packet Byte Offset (PBO)
3.6.1 Access Egress Queuing and Scheduling
The following sections discuss the queuing and scheduling of access egress traffic, 
which is traffic that egresses the fabric on the access side:
• BMU Traffic Access Egress Queuing and Scheduling 
• ATM Access Egress Queuing and Scheduling 
• Ethernet Access Egress Queuing and Scheduling 
Access egress scheduling takes place at the native traffic layer. As an example, once 
the ATM pseudowire payload is delivered from the network ingress to the access 
egress, the playback of the ATM cells to the appropriate ATM SAP is done according 
to ATM traffic management specifications.
Access egress scheduling is supported on the adapter cards and ports listed in 
Table 13. The supported scheduling modes are 4-priority and 16-priority. Table 13 
shows which scheduling mode each card and port supports at access egress.
Note: For access ingress and egress, the 16-priority schedulers use additional hardware 
resources and capabilities, which results in increased throughput.
