Aggregation of different forwarding classes under queues takes place for each 
bundle or port. If a port is a member of a bundle, such as a Multilink Point-to-Point 
Protocol (MLPPP) bundle, then the aggregation and queuing is implemented for the 
entire bundle. If a port is a standalone port, that is, not a member of bundle, then the 
queuing takes place for the port.
3.4.2.1 Network Egress Per-VLAN Queuing
Network Ethernet ports support network egress per-VLAN (per-interface) shapers 
with eight CoS queues per VLAN, which is an extension to the eight CoS queues per 
port shared by all unshaped VLANs. Eight unique per-VLAN CoS queues are created 
for each VLAN when the VLAN shaper is enabled. These per-VLAN CoS queues are 
separate from the eight unshaped VLAN queues. The eight CoS queues that are 
shared by all the remaining unshaped VLANs are referred to as unshaped VLAN 
CoS queues. VLAN shapers are enabled when the queue-policy command is used 
to assign a network queue policy to the interface.
For details on per-VLAN network egress queuing and scheduling, see Per-VLAN 
Network Egress Shapers.
3.4.3 Network Egress Scheduling
Network egress scheduling is supported on the adapter cards and ports listed in 
Table 10. The supported scheduling modes are profiled, 4-priority, and 16-priority. 
Table 10 shows which scheduling mode each card and port supports at network 
egress.
This section also contains information on the following topics:
• Network Egress 4-Priority Scheduling
• Network Egress 4-Priority (Gen-3) Scheduling
• Network Egress Scheduling on 8-port Ethernet Adapter Cards
• Network Egress 16-Priority Scheduling
