Overview 

Scheduler Policies

Virtual schedulers are created within the context of a scheduler policy that is used to define the 
hierarchy and parameters for each scheduler. A scheduler is defined in the context of a tier which 
is used to place the scheduler within the hierarchy. Three tiers of virtual schedulers are supported. 
Root schedulers are defined without a parent scheduler meaning it is not subject to obtaining 
bandwidth from a higher tier scheduler. A scheduler has the option of enforcing a maximum rate of 
operation for all child queues and schedulers associated with it.

Because a scheduler is designed to arbitrate bandwidth between many inputs, a metric must be 
assigned to each child queue or scheduler vying for transmit bandwidth. This metric indicates 
whether the child is to be scheduled in a strict or weighted fashion and the level or weight the child 
has to other children.

Egress Port-Based Schedulers

In previous releases, HQoS root (top tier) schedulers always assumed that the configured rate was 
available, regardless of egress port level oversubscription and congestion. This resulted in the 
possibility that the aggregate bandwidth assigned to queues was not actually available at the port 
level. When the HQoS algorithm configures queues with more bandwidth than available on an 
egress port, actual bandwidth distribution to queues on the port will be solely based on the action 
of the hardware scheduler. This can result in a forwarding rate at each queue that is very different 
than the desired rate.

The port-based scheduler feature was introduced to allow HQoS bandwidth allocation based on 
available bandwidth at the egress port level. The port-based scheduler works at the egress line rate 
of the port to which it is attached. Port-based scheduling bandwidth allocation automatically 
includes the Inter-Frame Gap (IFG) and preamble for packets forwarded on queues servicing 
egress Ethernet ports. 

A special port scheduler policy can be configured to define the virtual scheduling behavior for an 
egress port. The port scheduler is a software-based state machine managing a bandwidth allocation 
algorithm that represents the scheduling hierarchy shown in 

Figure 15 on page 445

. 

The first tier of the scheduling hierarchy manages the total frame based bandwidth that the port 
scheduler will allocate to the eight priority levels. 

The second tier receives bandwidth from the first tier in two priorities, a “within-cir” loop and an 
“above-cir” loop. The second tier “within-cir” loop provides bandwidth to the third tier “within-
