resume-offset Buffer offset limit for resuming in KB
threshold-value Buffer offset limit at which the port resumes the peer in KB.
Enter a number in the range of 1 to 7787. The default is 10 KB.
shared-threshold-
weight Buffer shared threshold weight
size Weightage of the priorities on the shared buffer size in the
system. Enter a number in the range of 0 to 9. The default
shared threshold weight is 10.
Default The default size of the ingress buffer is 45 KB. The default buffer limit at which the port
sends the pause to peer and recommences the sending of packets to the peer is 10 KB.
The default threshold weight of the shared buffer space is 10.

Usage Information You must apply this buffer policy at the interface level for the attributes to be applicable
in conjunction with the DCB input policy.
For each QoS policy buffer, you can specify the shared buffer threshold limit, the
ingress buffer size, buffer limit for pausing the acceptance of packets, and the buffer
offset limit for resuming the acceptance of received packets. When PFC detects
congestion on a queue for a specified priority, it sends a pause frame for the 802.1p
priority traffic to the transmitting device.
You can use set up both the administrative and peer-related PFC priorities. For
example, you can configure the intended buffer configuration for all 8 priorities. If you
configure the number of lossless queues as 4 and if the administrator-configured
priorities configured within the DCB input policy is applied, then the configuration for
those priorities are pre-designed. However, if the peer-provided priorities are applied,
although a DCB input policy is present, the peer-provided priorities become effective
for buffer configuration. This method of configuration provides an easy and flexible
technique to accommodate both administratively-configured and peer-configured
priorities.
