PQ 4
Absolute bandwidth and delay
guarantees for real-time and
mission-critical applications,
such as VoIP.
•
Need to configure, low
processing speed.
•
If no restriction is imposed on
bandwidth assigned to
high-priority packets,
low-priority packets might fail to
get bandwidth.
CQ 16
•
Bandwidth
assignment
in
percentages for different
applications.
•
Bandwidth
reassignment
to increase bandwidth for
each class when packets
of certain classes are not
present.
Need to configure, low processing
speed.
WFQ Configurable
•
Easy to configure.
•
Bandwidth
guarantee
for
packets from cooperative
(interactive) sources
(such as TCP packets).
•
Reduced
jitter.
•
Reduced
delay
for
interactive applications
with a small amount of
data.
•
Bandwidth
assignment
based on traffic priority.
•
Automatic
bandwidth
reassignment to increase
bandwidth for each class
when the number of traffic
classes decreases.
The processing speed is faster than
PQ and CQ but slower than FIFO.
