Selecting the Queue Mode
You can set the switch to service the queues based on a strict rule that
requires all traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed before lower
priority queues are serviced, or use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR)
queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a
predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the percentage
of service time the switch services each queue before moving on to the
next queue. This prevents the head-of-line blocking that can occur with
strict priority queuing.
Command Attributes
•
WRR
- Weighted Round-Robin shares bandwidth at the egress ports
by using scheduling weights 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 for queues 0 through
7 respectively. (This is the default selection.)
•
Strict
- Services the egress queues in sequential order, transmitting all
traffic in the higher priority queues before servicing lower priority
queues.
Web
– Click Priority, Queue Mode. Select Strict or WRR, then click Apply.
CLI
– The following sets the queue mode to strict priority service mode.
Setting the Service Weight for Traffic Classes
This switch uses the Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm to
determine the frequency at which it services each priority queue. As
