Control Description
Scheduling Method
This specifies one of the two scheduling methods (Strict and Weighted
Round-Robin) for the queues.
Queue [0:3]
Queue [0:3] prioritizes the four queues. Queue 0 is the lowest priority queue and
queue 3 is the highest priority queue. Packets in queue 3 are served more often
than packets in queue 0.
Priority
This indicates packet priority. This value is retrieved from the priority tag field,
with values from 0 to 7. 0 indicates the lowest priority and 7 indicates the highest
priority. Click on the radio button to send packets of a specific priority to a
particular queue.
Weight
This indicates the weight (number of packets) to be served in the queue before
moving to serve the next queue. A high priority queue should have a higher
weight than a low-priority queue.
