DESCRIPTION
Port
This label shows the port you are configuring.
*
Settings in this row apply to all ports.
Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row first to
set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.
Method Select
SPQ
(Strictly Priority Queuing),
WFQ
(Weighted Fair Queuing) or
WRR
(Weighted Round
Robin).
Strictly Priority services queues based on priority only. When the highest priority queue empties,
traffic on the next highest-priority queue begins. Q7 has the highest priority and Q0 the lowest.
Weighted Fair Queuing is used to guarantee each queue's minimum bandwidth based on their
bandwidth weight (the number you configure in the
Weight
field). Queues with larger weights
get more guaranteed bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.
Weighted Round Robin Scheduling services queues on a rotating basis based on their queue
weight (the number you configure in the queue
Weight
field). Queues with larger weights get
more service than queues with smaller weights.
Weight

different traffic queues according to their weights.
