Command Usage

• Strict priority requires all traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed

before lower priority queues are serviced.

• WRR uses a relative weight for each queue which determines the number of

packets the switch transmits every time it services a queue before moving on
to the next queue. Thus, a queue weighted 8 will be allowed to transmit up to
8 packets, after which the next lower priority queue will be serviced according
to it’s weighting. This prevents the head-of-line blocking that can occur with
strict priority queuing.

Example

The following example sets the queue mode to strict priority service mode:
