ANAGEMENT

Use the Congestion Management page to forward traffic only if the

destination port is not congested. This is the most aggressive mode of

traffic management. However, note that it is only be applied to queues 0-5.

Queues 6-7 are reserved for real-time applications (such as voice) and

network control, and are therefore not suited for aggressive traffic

management policies.
