before the switch services queue 5. Queue 5 must be empty before
the switch services queue 4, and so on.

For information on how to set up strict priority queueing, see
“

Setting Up Strict Priority Queueing”

on page 40.

CBQ

With the class-based queuing (CBQ) algorithm, you can specify a
maximum bit rate, or bandwidth, for a queue. When that bit rate is
exceeded, the switch drops all packets that exceed the bit rate.

The bit rate that you set should be the long-term average rate of
transmission. Traffic that does not exceed this rate is guaranteed
transfer.

For information on how to set up CBQ queueing, see “

Setting Up

CBQ”

on page 41.

* Note: Avaya recommends that you do not set a port using

CBQ as the source port or mirror port for a port mirror.
When the switch limits the bandwidth of a port, packets
are subject to random drop. If packets from a source port
or mirror port are dropped, the mirror traffic may not
match the source traffic.

CBWFQ

The class-based weighted fair queueing (CBWFQ) algorithm is a
combination of the CBQ and WFQ algorithms. CBWFQ makes more
complex management of traffic possible. Using CBWFQ, you can set:

■

The maximum bit rate.

The bit rate that you set should be the long-term average rate
of transmission. Traffic that does not exceed this rate is
guaranteed transfer.

■

Burst thresholds

■

The action that you want the switch to take when the bit rate
exceeds the maximum bit rate.

—

Drop the packets

Or

—

Forward the packets according to the weight of the queue
