Understanding QoS
Queueing and Scheduling on Egress Queues
Figure 36-9 shows the queueing and scheduling flowchart for egress ports.
Note If the expedite queue is enabled, SRR services it until it is empty before servicing the other three queues.
Figure 36-9 Queueing and Scheduling Flowchart for Egress Ports
Each port supports four egress queues, one of which (queue 1) can be the egress expedite queue. These
queues are assigned to a queue-set. All traffic exiting the switch flows through one of these four queues
and is subjected to a threshold based on the QoS label assigned to the packet.
