QoS Overview
Slope Policy Parameters
The elements required to define a slope policy are:
•
•
A slope policy is defined with generic parameters so that it is not inherently an access nor an
access uplink policy. A slope policy defines access egress buffer management properties when it is
associated with an access port buffer pool and access uplink egress buffer management properties
when it is associated with an access uplink port buffer pool.
Each access egress buffer pool and access uplink egress pool can be associated with one only slope
policy ID.
Slope policy ID default is reserved for the default slope policy. The default policy cannot be
deleted or changed. The default slope policy is implicitly applied to all access & access uplink
buffer pools which do not have another slope policy explicitly assigned.
