User traffic that is considered to be normal priority. You can configure three different
thresholds to differentiate among the flows. You can use the mls qos srr-queue input
threshold, the mls qos srr-queue input dscp-map, and the mls qos srr-queue input
cos-map global configuration commands.
High-priority user traffic such as differentiated services (DF) expedited forwarding or
voice traffic. You can configure the bandwidth required for this traffic as a percentage
of the total traffic by using the mls qos srr-queue input priority-queue global
configuration command. The expedite queue has guaranteed bandwidth.
