In this example illustration:
•
Ingress packets destined for port 1/1 and port 2/1 are queued into CoS/VOQs allocated by the ingress
TM. These are the physical VOQs (pVOQs), that reside on each NI for every port in the switch.
•
The centralized scheduler within the switch fabric maintains a QSI for port 1/1 and port 2/1.
•
The QSP assigned to the QSI for port 1/1 and port 2/1 s applied by the scheduler to all pVOQ flows
destined for port 1/1 or port 2/1.
•
There are four pre-defined QSPs supported. In this example, the default QSP 1 is associated with the
QSI for port 1/1. However, QSP 4 was assigned to the QSI for port 2/1.
•
QSP 1 applies the default WRED profile 1 (WRP 1) to the QSI for port 1/1. QSP 4 applies the user-
defined WRP 4 to the QSI for port 2/1.
•
The QSet framework shown in this example applies to unicast traffic. Selecting QSPs and configuring
WRPs only applies to unicast VOQ queue management.
Note that the VOQs that reside in the switch fabric, as represented by QSet instances, is just a state space
where configured and dynamic parameters for each VOQ is specified. There is no physical buffer memory
associated with these VOQs in the fabric. Packets are not buffered in fabric
