Usage
After you configure a unicast queue as strict-priority, that particular queue, on the entire
Information
chassis, is treated as a strict-priority queue. Traffic for a strict priority is scheduled
before any other queues are serviced. For example, if you send 100% line rate traffic over the
SP queue, it starves all other queues on the ports on which this traffic is flowing.

Policy-Based QoS Commands

Policy-based traffic classification is handled with class maps. These maps classify unicast traffic into one of eight
classes in E-Series and one of four classes in C-Series and S-Series. FTOS allows you to match multiple class maps and
specify multiple match criteria. Policy-based QoS is not supported on logical interfaces, such as port-channels, VLANs,
or loopbacks.
