Hierarchical Queuing Framework Feature

Cisco IOS Release: Release 12.2(31)SB2
Description: The Hierarchical Queuing Framework (HQF) feature was introduced on the PRE3 to define
a QoS architecture for implementing hierarchical packet scheduling and queuing. The HQF enables
service providers to manage their QoS at three layers of hierarchy: physical, logical, and class.

MQC Hierarchical Queuing with 3 Level Scheduler

Cisco IOS Release: Release 12.2(31)SB2
Description: The MQC Hierarchical Queuing with 3 Level Scheduler feature provides a flexible packet
scheduling and queuing system in which you can specify how excess bandwidth is to be allocated among
the subscriber queues and logical interfaces. Rather than allocating an implicit minimum bandwidth
guarantee to each queue, the three-level scheduler uses the bandwidth-remaining ratio parameter to
allocate unused bandwidth to each logical queue.

a minimum bandwidth for the multiple classes and a combined maximum bandwidth for the classes. This
feature supports two-level hierarchical policies.
Cisco IOS Release: Release 12.2(16)BX
Description: This feature was introduced on the PRE2.
Cisco IOS Release: Release 12.2(28)SB
