QoS Policies

Slope Policy Parameters

The elements required to define a slope policy are:
Unlike access QoS policies where there are distinct policies for ingress and egress, slope
policy is defined with generic parameters so that it is not inherently an ingress or an egress
policy. A slope policy defines ingress properties when it is associated with an access port
buffer pool on ingress and egress properties when it is associated with an access buffer pool
on egress.
Each access port buffer pool can be associated with one slope policy ID on ingress and one
slope policy ID on egress. The slope policy IDs on ingress and egress can be set
independently.
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 buffer pools
which do not have another slope policy explicitly assigned.

• The TAF weighting factor to use for the SBAU calculation for determining RED
slope drop probability.
