rate, it is considered to be green-colored or coded. When the transmitted traffic falls below the committed
rate, the bandwidth, which is not used by any traffic that is traversing the network, is aggregated to form the
committed burst size. Traffic is considered to be green-colored up to the point at which the unused
bandwidth does not exceed the committed burst size.
Allocating Bandwidth to Queue
The switch schedules packets for egress based on Deficit Round Robin (DRR). This strategy offers a
guaranteed data rate.
Allocate bandwidth to queues only in terms of percentage in 4-queue and 8-queue systems. The following
table shows the default bandwidth percentage for each queue.

When you assign a percentage to one queue, note that this change also affects the amount of bandwidth that
is allocated to other queues. Therefore, whenever you are allocating bandwidth to one queue, Dell
Networking recommends evaluating your bandwidth requirements for all other queues as well.
• Allocate bandwidth to queues.
bandwidth-percentage
Assign each queue a bandwidth percentage ranging from 1 to 100%, in increments of 1%.
Specifying WRED Drop Precedence
You can configure the WRED drop precedence in an output QoS policy.
• Specify a WRED profile to yellow and/or green traffic.
