Page 88 300WR User Manual Queue the example above CoS1 data is not rate limited to 100Kbps but instead all Discipline 300Kbps is transmitted. The side effect is that a misconfigured stream can potentially take all bandwidth. PRIOWRR This is a priority based weighted round robin algorithm operating on CoS2-CoS6.
Page 89 300WR User Manual Example 2: Low Latency Queue Discipline Enabled In this second example, Low Latency Queue Discipline is enabled. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is disabled). CoS2 takes 100 Kbps when there is no CoS1 packets.
Page 90 300WR User Manual Example 3: PRIOWRR Enabled In this third example, PRIOWRR is enabled. Since PRIOWRR operates only on the number of packets being transmitted, the max rate field has been disabled. Only percentage can be assigned to the CoS2 - CoS6. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is not displayed).
