Mapping CoS Values
to Egress Queues
Figure 131: Setting the Queue Mode (Strict and WRR)
Use the Traffic > Priority > PHB to Queue page to specify the hardware output
queues to use based on the internal per-hop behavior value. (For more information
on exact manner in which the ingress priority tags are mapped to egress queues for
internal processing, see
page
224).
The switch processes Class of Service (CoS) priority tagged traffic by using eight
priority queues for each port, with service schedules based on strict priority,
Weighted Round-Robin (WRR), or a combination of strict and weighted queuing.
Up to eight separate traffic priorities are defined in IEEE 802.1p. Default priority
levels are assigned according to recommendations in the IEEE 802.1p standard as
shown in
Table
13. The following table indicates the default mapping of internal
per-hop behavior to the hardware queues. The actual mapping may differ if the
CoS priorities to internal DSCP values have been modified
