Configuring Modular QoS Congestion
Management
Congestion management controls congestion after it has occurred on a network. Congestion is managed on
Cisco IOS XR software by using packet queuing methods and by shaping the packet flow through use of
traffic regulation mechanisms.
The types of traffic regulation mechanisms supported are:
• Traffic shaping:
◦ Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR)
◦ Low-latency queuing (LLQ) with strict priority queuing (PQ)
• Traffic policing:
◦ Color blind
◦ Color-aware (ingress direction)
