QoS Overview
Slope Policies
The available buffer space is partitioned into buffer pools. The buffers for a queue are allocated
from a single buffer pool. Buffer pools are created for access port egress and access uplink port
egress.
Slope policies define the RED slope characteristics as a percentage of pool size for the pool on
which the policy is applied.
Default buffer pools exist (logically) at the port levels. Each physical port has two pools objects
associated:
•
•
By default, each pool is associated with slope-policy default which disables the high-slope and
low-slope within the pool.
Access and access uplink pools are created at the port level; creation is dependent on the physical
port mode (access uplink or access).
