rate. The port will not become congested, and the latency caused by the round-robin
behavior of both the HRR and cell schedulers is nominal. In these undersubscribed
conditions, the latency of a strict-priority queue within each VC is calculated as if the
VC were draining onto a wire with bandwidth equal to the shaped rate.
Relative strict priority is carried out in the HRR scheduler on E Series ASIC line
modules.

This section explains how the HRR and SAR schedulers handle true strict-priority
and relative strict-priority configurations.
Schedulers and True Strict Priority
In the strict-priority configuration in Figure 12 on page 62, the queues stacked above
the single strict priority scheduler node make up a round-robin separate from the
nonstrict queues. All strict queues are drained to completion first, and any residual
bandwidth is allocated to the nonstrict round-robin.
