CoS Services

After packets are assigned to a specific egress queue, CoS services can be assigned to the queue(s).
Egress queues are configured with a scheduling scheme by one of the following methods:
Strict Priority — Ensures that time-sensitive applications are always forwarded. Strict Priority (SP)
allows the prioritization of mission-critical, time-sensitive traffic over less time-sensitive applications.
For example, under Strict Priority, voice over IP traffic can be prioritized so the IP traffic is forwarded
before FTP or e-mail (SMTP) traffic.
Weighted Round Robin — Ensures that a single application does not dominate the device forwarding
capacity. Weighted Round Robin (WRR) forwards entire queues in a Round Robin order. All queues
can be configured to WRR or SP queues. If WRR is selected, the following weights are assigned to the
queues: 1, 2, 4, 8.
