W310 WLAN Gateway Layer 2 Features
Weighted Queuing
The Weighted Queuing feature allows the user to configure the priority scheme between the
internal priority queues as "Strict Priority" or to configure it as a Weighted Round Robin
(WRR) scheme, with user-configurable weights.
Implementation of Weighted Queuing in the W310
The user is able to set the Priority scheme to either "Strict" or "WWR."
•
When the Priority scheme is set to "Strict":
— Giga ports — the Low priority queue will transmit only if the High priority queue
has nothing to transmit.
— W310 10/100 ports — the Lower priority queue will transmit only if none of the
Higher priority queue has nothing to transmit.
•
When the Priority scheme is set to "WWR" with a weight factor 'n':
— Giga ports — the High priority queue will transmit 'n' packets for each packet that
will be transmitted from the Low priority queue.
— 10/100 ports — The 4 queues will convert into 2 queues (High and Low); the High
priority queue will transmit 'n' packets for each packet that will be transmitted from
the Low priority queue.
By default, the WWR weights between the four W310 priority queues are
1:4:16:64between the high and low priority queues are 1:64.
