Figure 11.1 Example of a QoS cycle using the default weights
If you change the percentages for the queues, the software changes the weights, which changes the number of
visits a queue receives during a full queue cycle and also the number of packets sent from each queue during
each visit. For example, if you change the percentages so that queue qosp3 receives a weight of 5, then the
system processes five packets in that queue during each visit to the queue.
