If there are a large number of connections on a particular port, and these connections begin to slow down and show signs of congestion, use the set cacparams command to change the CAC policy to moderate or conservative.

4.6.3Class of Service Queues

The SmartCell 6A000 performs buffering using a shared-memory architecture. Buffer space is divided into queues for each class of service (QoS). In turn, ports are allocated some portion of each of the QoS queues. This allocation is controlled on a per-port basis by the porttrafficcongestion commands.
