Note SRR services the priority queue for its configured share before servicing the other queue.
The switch supports two configurable ingress queues, which are serviced by SRR in shared mode only.
Table36-1 describes the queues.

Table36-1 Ingress Queue Types
Queue Type1
1. The switch uses two nonconfigurable queues for traffic that is essential for proper network and stack operation.
Function
Normal User traffic that is considered to be normal priority. You can configure three different
thresholds to differentiate among the flows. You can use the mls qos srr-queue input
threshold, the mls qos srr-queue input dscp-map, and the mls qos srr-queue input
cos-map global configuration commands.
Expedite High-priority user traffic such as differentiated services (DF) expedited for warding or
voice traffic. You can configure the bandwidth required for this traffic as a percentage
of the total traffic or total stack traffic by using the mls qos srr-queue input
priority-queue global configuration command. The expedite queue has guaranteed
bandwidth.
