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.
Tabl e 34-1 describes the queues.

Queue Type1
1. The switch uses two nonconfigurable queues for traffic that is essential for proper network 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 forwarding or voice traffic. You can
configure the bandwidth required for this traffic as a percentage of the total traffic by using the mls qos
srr-queue input priority-queue global configuration command. The expedite queue has guaranteed bandwidth.
