Table K-95 QoS Class Dialog Box—Queuing and Congestion Avoidance Tab (Continued)

Bandwidth	The minimum bandwidth to guarantee to this class (a specific class or the
	default class). You can define this amount by:
	• Percentage—Valid values range from 0 to 100% of the total available
	bandwidth.
	• Kbit/sec—Valid values range from 8-2000000 kilobits per second.
Queue Limit	The maximum number of packets that can be queued for the class. Any
	additional packets are dropped using tail drop until the congestion is gone.
	Note This is the default option for limiting queue size unless Weighted
	Random Early Detection (WRED) is configured.
WRED Weight for	The exponential weight factor to use to calculate the average queue size. Use
Mean Queue Depth	this option when defining WRED instead of tail drop for this class. When
	queue size exceeds the value determined by this weight factor, WRED
	randomly discards packets until the transmitting protocol decreases its
	transmission rate to ease congestion. Exponent values range from 1 to 16.
	The default is 9.
	Note This option is best suited for protocols like TCP, which respond to
	dropped packets by decreasing the transmission rate. We recommend
	that you do not change the default unless you determine that your
	applications would benefit from the change.

QoS Class Dialog Box—Policing Tab

Use the Policing tab of the QoS Class dialog box to configure rate limits on the traffic in a selected QoS class. Excess traffic is either dropped or transmitted with a different (typically lower) priority.

Navigation Path

Go to the QoS Class Dialog Box, page K-205, then click the Policing tab.
