The Queue Page contains the following fields:
•Queue — Displays the number of queues for which the scheduling type and WRR weights are defined.
•Scheduling — Indicates the scheduling type by which the bandwidth is allocated to queues. The system supports selecting up to two group entries. Group entries must be selected in consecutive order. The possible field values are:
—Strict Priority — Specifies whether traffic scheduling is based strictly on the queue priority.
—WRR — Assigns the WRR scheduling type to the queue.
•WRR Weight — Assigns WRR weights to queues. This field is enabled only for queues in WRR queue mode. If a queue is set to 0 weight, the queue is not operational. Each queue has a weight range, queues
•% of WRR Bandwidth — Indicates the amount of bandwidth assigned to the QoS queue.
