Chapter 16 – Configuring Traffic Prioritization

Prioritization works by establishing queues at the required priority levels filling the transmit queue with them in priority order. The aim of establishing low latency for certain traffic is foiled when transmit queue lengths are large because multiple low priority packets may have queued before a high priority packet arrives at the router.

RuggedCom recommends that the transmit queue length be left at its minimum default value of 1. Higher values, however, may strike a balance between latency an performance.

This menu displays the percentage of interface traffic that has been transmitted from each priority queue. The Refresh button causes the statistics to be updated. The Clear Statistics And Refresh button causes the statistics to be cleared and then captured after a one second interval.
