config scheduling
Description The max_packets parameter allows you to
specify the maximum number of packets a
given hardware priority queue can transmit
before allowing the next lowest hardware
priority queue to begin transmitting its
packets. A value between 0 and 255 can be
specified. For example, if a value of 3 is
specified, then the highest hardware
priority queue (number 0) will be allowed to
transmit 3 packets − then the next lowest
hardware priority queue (number 1) will be
allowed to transmit 3 packets, and so on,
until all of the queues have transmitted 3
packets. The process will then repeat.
When the specified hardware priority queue
has been waiting to transmit packets for
this amount of time, the current queue will
finish transmitting its current packet, and
then allow the hardware priority queue
whose max_latency timer has expired to
begin transmitting packets.
Parameters
<class_id> − This specifies which of the four
hardware priority queues the config
scheduling command will apply to. The
four hardware priority queues are identified
by number − from 0 to 3 − with the 0 queue
being the lowest priority.
max_packet <value> − Specifies the
maximium number of packets the above
specified hardware priority queue will be
allowed to transmit before allowing the next
lowest priority queue to transmit its
packets. A value between 0 and 255 can be
specified.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue
this command.
