I'm not really clear what you want to know. Could you restate this as
a description of the problem you are trying to solve, or the protocol
behavior you want to create, without referring to other queueing
methods or parameters? It's often difficult to explain how one
mechanism works using another as a model, when I have no way of
knowing how deeply the questioner understands the other mechanism.

There is a great deal of theoretical material in QoS implementation,
much of which you really don't need to know in order to configure
systems and pass exams. But the difference between one QoS method and
another often depends on some unstated theoretical observations.
Indeed, CQ is being deemphasized, for reasons both practical and
theoretical, in preference to CBWFQ and variations on that.
