Guiherme,
According to Wendell Odom in his book Cisco DQOS, the CBWFG algorithm is not
published. I have a hard time seeing how it could be precedence-based, like
WFQ. Do you have a reference you can share?
Thanks!

remaining bandwidth. They will use at least the bw that is on the command
plus whatever they can get.

or interactive video. Instead of putting the packets in the queue, it sends
directly to the interface (except for the overflow) In our example, you
could it on class c.

class can use either for inbound or outbound. I personally don't like it
because the way it works (basically drops the excess) causes too many
retransmissions.

that the class can use for outbound only. I use extensive here and it works
very well.
