The wrr-queue bandwidth weighs are relative values, not raw percentages.
The weights 1 2 2 10 lead to the following percentages:

1/15, 2/15, 2/15, 10/15

A further complication, the 3550 algorithm is based on packets, not bytes.
So the actual bandwidth percent values only work if the packet sizes are
equal. For more info check this link:

Subject: WRR-QUEUE Bandwidth

> Suppose we should reserve 35% of the bandwidth for queue 3 on 3550. The
system acepts the command wrr-queue bandwidth 22 22 35 22. The sum of these
numbers give us 106. Even though the system acept the command, it seems it
has a decision to make: which queue will receive less bandwidth, because I
can not give 22% for queue 1, 22% for queue2, 35% for queue 3 and 22% for
queue 4. Is that correct? or it just represent a time and is not limited to
100%?
