RE: Class-Based Weighted Fair Queueing

Hi,

No argument on the Default Class. The Default Class by its nature can
support FWQ, and as you have pointed out a number of dynamic queues can be
assigned.

You assumption on non-default classes is incorrect. These classes/queues do
not use FWQ, you will find that you are unable to issue the command
fair-queue under any non-default class.

Therefore each class is a queue in itself. All flows within the non-default
queue will be treated as FIFO and Tail Drop (unless WRED invoked). This
should not present a problem, as you should group like for like traffic
within each non-default class.

The depth of the queue for Non Default Class is 64 packets. The number of
queues is one.
The queue depth can be modified with the queue-limit command (note the
default is different if you are using a VIP based platform).

The number of queues for the default-class with fair queue is a function of
the interface bandwidth. You should refer to the Doc Cd for this, however
as an example bandwidth of less than 128k will equate to 16 dynamic queues.

_r/qrfcmd1.htm#wp1097851

The depth of each queue is by default 64 packets. This, as before, can be
modified with queue-limit

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your reply.

What I think is there are multiple queues assocaited with the default class.
See the following:

Router(config-pmap-c)# fair-queue [number-of-dynamic-queues]

Therefore I further assume there should be multiple queues associated with
non default class.

I think the key factors here are for each class are: number of queues and
the size of the queue.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,

Yuhui
