I believe George's explanation is correct. To answer your question about
how you convert from priority queueing to MQC, I don't think you do. One
can convert custom queueing to MQC, but not priority queueing.

Priority queueing got a bad rap as it lead to queue starvation, meaning
that in some cases the lower priority queues never got serviced, as if
there was any traffic in the higher priority queues, those were the ones
sent. To have MQC replicate priority queuing, you would have to somehow
create 4 classes, tell the router to always service class one first if
there were any packets in it, only if empty, go to queue 2, only if
queue one and two are empty, go to queue 3 etc. I don't think there is a
way to do this.

Thanks George. How would one convert legacy priority queuing to MQC
then? Thanks.
