Just check this out for More details . Quoting this for your info ...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk364/technologies_tech_note09186a0080093fdc
shtml
1.. If traffic shaping is active, it compares the message arrival rate to
the message transmission rate for the indicated class of messages. If either
a shaping queue is forming on the subinterface or the queue is not present
but the rate has now been exceeded, it places the message into a queue on
the software interface.
2.. If traffic shaping is not active, does not apply to this message, or
the rate has not been exceeded, the driver now asks whether the depth of the
output controller's transmit queue is below the tx-queue-limit. If it is
below the limit, the driver simply queues the message for transmission. A
message that followed this path is accounted as having been fast-switched on
input and fast-switched on output.
3.. If it cannot be fast-switched, however, the driver diverts the message
into a software queue, which is generically referred to as the "output hold
queue". Examples of such hold queues include First In, First Out (FIFO)
queuing, Priority Queuing, Custom Queuing, and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ).
Thanks and Regards
Arun
