PART II: Findings: Behaviour of Default Class with Class Based

Petr,

I have repeated the testing with WFQ in the class-default.

Class1---- > ping precedence 5 ---> 50% of bandwidth
Class2---> ping precedence 3 ----> 20% of bandwidth
Class default ---> WFQ ---> ping of other precedence

The results are the following:

If packets have a precedence of zero, they get no bandwidth.

However I increased the precedence to 4, the packets get about 1 K of
bandwidth.

I would have expected the default class to get at least 5% of bandwidth
remaining: that is 6.4 K

But this is not the case !!!!

  Pierre, you asked an interesting question.

  Actually, I still wonder how exactly class-default is assigned it's
  weight...

  It's been told in docs, that if you don't put a "banwidth" of "fair-queue"
in
  class-default, it is treated as "best-effort".

  That sounds to me "class-default" served after every other "weighted"
  queue in that case. And it looks like it works that way, in your examples.

  Well, if you do put "bandwidth" or "fair-queue", class-default
  is being integrated into WFQ algorithm, and is served accordingly.

  I would try to investigate that matter further :)

  Petr
