Guarantee does not necessary call for the use of priority queue. The use of
bandwidth is enough to guarantee your traffic in the event of a congestion.

Also the mention of 'minimum' as stated in the original question, will not
make priority queue look good as an option.

> vlan has a guaranteed minimum bandwidth of 128k

Priority queue have an inbuilt policer and it set a maximum and not a
minimum transmission rate. Once that maximum is reached other traffic will
be queued as best effort ie 'no guarantee' and since there is already a
congestion on the interface to begin with, anything above 128K will not be
transmitted, this will run contrary to the objective of the question which
establish a minimum transmission of 128K but leaves the maximum bound open.

IMHO, Bandwidth with randon detect should be enough to meet the objective of
the question.
