Hi Mohamed

With your example there are 2 software based Priority Queue's
The CLASS1 priority Queue will be serviced first and then CLASS2

Hi GL,

Let me state an example to clarify my point:

policy-map TEST
  class CLASS1
    priority 100
  class CLASS2
    priority 200

With this setup, traffic of both CLASS1 and CLASS2 will be assigned to
the priority queue. So, how will the router assign max BW of 100 to
traffic of CLASS1 and assign max BW of 200 to traffic of CLASS2 although
they are both in the same single queue and should be treated as FIFO.

HI Mohamed

The priority queue will be serviced in a FIFO manner, no matter what the
markings are of the packets in the queue.

Hi All,

It is a fact that you can assign multiple traffic classes to the
priority queue in the same policy map. All traffic from these classes is
queued to the same, single, priority queue.

I am a little bit confused, how will the system police different traffic
classes to different rates although they are in the same priority queue.

Does anyone has an idea?
