3560 switch egress queue set configuration

Dear ALl,
I cant understand exactly the wtd thresholds configured in egress queue set
command

the following is an example from the documentation CD:

Switch(config)# mls qos queue-set output 2 buffers 40 20 20 20

Switch(config)# mls qos queue-set output 2 threshold 2 40 60 100 200

let's take an example is we have 400 buffers, then the first command
will allocate 40% for queue 1 and 20 percent for queue 2,3,4 --->
queue 1 will be 160 buffer, queue 2-4 wil be 80 buffer

for the second commad there is fine tuning in queue 2 i don't
understand deeply the configured values for drop threshold 1 and drop
threshold 2 ( 40 & 60) and I don't understand what they are
configured for.

the other two values I think they are as follow: 100 is the guaranteed
memory for the queue, it means the queue will ot put any excess
buffers to the allocated pools

and value 200 means that the queue can borrow double the the allocated
buffers---. ( 160x2) in case there is congetion, more than that it
will drop packets and I have another question here does 200 percent
means it will bowwo 160x2 buffers or will borrow only 160 additional

Please appreciate if any one can help because the doc cd is nit clear
at all, or if any body has a good documentation for that

thanks
