Re: 3560: Queuing and WRD at less than interface rate

Hi,

On the 3560 platfor, you can use the command "srr-queue bandwidth limit" to
enforce interface-wide shaping (it actually is shaping, since it delays
packets). Combined with speed manipulation (10/100/1000) you can "shape"
interface to as little as 1Mbps (with some granularity for speed values, of
course).

At the same time, you can configure the use of SRR queues (either in shaped
or shared modes) with this feature. In effect, this allows implementing
hierarchical shaping, with per-interface shaped rate combined with per-queue
shaping.

Of course, there are just four-queues and therefore four aggregate traffic
classes. But this is the price you have to pay for the high switching
performance! :)
