The Enhanced IQ (IQE) PIC family supports a series of non-channelized and channelized interfaces that run at a large variety of speeds. Sophisticated Class-of-Service (CoS) techniques are available for the IQE PICs at the channel level. These techniques include policing based on type-of-service (ToS) bits, five priority levels, two shaping rates (the guaranteed rate and shaping rate), a shared scheduling option, Diffserv code point (DSCP) rewrite on egress, and configurable delay buffers for queuing. All of these features, with numerous examples, will be discussed in this chapter. For a comparison of the capabilities of IQE PICs with other types of PICs, see Comparing the M320, T-series, IQ, IQ2, and Enhanced IQ PICs.
