Default Routing Engine Protocol Queue Assignments
Table 53 lists how Routing Engine-sourced traffic is mapped to output queues. The follow caveats apply to Table 53:
- For all packets sent to queue 3 over a VLAN-tagged interface, the software sets the 802.1p bit to 110.
- For IPv4 and IPv6 packets, the software copies the IP type-of-service (ToS) value into the 802.1p field independently of which queue the packets are sent out.
- For MPLS packets, the software copies the EXP bits into
the 802.1p field.

Link Services (LS) PIC
If link fragmentation and interleaving (LFI) is enabled, all routing protocol packets larger then 128 bytes are transmitted from queue 0. This ensures that VoIP traffic is not affected. Fragmentation is supported on queue 0 only.
Adaptive Services PIC
TCP tickle (keepalive packets for idle session generated with stateful firewall to probe idle TCP sessions) are sent from queue 0.
Real-time performance monitoring (RPM) probe packets
