Default Scheduler Settings

Each forwarding class has an associated scheduler priority. Only two forwarding classes, best-effort and network-control (queue 0 and queue 3), are used in the JUNOS default scheduler configuration.

By default, the best-effort forwarding class (queue 0) receives 95 percent of the output link bandwidth and buffer space, and the network-control forwarding class (queue 3) receives 5 percent of the output link bandwidth and buffer space. The default drop profile causes the buffer to fill and then discard all packets until it again has space.

The expedited-forwarding and assured-forwarding classes have no schedulers, because by default no resources are assigned to queue 1 and queue 2. However, you can manually configure resources for expedited-forwarding and assured-forwarding.

The default scheduler settings are implicit in the configuration, although they do not appear in the output of the show class-of-service command.
