buffer-size (Schedulers)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify buffer size.

Note:

On PTX Series Packet Transport Routers, buffer-size cannot be configured on rate-limited queues.

Default

If you do not include this statement, the default scheduler transmission rate and buffer size percentages for queues 0 through 7 are 95, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 0, and 0 percent, respectively.

Options

percent percentage

Buffer size as a percentage of the total buffer.

  • Range: 0 through 100

remainder

Remaining buffer available.

shared

On PTX Series routers, set a queue’s buffer to be up to 100 percent of the interface’s buffer. This option allows the queue’s buffer to grow as large as 100 percent of the interface's buffer if and only if it is the only active queue for the interface.

temporal microseconds

Buffer size as a temporal value. The queuing algorithm starts dropping packets when it queues more than a computed number of bytes. This maximum is computed by multiplying the logical interface speed by the configured temporal value.

  • Range: The ranges vary by platform as follows:

    • For SRX Series Firewalls: 1 through 2,000,000 microseconds.

    • For vSRX instances: 1 through 32,000,000 microseconds.
