priority (Schedulers)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify the packet-scheduling priority value.

Options

Note:

Avaiable options can vary by platform and software release.

priority-level can be one of the following:

  • low—Scheduler has low priority.

  • medium-low—Scheduler has medium-low priority.

  • medium-high—Scheduler has medium-high priority.

  • high—Scheduler has high priority. Assigning high priority to a queue prevents the queue from being underserved.

  • strict-high—Scheduler has strictly high priority. Configure a high priority queue with unlimited transmission bandwidth available to it. As long as it has traffic to send, the strict-high priority queue receives precedence over low, medium-low, and medium-high priority queues, but not high priority queues. You can configure strict-high priority on only one queue per interface.

  • low-latency—Scheduler has low latency queuing (LLQ) priority. LLQ enables delay-sensitive data to have preferential treatment over other traffic. A queue configured as a low latency queue has the highest priority over any other priority queues, including strict-high queues.
