Example: Configuring Priority Scheduling on SONET/SDH OC48/STM16 IQE PICs

In the following example, ef is an expedited forwarding traffic queue; af_01, af_02, af_03, andaf_04 are assured forwarding traffic queues; be is a best effort forwarding queue; and nc is a network control traffic queue.

As shown in Table 1, the ef queue takes precedence over all queues and consumes 150 Mbps (50 percent of the PIR; that is, half of 300 Mpbs) bandwidth. The remaining 150 Mbps is rate limited. The af_01, af_02, af_03, af_04 and the be queues do not get any bandwidth.

Because the rate limit is not configured on the nc queue, and it has the excess high priority, the nc queue consumes the remaining bandwidth of 150 Mbps.
