Packet Scheduling
Packet Scheduling is used to help solve performance degradation when there is
network congestion. Use this
screen to configure queuing algorithms for outgoing
traffic. See also
Priority to Queue Mapping
(
Chapter 10 on page 86
) for related
information.
10.8.1
Strictly Priority Queuing
Strictly Priority Queuing (SPQ) services queues based on priority only. As traffic
comes into the Switch, traffic on the highest priority queue, Q7 is transmitted first.
When that queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue, Q6 is
transmitted until Q6 empties, and then traffic is transmitted on Q5 and so on. If
higher priority queues never empty, then traffic on lower priority queues never
gets sent. SP does not automatically adapt to changing network requirements.
10.8.2
Weighted Fair Queuing
Weighted Fair Queuing is used to guarantee each queue's minimum bandwidth
based on its bandwidth weight (portion) (the number you configure in the Weight
field) when there is traffic congestion. WFQ is activated only when a port has more

Typically used for voice traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is
the variations in delay).

Typically used for network control traffic such as router configuration
messages.
