Configuring Traffic Filters and Protocol Prioritization
2-2
The router automatically queues frames that do not match a traffic filter to the
Normal queue. After queuing packets, the router then drains the priority queues
and sends the traffic to the transmit queue.
Generally, the router transmits higher priority traffic first. Other configured values
in the protocol prioritization scheme also affect the transmission of traffic. Two
configurable values are queue depth and line delay, or latency, described in
“Tuning Protocol Prioritization.”
The Dequeuing Process
Circuit-level protocol prioritization uses one of two dequeuing algorithms to send
traffic to the transmit queue: the bandwidth allocation algorithm or the strict
dequeuing algorithm.
Figure 2-1 illustrates the dequeuing process, with default configuration values.
