size greater than 200 bytes:
queues on that interface are scanned for packets in descending order of priority. The high-
priority queue is scanned first, then the medium-priority queue, and so on. The packet at the
head of the highest queue is chosen for transmission. This procedure is repeated every time a
packet is to be sent. The maximum length of a queue is defined by the length limit. When a
queue is longer than the queue limit, all additional packets are dropped.
packet type has a chance of receiving at least a minimum level of service. Each queue is
serviced in sequence. A percent of traffic in each queue is passed before the next queue is
processed. Custom queuing guarantees that mission-critical data is always assigned a certain
percentage of the bandwidth, but it also ensures predictable throughput for other traffic. The
amount of bandwidth can be configured and reserved for each traffic type.
built. Each queue is serviced sequentially until the number of bytes sent exceeds the
configurable byte count or the queue is empty. Custom queuing is designed for environments
that want to ensure at least a bare minimum of service for all protocols. It allows protocols of
different characteristics to share the media.
