Configuring SRR Shared Weights on Egress Queues
In shared mode, the queues share the bandwidth among them according to the configured weights. The
bandwidth is guaranteed at this level but not limited to it. For example, if a queue empties and does not
require a share of the link, the remaining queues can expand into the unused bandwidth and share it
among them. With sharing, the ratio of the weights controls the frequency of dequeuing; the absolute
values are meaningless.

Note
The egress queue default settings are suitable for most situations. You should change them only when
you have a thorough understanding of the egress queues and if these settings do not meet your QoS
solution.

command.
This example shows how to configure the weight ratio of the SRR scheduler running on an egress port.
Four queues are used, and the bandwidth ratio allocated for each queue in shared mode is 1/(1+2+3+4),
2/(1+2+3+4), 3/(1+2+3+4), and 4/(1+2+3+4), which is 10 percent, 20 percent, 30 percent, and 40
percent for queues 1, 2, 3, and 4. This means that queue 4 has four times the bandwidth of queue 1, twice
the bandwidth of queue 2, and one-and-a-third times the bandwidth of queue 3.

Configuring the Egress Expedite Queue
You can ensure that certain packets have priority over all others by queuing them in the egress expedite
queue. SRR services this queue until it is empty before servicing the other queues.
