QueuePATtern

Syntax

SHow [!<port> | !*] -POrt QueuePATtern

Default

HHMHMHLH (5:2:1)

Description

The QueuePATtern parameter displays the eight-slot queue pattern for the interleave factor configured by -POrt QueueInterLeave. This parameter also displays a ratio based on the queue pattern.

The following is a sample display for port 1:

HHMHMHLH (5:2:1)

The information in the display is based on the default value (3, 2) of the -POrt QueueInterLeave parameter. This display indicates that the first and second packets are sent from the high-priority queue, the third packet is sent from the medium-priority queue, and so on. Once the eighth packet is sent, the algorithm wraps to the beginning of the pattern.

If a packet is to be sent from the high-priority queue but that queue is empty, a packet from the medium-priority queue is sent instead. If the medium-priority queue is also empty, a packet from the low-priority queue is sent. If a packet is to be sent from the medium-priority queue but that queue is empty, a packet from the high-priority queue is sent instead. If a packet is to be sent from the low-priority queue but that queue is empty, a high-priority packet is sent instead.
