Schedulin
g Method
Select Strict Priority or Weighted Round Robin.
Strict Priority scheduling singles out the highest priority queue and ensures
all queued traffic in this queue is transmitted before servicing the lower
priority queues. Strict Priority scheduling services the remaining queues
using WRR.
Note: Queue weights can only be changed when Weighted Round
Robin is selected.
Weighted Round Robin scheduling services queues on a rotating basis
based on their queue weight (the number you configure in the queue Weight
field). Queues with larger weights get more service than queues with smaller
weights.
