How to know the Average Queue Size

jefferyshi
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I read the CBWFQ document regarding of average queue size.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/fswfq26.html#wp1019686

The average queue size is based on the previous average and the current size of the queue. The formula

is as follows, where n is the exponential weight factor, a user-configurable value:

average = (old_average * (1-1/2^n)) + (current_queue_size * 1/2^n)

My question is that, how can I know the current queue size in advance? Is there any command can show it? Do you have any idear.

Any experience or insight info is appreciated.

jeffrey

(depth/total drops/no-buffer drops) 0/0/0

exponential weight: 9

mean queue depth: 0

I've highlighted the average WRED queue depth stat.

By the way, do you have any idear and experience about to set Minimum and Maximum threshold value regarding to ethernet bandwidth?

You might begin with 1/2 of (max as BDP and min 1/3 max). This also assumes TCP traffic.

Hello Jeffrey,

you can see the current size with sh queueing

sh queueing int ser2/0/0

Interface Serial2/0/0 queueing strategy: VIP-based fair queueing

Serial2/0/0 queue size 0

pkts output 26856883303, wfq drops 0, nobuffer drops 0

WFQ: aggregate queue limit 6614 max available buffers 6614

Class 1: bandwidth 3000 exceed drops 0

Class 2: bandwidth 30000 exceed drops 0

The average queue size is used by WRED to manage congestion.

Hope to help

"Is there any command can show it?"

Besides using sh queuing interface, as noted in Giuseppe's post, when using CBWFQ, sh policy-map out interface should usually show WRED's current average queue size in the stats.

"My question is that, how can I know the current queue size in advance?"

Not practically.

Hi Joseph and all,

I am use CBWFQ. Here is sho policy-map interface out, it seem can not see current average queue size.

I know the current average should change frequently per second. If exceed minimum threshold value, should some random drop occur. I want to know the current average queue size, and can help me to resize the threshold. By the way, do you have any idear and experience about to set Minimum and Maximum threshold value regarding to ethernet bandwidth?
