QoS Queues - Why is ef queue empty?

[r.stockton]

I have the following policy in place and am unsure as to why the ef  queue is empty.  I see the ef packets being matched and the first  portion of the output indicates ef packets going to the priority queue,  but the following table shows the ef queue shows 0/0 accross the board  and the other packet counts don't seem to add up.  Oh and what is the "cs6"

Thanks!

Hi,

The "following table" is for class-default; EF packets are matched in "high" class, and put in priority queue. C6 could be the routing protocol, or other control plane traffic.

HTH,

Hi,

The default class is assigned (IP Precedence =1) , (AF11) by default if not marked. and thats what the table indicates.

the ef is matched in the class and put into priority queue,

Regards,

Mohamed

Ahh, ok.

So, the table is simply listing anything not matched and queued in the policy-maps.   Correct?

Am I now reading this correctly:

- Conversation 264 is the Priority Queue with 33% of the bandwitch.  This is for all ef packets

- Conversation 265 is some other queue with 384k for af31 packets.  <---what is this queue?

- ramaining traffic goes to the default-queue and we are seeing af11 (default marked) and cs6 (possible routing protocols, etc)

- what is "default" traffic at the bottom of the table?

Thanks for your assistance, both of you.

Hi,

That is correct.

Class "enhanced" matches packets with dscp af31, and it uses conversaction 265; class "high" matches packets with dscp ef, and it ues conversaction 264. The rest traffic are in "class-default". There are 3 type of traffic in class-default, traffic with dscp cs6, af11 and default(0). You need to check the marking configure to see what traffic is been marked to af11 or 0.

HTH,
