buffer-size (Schedulers)

Syntax

buffer-size (percent percentage | remainder | temporal microseconds);

Hierarchy Level

[edit class-of-service schedulers scheduler-name]

Release Information

Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.1X48 for PTX Series Packet Transport Switches.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for ACX Series Routers.

Description

Specify buffer size.

Note: On PTX Series Packet Transport Switches, buffer-size cannot be configured on rate-limited queues.

Default

If you do not include this statement, the default scheduler transmission rate and buffer size percentages for queues 0 through 7 are 95, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 0, and 0 percent, respectively.

Options

percent percentage—Buffer size as a percentage of the total buffer.

Range: 0 through 100

remainder—Remaining buffer available.

temporal microseconds—Buffer size as a temporal value. The queuing algorithm starts dropping packets when it queues more than a computed number of bytes. This maximum is computed by multiplying the logical interface speed by the configured temporal value.

Range: The ranges vary by platform. See Buffer Size Temporal Value Ranges by Router Type.

Required Privilege Level

interface—To view this statement in the configuration.

interface-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
