Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1 for the QFX Series.

Description

Specify the packet-scheduling drop priority value.

Options

priority—It can be one of the following:

  • low—Scheduler has low priority.
  • strict-high—Scheduler has strict high priority. You can configure only one queue as a strict-high priority queue. Strict-high priority allocates the scheduled bandwidth to the queue before any other queue receives bandwidth. Other queues receive the bandwidth that remains after the strict-high queue has been serviced.

    Note: We recommend that you always apply a shaping rate to strict-high priority queues to prevent them from starving other queues. If you do not apply a shaping rate to limit the amount of bandwidth a strict-high priority queue can use, then the strict-high priority queue can use all of the available port bandwidth and starve other queues on the port.


Required Privilege Level
