priority queueing and policing is two very different topics. with priority queues you says "this traffic needs low latency and low jitter, so it must be sent out as soon as possible, other traffic must wait". policing can be applied to any queue and is saying "the traffic in this queue must not exceed X kbps, and drop the excess traffic". policing can be a bit more complex than that, but that's another story. the combination of priority queues and a policer gives a priority queue with a maximum bandwidth. as said before: it's important to limit the priority traffic to avoid starvation in other queues. -- Pelle _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
