No, Dual FIFO does not mean "a pair of poodles."  That would be Dual
FOOFOO.  Then again, it may be Dual FIDO.  Anyway....

While browsing on CCO I found a better explanation of the Dual FIFO
queue.  This excerpt is taken from:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/intsolns/qossol/qosvoip.htm#xtocid635517


At the interface level, a FIFO queue is set up unless you have enabled
FRF.12 fragmentation. In that case, a dual FIFO system is set up with a
high priority queue and a low priority queue. The high priority queue
receives the PQ traffic from all PVCs plus Layer 2 control traffic. The
low priority queue receives all other traffic from all PVCs. Remember
that Frame Relay traffic shaping (FRTS) is required for Frame Relay
circuits whether FRF.12 fragmentation is enabled or not. FRTS provides
the back-pressure mechanism to detect congestion per PVC. Support for
ATM PVCs is available in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)T.

HTH,
John
