I can immediately think of one example.  Let's say you have a T-1 access
link with multiple data types that include VoIP and video conferencing. 
You want to make sure that VoIP traffic gets its own priority queue, so
let's say you give it 384k.  You then want to give the video
conferencing traffic another priority queue because it's such a
high-visibility technology, so you allow it to use another 384k.  

This would leave roughly half of the link available for other data
types during periods of congestion while making sure your high priority
applications (pun intended) do not drop packets and have the lowest
latency possible on that link.

I will be attempting exactly this sometime next year when we roll out
VoIP to a branch that already has video conferencing.  To make matters
more interesting, this is on a frame relay link, not a point-to-point
link.  Lotsa fun!

I had heard, though, that only one priority statement was possible. 
You're saying that you successfully used two?  That's good news for me,
I was starting to get worried.  I'd be interested to find out if it
truly behaved as expected when experiencing congestion.  If you test
this out, please let us know what you find.

Has anyone ever seen 2 priority queue's in LLQ?  What would be the
reason
and how would those 2 get serviced?  Round Robin?  FIFO?  It does work
beucasue I just saw it on a config and tried it myself, but can't
figure out
why they did it.
