QoS Process for Egress Traffic

Process

The QoS process for egress traffic involves the following steps:

1. Storing the frame or packet in one of eight egress queues.

The switch stores the frame or packet in the queue that matches the priority that was identified on the ingress port.

2. Forwarding the frame or packet from the queue to the egress port for transmission.

The switch uses algorithms that allocate bandwidth among the egress queues to forward the traffic in the queues. The Avaya Multiservice switch software supports the following queue-servicing algorithms for egress ports:

• Weighted fair queuing (WFQ)
• Class-based queuing (CBQ)
• Class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ)
• Strict Priority Queuing
