Tuning Protocol Prioritization
When you enable Protocol Priority on a circuit, the router uses default values that
help determine how priority filters work. These defaults are designed to work well
for most configurations. However, you can customize (or tune) protocol
prioritization to maximize its impact on your network.
This section covers the following topics:
• Tuning Concepts
• Editing Protocol Prioritization Parameters
• Monitoring Protocol Prioritization Statistics
Tuning Concepts
How you tune protocol prioritization depends on whether you are using the
bandwidth allocation algorithm or strict dequeuing algorithm. (See “The
Dequeuing Process” earlier in this chapter.)
To tune priority queuing with the bandwidth allocation algorithm, consider
adjusting the following configuration defaults:
• Percent of Bandwidth
• Queue Size
To tune priority queuing with the strict dequeuing algorithm, consider adjusting
the following configuration defaults:
• Queue Size
• Latency
Percent of Bandwidth
When using the bandwidth allocation algorithm, you can change the default
allocation of bandwidth for each of the three priority queues.
Queued traffic with large packets often require more than the default bandwidth
allocation. For example, if statistics indicate that one interface requires more than
70 percent of bandwidth to properly transmit high-priority traffic, you can
increase the High Queue Size parameter and decrease the Normal or Low Queue
Size parameter.
