Queues for the ICX 6430 switch

For the ICX 6430 switch, ingress packets are classified into eight QoS priority levels. These are
mapped internally to four hardware forwarding queues or traffic classes as shown in the following
table. QoS priority 7 is the highest priority, and QoS 0 is the lowest QoS priority (qosp) level.

For the ICX 6430 switch, internal forwarding priority maps to hardware forwarding queues 0 through 3.
The mapping between the internal priority and hardware forwarding queue cannot be changed. The
following tables show the default QoS mappings that are used if the trust level for CoS or DSCP is
enabled. Mappings are the same for stand-alone and stacking systems.
