Multicast queue size, flow control, rate shaping and egress buffer
threshold

There are four internal priorities for multicast or broadcast traffic. These four priorities are mapped
from the device’s eight internal priorities as described in

Table 16

The internal forwarding priority of a multicast or broadcast packet is determined from the packet’s
IEEE 802.1p priority, incoming port priority or IP ToS or DSCP as described in the

“Default QoS

mappings”

on page 79. Four multicast queue types (0 to 3) are used for multicast internal priorities

0 to 3 respectively.

NOTE

Instead of ACL priority, use VLAN or port priority to prioritize multicast traffic.

Configuring multicast queue size

The following example configures a 2 MByte queue size for queue 0.

Brocade(config)# qos multicast-queue-type 0 max-queue-size 2048

Syntax: [no] qos multicast-queue-type queue-number max-queue-size queue-size

The queue-number variable specifies the queue that you want to configure a maximum size for.
Possible values are 0 - 3.

The queue-size variable specifies size in KBytes that you want to set as the maximum value for the
specified multicast queue. Possible values are 1 - 32768 KBytes. The default queue size is 1
Mbyte. This command is applied per device and takes effect on all Traffic Managers within the
configured device.
