Egress Queue vs
Packet Priority
Mapping
Each switch port has four egress queues, labeled Q0, Q1, Q2, and Q3. Q0
is the lowest priority queue and Q3 is the highest. A packet in a high
priority egress queue is typically transmitted sooner than a packet in a low
priority queue.Table 3 lists the default mappings between the eight CoS
priority levels and the four egress queues of a switch port.
You can change these mappings. For example, you might decide that
packets with a priority of 6 and 7 need to be handled by egress queue Q3
and packets with a priority of 2 and 3 should be handled in Q1. The result
is shown in Table 4.
