6.1.3 Queue Buffers
ATM SmartSwitches perform buffering using a shared-memory architecture. Buffer space is divided into queues for
each class of service. In turn, ports are allocated a portion of each of the service class queues. This allocation is
controlled on a per-port basis by the
porttrafficcongestion commands.
Quality of service is defined on an end-to-end basis in terms of cell loss ratio, cell transfer delay, and cell delay
variation.
For example, enter the show porttrafficcongestion command to view current buffer utilization.
SmartSwitch # show porttrafficcongestion

More(/q)?:
MinValue and MaxValue are thresholds set on a per-queue, per-port basis and are measured in cells (53 bytes). The
MinValue threshold is the amount of buffer space guaranteed to a call of a particular service class on the corresponding
port. The MaxValue threshold is the maximum amount of buffer space that a call of a particular service class is allowed
on the corresponding port.
QoS corresponds to the queues as follows:
• Queue 1 — Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
• Queue 2 — Real Time Variable Bit Rate (rt-VBR)
• Queue 3 — Non-real time Variable Bit Rate (Nrt-VBR)
