Understanding QoS
In shared mode, the queues share the bandwidth among them according to the configured weights. The
bandwidth is guaranteed at this level but not limited to it. For example, if a queue is empty and no longer
requires a share of the link, the remaining queues can expand into the unused bandwidth and share it
among them. With sharing, the ratio of the weights controls the frequency of dequeuing; the absolute
values are meaningless. Shaping and sharing is configured per interface. Each interface can be uniquely
configured.
