queues.
During the queueing and scheduling process, the switch uses egress queues (to select the
minimum-reserve level and buffer size) and WRR for congestion management.
Each 10/100 Ethernet port has four egress queues, one of which can be the egress expedite queue. Each
queue can access one of eight minimum-reserve levels; each level has 100 packets of buffer space by
default for queueing packets. When the buffer specified for the minimum-reserve level is full, packets
are dropped until space is available.

buffer sizes. The figure shows four egress queues per port, with each queue assigned to a
minimum-reserve level. For example, for Fast Ethernet port 0/1, queue 1 is assigned to minimum-reserve
level 1, queue 2 is assigned to minimum-reserve level 3, queue 3 is assigned to minimum-reserve level
5, and queue 4 is assigned to minimum-reserve level 7. You assign the minimum-reserve level to a queue
by using the wrr-queue min-reserve interface configuration command.
