Controlling Packet Dropping by Setting the Size of a Class Queue
To control when the router drops packets (for example, using tail drop), configure the maximum number
of packets a class queue can hold by entering the following commands beginning in global configuration
mode:
Command
Step 1

Purpose
Specifies the name of the policy map and enters policy-map
configuration mode.
policy-map-name is the name of the policy map.
Assigns the traffic class you specify to the policy map. Enters
policy-map class configuration mode.
class-map-name is the name of a previously configured class
map and is the traffic class for which you want to define QoS
actions.
Specifies the amount of bandwidth (in kbps or as a percentage
of available bandwidth) to be assigned to the class. The
amount of bandwidth configured should be large enough to
also accommodate Layer 2 overhead.
