How the Router Determines VC Weights
queue-depth Command
To configure the segmentation and reassembly (SAR) line card queue depth for each VC interface queue,
use the queue-depth command in ATM PVC configuration mode. To remove a queue-depth setting, use
the no form of the command. By default, no line card queue depth is set.

Description
The queue-depth command was introduced on the PRE2.
This command was integrated in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB for the
PRE2.
This command was introduced on the PRE3.
The number of cells that a VC can send to the VP tunnel before the SAR
mechanism moves on to the next VC. A high value has a high VC priority
in the VP scheduler. Valid values are from 1 to 255 (PRE2) and 1 to 1000
(PRE3).
Note
We recommend that you do not configure the weight_value below
10 (PRE2).
