CoS TxQ Port-Resource (Outbound Rate Shapers)

Rate shaping throttles the rate at which queues transmit packets. See Rate Shaping for a general discussion of rate shaping. Rate shaping is TCP friendly; it buffers packets that are above the rate rather than drop them. CoS rate shaping allows you to configure rate shapers based on a unit rate (kilobits/second, megabits/second, gigabits/second), or a percentage of the port‘s line speed.

The show cos port-resource txq command displays resources for each port group created along with the resource index (physical queue). By default, no resources are configured for TxQ port-resources. Rates displayed as none indicate no resources exist. The default Rate Shaping algorithm is tail-drop and is not configurable.

The following example displays default values for the show cos port-resource txq command S-Series output (S-, K-Series):

The following example displays default values for the show cos port-resource txq command 7100-Series output (7100-Series):
