QoS Class Dialog Box—Queuing and Congestion Avoidance Tab
Use the Queuing and Congestion Avoidance tab of the QoS Class dialog box to perform Class-Based
Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ) on the output traffic in the selected QoS class. Queuing prioritizes
traffic and manages congestion on your network by determining the order in which packets are sent out
over an interface. Queuing and congestion avoidance applies only to interface classes for output traffic.
The fields displayed in the Queuing tab depend on whether you are defining a specific QoS class or the
default class (by selecting Set as Default Class), and also by the type of router and the Cisco IOS
software version.
Navigation Path
Go to the QoS Class Dialog Box, then click the Queuing and Congestion Avoidance tab.
