You have a strict-high queue configured. You notice that under bursty traffic conditions, there are tail drops on the strict-high queue. Which action would solve this problem?

Question

Options

• AAssign a policer on ingress to assign a low packet loss priority to the strict-high queue.
• BDecrease the buffer size of the strict-high queue.
• CAssign a policer on egress to assign a low packet loss priority to the strict-high queue.
• DIncrease the buffer size of the strict-high queue.

• A
  7% (3)
• B
  16% (7)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  76% (34)

Explanation

A queue with strict-high priority is assured unlimited transmission bandwidth but is not actually assigned a large delay buffer. Not configuring a transmit-rate or an explicit buffer-size on a strict- high priority queue only ensures that the queue gets assigned a default minimum delay buffer, making it possible, under bursty conditions, to see tail-drops on strict-high priority queues. Assigning a small transmit-rate or an explicit temporal or percentage buffer-size to the queue ensures that the queue has a large enough buffer to hold bursts and protect against tail-drops. schedulers-for-priority-scheduling.html
