Class Based Queuing Object - Overview |
The Class Based Queuing Object (CBQ) separates and queues network traffic (inbound or outbound) and processes the traffic using policies that define priority and throughput limits.
This Object can assist in minimizing network congestion and traffic latency during peak workloads, as well as maximize bandwidth utilization for high priority traffic by systematically "sharing" the available bandwidth between "classes" of traffic.
The CBQ Object supports up to 8 simultaneously active policies which can be defined for specific traffic (classes) that is routed from filtering and branching Objects employed in the TTC configuration. These policies specify the amount of bandwidth that can be instantaneously utilized by each class or queue, as well as set limits for the sharing of unused bandwidth by other more active traffic classes or queues.
Users may define any number of "policies" which can be selectively assigned to the available Classes or queues within the CBQ Object.
Multiple CBQ Objects may be used within a Configuration to achieve a variety of bandwidth management goals.
For further information, see the CBQ Implementation chapter.
