Figure 2-5. Reconfigured Priority Queue Statistics for the Queue Size
Examples
To see whether this reallocation solves the problem, reset the Clipped Packets
Count and High-Water Packets Mark counters using the Statistics Manager and
check them again later.
Latency
Line delay, or latency, indicates how many bits of normal- or low-priority traffic
the router can allocate to the transmit queue at any one time. The latency value is
the greatest time delay that a high-priority packet can experience.
Latency is based on the line speed of the attached media. The following formula
illustrates how the line speed, bits queued, and latency value are related:
Latency = Bits Queued / Line Speed (b/s)
The default value for latency is 250 milliseconds (ms). This value generally
ensures good throughput and maintains rapid terminal response (rapid echoing of
keystrokes and timely response to commands) over most media.
You can change the default latency value by setting the Max High Queue La
tency
parameter. Keep in mind, however, that if you specify a higher latency value (thus
allowing more room on the transmit queue), throughput increases, but terminal
response time decreases. Bay Networks recommends using the default value of
250 ms.
