LocalLB::RateClass::set_queueing_method

Introduced : BIG-IP_v10.1.0
Sets the queueing method, specifying how packets are queued for rate filtering, effectively determining the class of traffic which is dropped, if necessary. Two pre-defined methods exist. “sfq” queues traffic according to the connection information, i.e., being fair to individual connections. “pfifo” queues traffic according to the Type of Service (ToS) packet field. This method is a more expansive version of the set_queue_type method, whose two enumerated types map exactly to the pre-defined “pfifo” and “sfq” objects.
