NAME
       queue - Configures a custom queuing method.

MODULE
       net rate-shaping

SYNTAX
       Configure the queue component within the net rate-shaping module using
       the syntax in the following sections.

   CREATE/MODIFY
	create queue [pfifo | sfq]
	modify queue [all | pfifo | sfq]
	  options:
	    app-service [[string] | none]
	    description [string]
	    pfifo-max-size [integer]
	    pfifo-min-size [integer]
	    sfq-bucket-count [integer]
	    sfq-bucket-size [integer]
	    sfq-perturbation [integer]
	    type [pfifo | sfq]

	edit queue [ [ [all | pfifo | sfq] | [glob] | [regex] ] ... ]
	  options:
	    all-properties
	    non-default-properties

   DISPLAY
	list queue
	list queue [ [ [all | pfifo | sfq] | [glob] | [regex] ] ... ]
	show running-config queue
	show running-config queue
	  [ [ [all | pfifo | sfq] | [glob] | [regex] ] ... ]
	  options:
	    all-properties

	    one-line

   DELETE
	delete queue [all | [name] ]

DESCRIPTION
       You can use the queue component to configure a custom queuing method.

EXAMPLES
       create queue my_q type pfifo

       Creates a pfifo type queue name my_q.

       list queue all-properties

       Displays all of the properties of all of the queue.

OPTIONS
       app-service
	    Specifies the name of the application service to which the object
	    belongs. The default value is none. Note: If the strict-updates
	    option is enabled on the application service that owns the object,
	    you cannot modify or delete the object. Only the application
	    service can modify or delete the object.

       description
	    User defined description.

       glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob
	    for a description of glob expression syntax.

       name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required
	    for the commands create, delete, and modify.

       pfifo-max-size
	    Specifies the size of the largest queue for the pfifo type only.
	    The default value is 0 (zero). Valid units are bytes(default), eb,
	    gb, k, kb, mb, pb, and tb.

       pfifo-min-size
	    Specifies the size of the smallest queue for the pfifo type only.
	    The default value is 0 (zero). Valid units are bytes(default), eb,
	    gb, k, kb, mb, pb, and tb.

       regex
	    Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular
	    expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular expression])
	    to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help
	    regex for a description of regular expression syntax.

       sfq-bucket-count
	    Specifies the number of buckets into which the queue is divided
	    when you are configuring the sfq type. Valid values are 0, 16, 32,
	    64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024. The default value is 0 (zero).

       sfq-bucket-size
	    Specifies the bucket size for the sfq type. The default value is 0
	    (zero). Valid units are bytes(default), eb, gb, k, kb, mb, pb, and
	    tb.

       sfq-perturbation
	    Specifies the interval in seconds at which the system reconfigures
	    the SFQ hash function. This option applies only to the sfq type.
	    The default value is 0 (zero).

       type Specifies the queue discipline this custom queue uses. The options
	    are:

	    pfifo
		 The Priority FIFO queuing method queues all traffic under a
		 set of five sub-queues based on the Type of Service (TOS)
		 field of the traffic. Four of the sub-queues correspond to
		 the four possible TOS values (Minimum delay, Maximum
		 throughput, Maximum reliability, and Minimum cost). The fifth
		 sub-queue represents traffic with no TOS value. The Priority
		 FIFO method processes these five sub-queues in a way that
		 preserves the meaning of the TOS value as much as possible.
		 For example, a packet with the TOS value of Minimum cost
		 might yield dequeuing to a packet with the TOS value of
		 Minimum delay.

	    sfq  Stochastic Fair Queuing is a queuing method that further
		 queues packets under a set of many FIFO sub-queues. Selecting
		 a specific sub-queue is based on a hash of the flow address
		 information. SFQ dequeues packets from the set of sub-queues
		 in a Round Robin fashion. The overall effect is that fairness
		 of dequeuing is achieved, because packets from one flow
		 cannot occupy the queues at the exclusion of those of another
		 flow.
