| Description | The max-threshold is the maximum permissible queue
depth. In tail drop scenarios, the queue will drop if a
packet is presented to it and it is instantaneously
full by this measure. In random drop scenarios, the
queue will drop if a packet is presented to it and the
average queue depth exceeds the max-threshold.
This object is in the action table rather than the
queue table because Differentiated Services PHBs, such
as the Assured Service, permit differently classified
traffic to have different drop parameters even though
they occupy the same queue. |
