I find this white paper to be useful:
http://www.juniper.net/solutions/literature/white_papers/200020.pdf
When you configure a scheduler you indicate a priority of low, high, or
strict-high.
lab at San_Jose# show schedulers
be-scheduler {
transmit-rate 1m exact;
priority low;
drop-profile-map loss-priority low protocol tcp drop-profile
low-red;
drop-profile-map loss-priority high protocol tcp drop-profile
high-red;
}
ef-scheduler {
transmit-rate 20m;
buffer-size temporal 200000;
priority high;
}
nc-scheduler {
transmit-rate percent 5;
priority low;
}
The DWRR services high priority with positive, until they go negative,
then it moves on to service low priority with positive credit. A strict
high queue has a weight that is equal to the interface's speed, so it
can never go negative. A strict-high queue can starve a low priority
queue, but not another high priority queue with positive credit.
A strict-high and a high priority queue that are both positive are
serviced in a round-robin manner. So, generally speaking if you use a
strict-high it is a good idea to define the NC queue as high to ensure
that control signaling is not starved.
