Configuring Weighted Fair Queuing
WFQprovidestrafficpriority management thatautomatically sorts among individualtraffic
streams without requiring that you first define access lists. WFQ can also manage duplex
data streams such as those between pairs of applications, and simplex data streams such as
voice or video. There are two categories of WFQ sessions: high bandwidth and low
bandwidth. Low-bandwidth traffic has effective priority over high-bandwidth traffic, and
high-bandwidthtrafficshares the transmission service proportionally according to assigned
weights.
When WFQ is enabled for an interface, new messages for high-bandwidth traffic streams
are discarded after the configured or default congestive messages threshold has been met.
However, low-bandwidth conversations, which include control message conversations,
continue to enqueue data. As a result, the fair queue may occasionally contain more
messages than its configured threshold number specifies.
With standard WFQ, packets are classified by flow. Packets with the same source IP
address, destination IP address, source Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) port, or destination TCP or UDP port belong to the same flow.
WFQ allocates an equal share of the bandwidth to each flow. Flow-based WFQ is also
called fair queuing because all flows are equally weighted.
To configure fair queuing on an interface, complete the following steps starting in global
configuration mode:
Step Command Purpose
1
hq-sanjose(config)# interface serial 1/0
Specify an interface and enter interface
configuration mode. This example specifies serial
interface 1/0 on the headquarters router.
2
hq-sanjose(config-if)# fair-queue
Configure fair queuing on the interface.
3
hq-sanjose(config-if)# exit
hq-sanjose(config)#
Exit back to global configuration mode.
