priority-local

priority-local

Specifies the assignment of a profile queue for locally generated control packets.

Locally generated control packets such as routing, BFD or ARP packets may benefit from an elevated priority because the stability of the network relies upon them. To do this, you can assign a profile queue as the priority local queue. Otherwise, these locally generated control packets are mixed with transit traffic, which may result in the control packets being delayed or dropped.
