Note: While you can find this configuration path in the CLI, note that the value of
period <number> is ignored on hardware platforms.Controls the definition of the enforcement period for the QoS scheduler. This affects how frequently the QoS scheduler generates packets.
The enforcement period affects how the QoS scheduler operates. In general, a short period results in many small bursts of traffic, whilst a long period results in fewer, larger bursts of traffic.
For example, if the maximum burst size is 1MB and the period is 20 milliseconds, then up to 1MB of traffic can be sent every 20 milliseconds.
Note: The
period, burst and bandwidth arguments are inter-related, so you must consider them together.policy- This keyword exists for 'organizational' purposes only, to structure the configuration path for relevant command strings.
