profile <profile-name>

The name of a QoS profile.

In policy qos name <policy-name> shaper profile <profile-name>, the profile name is always a local QoS profile. Configurations paths that have this root define a local QoS profile.

In policy qos name <policy-name> shaper default <profile-name> or policy qos name <policy-name> shaper class <class-number> profile <profile-name> the profile name can be either a local or global QoS profile name. A configuration path that has either of these roots references a QoS profile that is defined either locally or globally.

queue <queue-id>
Specifies the profile queue identifier.
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.
