TQueueMode

• Base type Enumeration

The mode in which the queue is operating. If the queue is operating in the 'priority' mode, it is capable of handling traffic differently with two distinct priorities. These priorities are assigned by the stages preceding the queueing framework in the system. When the queue is operating in the 'profile' mode, in other words the color aware mode, the queue tries to provide the appropriate bandwidth to the packets with different profiles. The profiles are assigned according to the configuration of the forwarding class or the sub-forwarding class. In 'priority' mode, the queue does not have the functionality to support the profiled traffic and in such cases the queue will have a degraded performance. However, the converse is not valid and a queue in 'profile' mode should be capable of supporting the different priorities of traffic.
