show queue

To display the contents of packets inside a queue for a particular interface or virtual circuit (VC), use the show queue command in privileged EXEC mode.

show queue interface-name interface-number [queue-number] [vc [vpi/] vci]]

Syntax Description

interface-name

The name of the interface.

interface-number

The number of the interface.

queue-number

The number of the queue. The queue number is a number from 1 to 16.

vc

(Optional) For ATM interfaces only, shows the fair queueing configuration for a specified permanent virtual circuit (PVC). The name can be up to 16 characters long.

vpi/

(Optional) ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) for this PVC. The absence of the "/" and a vpi value defaults the vpi value to 0.

On the Cisco 7200 and Cisco 7500 series routers, this value ranges from 0 to 255.

The vpi and vci arguments cannot both be set to 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.

If this value is omitted, information for all VCs on the specified ATM interface or subinterface is displayed.

vci

(Optional) ATM network virtual channel identifier (VCI) for this PVC. This value ranges from 0 to 1 less than the maximum value set for this interface by the atm vc-per-vp command. Typically, lower values 0 to 31 are reserved for specific traffic (F4 Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM), switched virtual circuit (SVC) signalling, Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI), and so on) and should not be used.

The VCI is a 16-bit field in the header of the ATM cell. The VCI value is unique only on a single link, not throughout the ATM network, because it has local significance only.

The vpi and vci arguments cannot both be set to 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.

Usage Guidelines

This command displays the contents of packets inside a queue for a particular interface or VC.

This command does not support VIP-distributed Weighted Random Early Detection WRED (DWRED). You can use the vc keyword and the show queue command arguments to display output for a PVC only on Enhanced ATM port adapters (PA-A3) that support per-VC queueing.

Examples

The following examples show sample output when the show queue command is entered and either weighted fair queueing (WFQ), WRED, or flow-based WRED are configured.

WFQ Example

The following is sample output from the show queue command for PVC 33 on the atm2/0.33 ATM subinterface. Two conversations are active on this interface. WFQ ensures that both data streams receive equal bandwidth on the interface while they have messages in the pipeline.

Flow-Based WRED Example

The following is sample output from the show queueing random-detect command. The output shows that the interface is configured for flow-based WRED to ensure fair packet drop among flows. The random-detect flow average-depth-factor command was used to configure a scaling factor of 8 for this interface. The scaling factor is used to scale the number of buffers available per flow and to determine the number of packets allowed in the output queue of each active flow before the queue is susceptible to packet drop. The maximum flow count for this interface was set to 16 by the random-detect flow count command.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The show table-map command displays all existing table map configurations

Examples

The sample output of the show table-map command shows the contents of a table map called "map 1". In "map1", a "to-from" relationship has been established and a default value has been defined. The fields for establishing the "to-from" mappings are further defined by the policy map in which the table map will be configured. (Configuring a policy map is the next logical step after creating a table map.)

For instance, a precedence or differentiated services code point (DSCP) value of 0 could be mapped to a class of service (CoS) value of 1, or vice versa, depending on the how the values are defined in the table map. Any values not explicitly defined in a "to-from" relationship will be set to a default value.

The following sample output of the show table-map command displays the contents of a table map called "map1". In this table map, a packet-marking value of 0 is mapped to a packet-marking value of 1. All other packet-marking values are mapped to the default value 3.

12.2(13)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to create a mapping table. The mapping table, a type of conversion chart, is used for establishing a "to-from" relationship between packet-marking types or categories. For example, a mapping table can be used to establish a "to-from" relationship between the following packet-marking categories:

Class of service (CoS)

Precedence

Differentiated services code point (DSCP)

Quality of service (QoS) group

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental (EXP) imposition

MPLS EXP topmost

When configuring the table map, you must specify the packet-marking values to be used in the conversion. The values you can enter vary by packet-marking category.

Table 76 lists the valid value ranges you can enter for each packet-marking category.

Table 76 Valid Value Ranges

Packet-Marking Category
Value Ranges

CoS

Specific IEEE 802.1Q number in the range from 0 to 7.

Precedence

Number in the range from 0 to 7.

DSCP

Number in the range from 0 to 63.

QoS Group

Number in the range from 0 to 99.

MPLS EXP imposition

Number in the range from 0 to 7.

MPLS EXP topmost

Number in the range from 0 to 7.


Examples

In the following example, the table-map (value mapping) command has been configured to create a table map called "map1". In "map1", two "to-from" relationships have been established and a default value has been defined. The fields for establishing the "to-from" mappings are further defined by the policy map in which the table map will be configured. (Configuring a policy map is the next logical step after creating a table map.)

For instance, a precedence or DSCP value of 0 could be mapped to a CoS value of 0, or vice versa, depending on the how the table map is configured. Any values not explicitly defined in a "to-from" relationship will be set to a default value.

Router(config)# table-map map1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command specifies the boundaries in which traffic will be shaped when BECN signals are received. You must enable traffic shaping on the interface with the traffic-shape rate or traffic-shape group command before you can use the traffic-shape adaptive command.

The bit rate specified for the traffic-shape rate command is the upper limit, and the bit rate specified for the traffic-shape adaptive command is the lower limit to which traffic is shaped when BECN signals are received on the interface. The rate actually shaped to will be between these two bit rates.

You should configure this command and the traffic-shape fecn-adapt command on both ends of the connection to ensure adaptive traffic shaping over the connection, even when traffic is flowing primarily in one direction. The traffic-shape fecn-adapt command configures the router to reflect forward explicit congestion notification (FECN) signals as BECN signals.

Examples

The following example configures traffic shaping on serial interface 0.1 with an upper limit of 128 kbps and a lower limit of 64 kbps. This configuration allows the link to run from 64 to 128 kbps, depending on the congestion level.

Usage Guidelines

Enable traffic shaping on the interface with the traffic-shape rate or traffic-shape group command. FECN is available only when traffic shaping is configured.

Use this command to reflect FECN bits as BECN bits. Reflecting FECN bits as BECN bits notifies the sending DTE that it is transmitting at a rate too fast for the DTE to handle. Use the traffic-shape adaptive command to configure the router to adapt its transmission rate when it receives BECN signals.

You should configure this command and the traffic-shape adaptive command on both ends of the connection to ensure adaptive traffic shaping over the connection, even when traffic is flowing primarily in one direction.

Usage Guidelines

Generic traffic shaping is not supported on ISDN and dialup interfaces. Is is also not supported on nongeneric routing encapsulation tunnel interfaces. Traffic shaping is not supported with flow switching.

Traffic shaping uses queues to limit surges that can congest a network. Data is buffered and then sent into the network in regulated amounts to ensure that traffic will fit within the promised traffic envelope for the particular connection.

The traffic-shape group command allows you to specify one or more previously defined access list to shape traffic on the interface. You must specify one traffic-shape group command for each access list on the interface.

The traffic-shape group command supports both standard and extended access lists.

Use traffic shaping if you have a network with differing access rates or if you are offering a subrate service. You can configure the values according to your contract with your service provider or the service levels you intend to maintain.

An interval is calculated as follows:

If the burst-size is not equal to zero, the interval is the burst-size divided by the bit-rate.

If the burst-size is zero, the interval is the excess-burst-size divided by the bit-rate.

Traffic shaping is supported on all media and encapsulation types on the router. To perform traffic shaping on Frame Relay virtual circuits, you can also use the frame-relay traffic-shaping command. For more information on Frame Relay Traffic Shaping, refer to the "Configuring Frame Relay" chapter in the Cisco IOS Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.

If traffic shaping is performed on a Frame Relay network with the traffic-shape rate command, you can also use the traffic-shape adaptive command to specify the minimum bit rate to which the traffic is shaped.

The following example enables traffic that matches access list 101 to be shaped to a certain rate and traffic matching access list 102 to be shaped to another rate on the interface:

interface serial 1
 traffic-shape group 101 128000 16000 8000
 traffic-shape group 102 130000 10000 1000

traffic-shape rate bit-rate [burst-size [excess-burst-size]] [buffer-limit]

no traffic-shape rate

Syntax Description

bit-rate

Bit rate that traffic is shaped to, in bits per second. This is the access bit rate that you contract with your service provider, or the service levels you intend to maintain. Bit rates can be in the range of 8000 to 100000000 bps.

burst-size

(Optional) Sustained number of bits that can be sent per interval. On Frame Relay interfaces, this is the Committed Burst size contracted with your service provider. Valid entries are numbers in the range of 0 to 100000000.

excess-burst-size

(Optional) Maximum number of bits that can exceed the burst size in the first interval in a congestion event. On Frame Relay interfaces, this is the Excess Burst size contracted with your service provider. Valid entries are numbers in the range of 0 to 100000000. The default is equal to the burst-size argument.

buffer-limit

(Optional) Maximum buffer limit in bps. Valid entries are numbers in the range of 0 to 4096.


Defaults

Disabled.

Usage Guidelines

Generic traffic shaping is not supported on ISDN and dialup interfaces. Is is also not supported on nongeneric routing encapsulation tunnel interfaces. Traffic shaping is not supported with flow switching.

Traffic shaping uses queues to limit surges that can congest a network. Data is buffered and then sent into the network in regulated amounts to ensure that traffic will fit within the promised traffic envelope for the particular connection.

Use traffic shaping if you have a network with differing access rates or if you are offering a subrate service. You can configure the values according to your contract with your service provider or the service levels you intend to maintain.

An interval is calculated as follows:

If the burst-size is not equal to zero, the interval is the burst-size divided by the bit-rate.

If the burst-size is zero, the interval is the excess-burst-size divided by the bit-rate.

Traffic shaping is supported on all media and encapsulation types on the router. To perform traffic shaping on Frame Relay virtual circuits, you can also use the frame-relay traffic-shaping command. For more information on Frame Relay Traffic Shaping, refer to the "Configuring Frame Relay" chapter in the Cisco IOS Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.

If traffic shaping is performed on a Frame Relay network with the traffic-shape rate command, you can also use the traffic-shape adaptive command to specify the minimum bit rate to which the traffic is shaped.

Examples

The following example enables traffic shaping on serial interface 0 using the bandwidth required by the service provider:

interface serial 0
 traffic-shape rate 128000 16000 8000

tx-ring-limit

To limit the number of packets that can be used on a transmission ring on the digital subscriber line (DSL) WAN interface card (WIC) or interface, use the tx-ring-limit command in interface configuration mode. To not limit the number of packets that can be used on a transmission ring on a DSL WIC or interface, use the no form of this command.

tx-ring-limit ring-limit

no tx-ring-limit ring-limit

Syntax Description

ring-limit

Specifies the maximum number of allowable packets that can be placed on the transmission ring. Valid entries can be numbers from 1 to 32767. The default value is 60. On a Cisco 2600 or Cisco 3600 series router, the value can be changed to 3. (The only permitted values are 3 or 60.) A transmission (tx) ring setting of 3 is required for latency-critical traffic.


Defaults

The default value of the ring-limit argument is 60.

12.0(9)S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0 S.

12.1(5)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T.


Usage Guidelines

When the buffering is reduced by configuring the tx ring limit, the delay experienced by voice packets is reduced by a combination of the tx ring and low latency queueing (LLQ) mechanism.

This command allows you to reduce the size of the first-in, first-out FIFO queue. Reducing the size of the transmit ring in the queue has two benefits:

It reduces the amount of time packets wait in the FIFO queue before being segmented.

It accelerates the use of quality of service (QoS) in the Cisco IOS software.


Note For the Cisco IOS 12.2(13)T release, the tx-ring-limit command is not supported on the Cisco 1700 series router.


Examples

The following example configures the transmission ring limit to three packets on an ATM interface:

Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# atm pvc 32 0 32 aal5snap 10000 8000 2000 tx-ring-limit 3

The following example configures the transmission ring limit to 60 packets on an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) subinterface:

Router(config)# interface ATM1/0/0.1 point-to-point
Router(config-subif)# pvc 2/200
Router(config-if-atm-vc)# tx-ring-limit 60
