Total Queue Size | Total queue size in Bytes. |
|
Service Name | The names of the service types defined in the service template. A service template can define different levels of service types to handle excess traffic. The relationship between first-level and second-level service types varies according to service template. | Cannot be modified when applying a service template override. |
DSCP value | Differentiated Service Code Point values. These values are set in the IP header and are used to color the packets for scheduling. | Cannot be modified. |
Transmit Factor | The amount of bandwidth reserved for each service level in Kbits/sec. The total reserved bandwidth for all service types must equal 100% of the bandwidth. | Transmit Factor values must always total 100%. When you edit one of these values for a service type, QPM-COPS adjusts the value of the Best Effort factor to preserve a total of 100%. When this is not possible, a message is displayed. When a service type has a second-level service type for excess traffic, the bandwidth factor for both service types is defined by the first-level service type. The bandwidth factor for the second-level service type is not included in the total and cannot be edited. |
Buffer Factor | The amount, in Kbits, of reserved packets in the buffer for each service level, when there is congestion. This determines the relative priorities for discarding packets. | Transmit Factor and Buffer Factor values must always total 100%.

The buffer factor for the second-level service type is not included in the total and cannot be edited. |
