This read-create object defines the weight assigned to a shared queue for distributing committed information rate (CIR) bandwidth when multiple queues compete for available CIR on Alcatel 7x50 systems. Higher weights give a queue greater priority in accessing CIR resources when traffic is conforming to contract rates. Network engineers configure this to implement fair-queue or weighted fair-queueing discipline, ensuring bandwidth allocation aligns with service level agreements and traffic priorities.
