This parameter configures the relative weight used by the packet scheduler when distributing bandwidth up to the Committed Information Rate (CIR) limit of a virtual scheduler queue, allowing proportional sharing of guaranteed bandwidth among multiple competing queues. Queues with higher weight values receive a larger share of the CIR; for example, a queue with weight 2 receives twice the guaranteed bandwidth of a queue with weight 1. A QoS engineer uses this weight to enforce service level agreements by ensuring each traffic class gets its fair proportion of committed bandwidth during congestion.
