1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.12.23.5.4.2.10.1.4
This attribute specifies the congestion behavior of all ports on this
FP. It applies only to transmit traffic and does not apply to the CBR
service category.
When the value is aggregate, the enqueue decision of cells or
frames to a queue is based upon the congestion state of the entire
port to which the queue belongs. A port is defined to be as
congested as the most congested queue amongst all its queues.
Thus, for example, if a nrtVBR queue is congested, the rtVBR
queue also experiences discards even though the rtVBR queue may
itself not be congested. Setting this attribute to aggregate assures
that the low priority queues are also serviced in the event of
congestion. If this attribute is set to aggregate then rtVBR must not
be configured to do common queueing and its emissionPriority
should be set to a number numerically smaller than or equal to 3.
Another impact of setting this attribute to aggregate is that the per
connection queue limits for nrtVBR and UBR connections will be
increased to the link pool size and their discard thresholds will be
modified to be aligned with the free list discard thresholds.
When the value of this attribute is set to individualQueue,
the enqueue decision of cells or frames to a queue is based solely
upon the congestion state of that queue, not the port. This setting
assures that the absolute priority of the traffic is taken into account,
regardless of whether the lower priority queues are being served. On
3pOC3SmAtm2 and 3pOC3MmAtm2 cards, if more than one
override component exists, they must have the same setting for this
attribute. Otherwise, setting the attribute under one override
component applies to the entire card.
