When setting up queues as I have done above with different weights they = (the queues) will share the assigned pipe proportionate to their weight. For example if you had traffic on all three queues, the A&B(1), C&D(2), = and E&F(3); they would get 10/16, 5/16, and 1/16 of the pipe, respectively. But, what if A&B(1) had no traffic? It is my understanding that queue 2 = and 3 would still only get 5/16 and 1/16 of the pipe regardless. In this example, 3/8 or 375Kb/s total. Or would 2 and 3 share the whole pipe if queue 1 is inactive, which would make my questions moot? What I am trying to accomplish here is to give a greater amount of = bandwidth between 2 ip's when they are active. But they are hardly ever active = and therefore I want the rest of the network to use the whole pipe until = they become active. Any comments and particularly suggestions are appreciated. If I'm = entirely wrong with my presumptions mention that too. :) Best, =20 Thomas S.
