Transmit queues are logical partitions of an Ethernet port¡¯s egress bandwidth. Data streams are assigned to queues based on their traffic class, then sent as scheduled by port and transmit settings. Sand platform switches have eight queues, 0 through 7, and all queues are exposed through the CLI. However, queue 7 is not user-configurable. Queue 7 is always mapped to traffic class 7, which is reserved for control plane traffic. This feature allows tx-queue 7 to be configurable. As of 4.33.0F, a limited set of features are configurable on tx-queue 7.
