CISCO-QUEUE-MIB by vendor Cisco

CISCO-QUEUE-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

    DESCRIPTION
	"This table contains objects that describe the queues on a
	Cisco Interface.

	An interface queue is modeled as a collection of one or more
	secondary queues that feed into a device's hardware queue. The
	hardware queue has a maximum depth set by the MCI tx-queue-limit
	command or equivalent. The secondary queues (also known as the
	'hold queue') have maximum depths set by the hold-queue command
	or equivalent.

	This table parallels the ifTable, and indicates the type of
	queuing in use on the interface, number of queues, and similar

cQIfQType OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      CQAlgorithm
    MAX-ACCESS  read-only
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
	"The type of queuing used in the Hold Queue.

	First In First Out Queuing implies that the interface always
	transmits messages in the order that they are received.

	Priority Queuing sorts messages out by the use of access lists.
	Messages in a higher priority queue are always sent in
	preference to messages in a lower priority queue.

	Custom Queuing sorts messages out by the use of access lists.
	Sub-queues are selected in round robin order as either the
	sub-queue is drained or a given number of octets is moved from
	the sub-queue to the transmission queue.

	Weighted Fair Queuing sorts messages by 'conversation', which
	is source-destination pair of addresses and sockets or ports,
	as defined by the network layer protocol. Messages are removed
	from queues in a sequence that gives each conversation a
	proportion of the available bandwidth."
