4.1.2 Transmit queue length specification

You can change the send queue length on the Switch to fit the network configuration and operation mode. The number of frames that can be queued in a queue is called the send queue length. If a frame is stored in multiple buffers, the first buffer can contain up to 144 bytes, and the second and subsequent buffers can contain up to 208 bytes. One buffer can contain only one frame. To change the send queue length, use the limit-queue-length configuration command. Increasing the send queue length can reduce queue overflows caused by burst traffic. Note that the specified send queue length is in effect for all Ethernet interfaces on the Switch.

If you do not specify the send queue length, a queue length of 2880 is used.

Table 4-1: Relationship between send queue lengths and operation purposes

Send queue length	Purpose
2880	When the load on each queue is equal, specify this value to enable send control.
24272 #	Specify this value to reduce queue overflows caused by burst traffic.
