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.
