Class CIM_PacketSchedulingService
extends CIM_ForwardingService

This class represents the scheduling service, which is a process that determines whether a queued packet should be removed from a queue and sent to an output interface. Note that output interfaces can be physical network interfaces or interfaces to components internal to systems, such as crossbars or backplanes. In either case, if multiple queues are involved, schedulers are used to provide access to the interface. Each instance of a PacketSchedulingService describes a scheduler from the perspective of the queue that the scheduler is servicing. One can describe that different schedulers support different queues, or that a scheduler supports several queues. PacketSchedulingService is modeled as a sibling service to ConditioningService. Both are derived from a common root, ForwardingService.

DescriptionstringThis string property is used in conjunction with the SchedulerType property. When the value of SchedulerType is 1 (e.g., Other), then the type of metric to be used is defined in this attribute. None TRANSLATABLE= true

SchedulerTypeuint16
DescriptionstringThis property is an enumerated 16-bit unsigned integer, and defines the type of scheduler. Values are: 1: Other 2: FIFO 3: Priority 4: Bandwidth 5: Priority Bandwidth 6: Round Robin Packet 7: Weighted Round Robin Packet. Note: The SchedulerType property and the SchedulerService subclasses provide similar information. This property is defined for query purposes and to not require a subclass for all types of SchedulerServices (for example, to describe a FIFO Scheduler in today's model). Therefore, SchedulerService can be instantiated directly and the Type property is needed.None TRANSLATABLE= true
