If the link is such a high speed, why use wfq or anything else other than fifo, if, as we have been saying, it takes to long to process and pritorize the packet at that high of a speed? The only time I know of to use a specialized queueing at high speeds is if you have lets say a t3 that comes into a router and the other end is a T1 or a Gig backbone that comes into a Catalyst and the other ports are 10/100. Then you need queueing. But other than that I can't think of a reason you need queueing in a diffserv environment. It takes too long. --
