queue size is always 0 on sh interface

Hello All, 
I am using cisco c9200 catalyst, I have traffic in this router 20000 frame/second and my bandwidth can handle 12500 frame/second my frames are 1000bytes, I am seeing almost 0.1s for end-to-end delay and 37.5% as loss. 
i expect to see changes in delay and loss when i change the queue-sizes by the cmd hold-queue X out but this has zero impact on the output

I thought I had mentioned, in your other posting, good chance the interface hold-queue # out command is meaningless on a C9K switch.  You would need to adjust your buffer limits.

You might review:

Cisco Catalyst 9000 Switching Platforms: QoS and Queuing White Paper 

Understand Output Drops on Catalyst 9000 Switches 

Troubleshoot Output Drops on Catalyst 9000 Switches 

BTW, if the above seems like a lot of material, it is, but at least Cisco much, much better documents this subject than they did years ago.
