QoS - Policy-Map order of operation?

[anowell]

If I have a policy-map that uses 10 different classes but my "priority" class is located at the bottom, is it still scheduled first within an interval?  I would assume it is, but I'm confused because I know that policy-maps are processed in a top-down fashion like an ACL.

Thank you!

That curious.  I only recall always seeing LLQ classes listed before all non-LLQ classes, and the default class, if explicitly listed, listed last.

What platform and IOS?

Thanks for the help!

I've haven't looked, but I would presume that a fairly new IOS version.  Maybe it's a "feature".  Or, perhaps, as it's a "T" train, a bug.

Do the corresponding manuals mention anything?

I have this same question. If the LLQ class is below the non-LLQ class is the priority queue handle first on a serial interface?

[Joseph W. Doherty]

LLQ should be dequeued before any other class.

[chrishill.work]

Regardless of the order of the classes in a policy map. Meaning if the LLQ is below a NON-LLQ in the POlicy Map order...the LLQ should be processed first?

[Joseph W. Doherty]

Correct.

BTW, I believe I seen some platforms list LLQ policy classes first, regardless how they were entered.  (Likewise, default class, if explicitly defined, is listed last.)
