Hi Carl,

There is no direct command that shows the packets going in the priority queue. However we can get a picture by the following outputs:

switch# sh mls qos int gi x/y statistics

Find out the marking of the traffic supposed to go to priority queue and check if the corresponding counters are incrementing for " dscp: outgoing"

Once you find the counters incrementing, check which queue is the corresponding dscp mapped to:

switch#sh mls qos maps dscp-output-q

  Dscp-outputq-threshold map:

     d1 :d2    0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     9

     ------------------------------------------------------------

      0 :    02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01

      1 :    02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 02-01 03-01 03-01 03-01 03-01

      2 :    03-01 03-01 03-01 03-01 03-01 03-01 03-01 03-01 03-01 03-01

      3 :    03-01 03-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01

      4 :    01-01 01-01 01-01 01-01 01-01 01-01 01-01 01-01 04-01 04-01

      5 :    04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01

      6 :    04-01 04-01 04-01 04-01

For eg, if you have voice traffic which is supposed to go to priority queue, make sure counters for 'dscp: outgoing' are incrementing against 46.(first command). Next check the map, and ensure that dscp 46 is mapped to queue 1 (priority queue on 2960).

Hope this helps,

Shashank
