+Quality of service
+==================
+
+octeontx2 silicon and CN10K transmit interface consists of five transmit levels starting from SMQ/MDQ, TL4 to TL1.
+The hardware uses the below algorithms depending on the priority of scheduler queues
+
+1. Strict Priority
+
+      -  Once packets are submitted to MDQ, hardware picks all active MDQs having different priority
+         using strict priority.
+
+2. Round Robin
+
+      - Active MDQs having the same priority level are chosen using round robin.
+
+3. Each packet will traverse MDQ, TL4 to TL1 levels. Each level contains an array of queues to support scheduling and
+   shaping.
+
+4. once the user creates tc classes with different priority
+
+   -  Driver configures schedulers allocated to the class with specified priority along with rate-limiting configuration.
+
+5. Enable HW TC offload on the interface::
+
+        # ethtool -K <interface> hw-tc-offload on
+
+6. Crate htb root::
+
+        # tc qdisc add dev <interface> clsact
+        # tc qdisc replace dev <interface> root handle 1: htb offload
+
+7. Create tc classes with different  priorities::
+
+        # tc class add dev <interface> parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 10Gbit prio 1
+
+        # tc class add dev <interface> parent 1: classid 1:2 htb rate 10Gbit prio 7
