# Class CIM_HeadTailDropper
extends CIM_DropperService

HeadTailDropper describes the threshold information of a head or tail dropper. The inherited property DropFrom indicates whether a particular instance of this class is a head dropper or a tail dropper. A head dropper always examines the same queue from which it drops packets, and this queue is always related to the dropper as the following service in the NextService association.

QueueThreshold | uint32 |
Description | string | This is an unsigned 32-bit integer that indicates the queue depth (in bytes) at which traffic is dropped. For a tail dropper, all newly arriving traffic is dropped. For a head dropper, packets at the front of the queue are dropped to make room for new packets, which are added at the end.
