# Class CIM_PrioritySchedulingElement
extends CIM_SchedulingElement

This class is a subclass of the abstract class SchedulingElement. It indicates that a scheduler is taking packets from a set of inputs using the priority scheduling discipline. As is the case with all subclasses of SchedulingElement, the input associated with an instance of PrioritySchedulingElement is of one of two types: either a queue, or another scheduler. The Priority property represents the priority for an input, relative to the priorities of all the other inputs to which the scheduler (that aggregates this PrioritySchedulingElement) is associated. Inputs to which the scheduler is related via other scheduling disciplines do not figure in this prioritization. Because scheduling of this type is always work conserving, the inherited boolean property, WorkConserving, is restricted to TRUE in this class.

Name | Data Type | Value
Priority | uint16 |
Description | string | A 16-bit unsigned integer indicating the priority level of this SchedulingElement's input, relative to the other inputs serviced by the SchedulingElement's aggregating PacketSchedulingService. A larger value represents a higher priority.
WorkConserving | boolean | true
Description | string | A boolean property indicating whether the PacketSchedulingService tied to this instance (by the ElementInSchedulingService aggregation) is treating the queue/input tied to this instance, in a work-conserving manner. The queue/input is indicated by either the QueueToSchedule or SchedulingServiceToSchedule association. Note that this property is writeable, indicating that an administrator can change the behavior of the SchedulingElement - but only for those elements that can operate in a non-work conserving mode.
