Cisco IOS supports the following queuing methods:
1. Weighted fair-queuing: This is an automatic queuing method that provides fair    bandwidth to all network traffic. 
2. Priority queuing: In this type of queuing, one particular type of traffic is given priority over all other types of traffic. Thus this particular traffic, for which priority is given is assured of getting through. All other types of traffic may not get through in a timely manner.
