Package vs

The XML API OSS interface uses the vs package to create virtual schedulers. Virtual schedulers can be created within the context of a hierarchical scheduler policy. A hierarchical scheduler policy defines the hierarchy and parameters for each scheduler. A scheduler is defined in the context of a tier. The tier level determines the scheduler's position in the hierarchy. Three tiers of virtual schedulers are supported, as shown in the following diagram. Tier 1 schedulers are defined without a parent scheduler. A scheduler can enforce a maximum rate of operation for all child queues and associated schedulers.
