A. Yes, CBWFQ allows you to define a class of traffic and assign it a minimum bandwidth guarantee. The algorithm behind this mechanism is weighted fair queuing (WFQ), which explains the name. You define specific classes in map-class statements in order to configure CBWFQ. Then you assign a policy to each class in a policy-map. This policy-map is then attached to the inbound/outbound of an interface.
