Approach
What is the motivation for this PR?
It was observed that control packets use queue 0 in TD2 platforms which can lead to these packets being lost when link utilization becomes close to 100%. This can lead to critical issues in field like BGP keepalive failures. This management test is a way to make sure that this doesn't happen again in production.
How did you do it?
By bringing up BGP sessions with neighbors and making sure that BGP control traffic uses queue 7 by default using "show queue counters".
How did you verify/test it?
By running the test and making sure that it works as expected, reporting success or failure depending on which queues are used by control packets.
Any platform specific information?
This is applicable to all platforms.
Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
