The solution is to per class define max queue size, so user with fewer
queues configured will not use all available buffer in remaining queues.
JNPR MX is happy to buffer >4s on 10GE on QX interfaces. Reading some posts
on this thread seems to imply vendor is not knowing what they are doing,
but in this case there is good reason why there is potentially lot of
buffer space and it's simply operator mistake not to limit it if
application is just single class in single vlan/untagged 10G interface
