H.QoS
Service Assured Access with
Sophisticated Traffic Management

Agenda
Hierarchical
Scheduling & Queue
Management
to ensure minimal
latency and jitter
Shaping
to smooth out bursts
and avoid buffer
overruns in subsequent
network elements
1. Classification
User traffic is classified into flows based on the following criteria:
VLAN ID
802.1p
DSCP
IP precedence
EtherType
MAC address
IP address
Combinations
User

A combination of scheduling
techniques: SP, WFQ
Special queue management tools
(e.g., WRED) are used to avoid
queue starvation

4. Shaping
Shaping smoothens out bursts and
avoids buffer overruns in the network
Ensures that the overall traffic volume
from each block/EVC does not exceed
a preset bandwidth value
Shaping is performed according to the
accumulated CIR values of all the flows
mapped to the relevant queue block +
a certain allowance of excess rate to
avoid congestion

Conclusion
To meet SLA requirements, Ethernet service providers must implement
H.QoS capabilities in their service demarc devices
A standard set of H.QoS capabilities includes classification, metering &
policing, hierarchical scheduling, shaping and packet editing
H.QoS can be used for TCO reduction, service differentiation and
improved customer experience
RADs award winning Carrier Ethernet demarcation and aggregation
solutions feature the most advanced H.QoS techniques
