• Create a basic QoS policy

Basic Quality of Service Lab

Configure QoS policies to achieve the following:

Most traffic ingressing on SAP 1/1/1 on VPLS Service XXX should pass through the 7750
unshaped and enter the MPLS network core with a forwarding class of EF.

Web traffic (going from the customer to the web needs to be shaped to a maximum rate of
20Mb/s. The first 10Mb/s of Web traffic should egress the node into the MPLS core network
with a QoS FC = BE in-profile, the remainder of the Web traffic should exit with FC = BE
out-ot-profile.

The following steps assume a working VPLS Service (ID of XXX) on your node.

1. Display the settings for SAP QoS ingress policy 1 (default policy).

SR# show qos sap-ingress 1 ↵

Note: The default qos ingress policy classifies all incoming traffic as FC “BE” regardless of
the settings of any DSCP, 802.1p bits etc.

Sap ingress traffic can be classified into one of eight internal forwarding classes (FC)
based on several match criteria (MAC, 802.1p, or L3-L7).

All traffic is marked internally as having come from a SAP or network port.

2. Display the settings for the default SAP ingress and network policies.

SR# configure qos ↵

SR>config>qos# info detail ↵

Note: By default all incoming traffic is classified as BE out-of-profile.

Default queue settings: PIR(rate) = MAX and CIR = 0

3. Create a new SAP ingress policy, policy #10. The default SAP ingress QoS policy
(#1) has two queues associated with it, Queue 1 (unicast) and Queue 11
(multipoint). We will be creating two new queues, queues 2 and 3.

4. Create new queues for your SAP ingress policy.

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress$ queue 2 create ↵

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>queue$ rate 20000 cir 10000 ↵

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>queue$ back ↵

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress$ queue 3 create ↵

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress# info ↵

description "Web Traffic Ingress QoS Policy"

queue 1 create
exit
queue 2 create
exit
queue 3 create
exit
queue 11 multipoint create
exit

5. Create a QoS traffic filter to separate incoming Web traffic from other traffic.

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress# ip-criteria ↵

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>ip-criteria# entry 10 create ↵

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>ip-criteria>entry$ description

www_ingress_filter ↵

Note: use IP criteria to identify the web traffic going to a web server.

Note: Protocol 6 identifies TCP in the protocol field of the Ip header

Port 80 is HTTP at the application layer.

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>ip-criteria>entry$ match protocol 6

dst-port eq 80 ↵

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>ip-criteria>entry$ info ↵

description "www_ingress_filter"

Note: mark all ingress web traffic as best effort.

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>ip-criteria>entry$ action fc be ↵

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>ip-criteria>entry$ info ↵

description "www_ingress_filter"
match protocol 6
dst-port eq 80
exit
action fc be

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress>ip-criteria# back ↵

Note: set the default FC mapping for traffic that does not match your IP criteria for web
traffic.

SR>config>qos>sap-ingress# default-fc ef ↵

6. Configure the FC to queue mappings.

7. Create a SAP egress policy

SR# configure qos sap-egress 11 create ↵

SR>conf>qos>sap-egress$ description “QoS Egress Traffic”

SR>conf>qos>sap-egress$ queue 4 create ↵

SR>conf>qos>sap-egress>queue$ rate 20000 cir 10000 ↵

SR>conf>qos>sap-egress>queue$ back ↵

SR>conf>qos>sap-egress$ fc be create ↵

SR>conf>qos>sap-egress>fc$ queue 4 ↵

SR>conf>qos>sap-egress>fc$ exit all ↵

7. Apply your SAP policies to the SAP on port 1/1/1/ for VPLS Service XXX.

SR# configure service vpls XXX ↵

SR>config>service>vpls# sap 1/1/1 ↵

SR>config>service>vpls>sap# ingress qos 10 ↵

SR>config>service>vpls>sap# egress qos 11 ↵

SR>config>service>vpls>sap# exit ↵

SR>config>service>vpls# exit all ↵

8. Remap the in-profile Web traffic from the BE queue to an MPLS EXP value of 5 in
the MPLS header. This EXP value identifies in-profile Web traffic leaving the node
from Queue 2 on a network egress interface.
