Foreword

As the integration of telecom networks, computer networks, and cable

networks progresses, certain new services such as IPTV and VoIP that have
high requirements for delay need to be carried over IP networks. The
emergence of new services poses increasing requirements for the service
capabilities of IP networks. Instead of merely being content with the result that
packets are sent to the destination, users hope to get satisfying service
experiences in this process. For example, users require allocation of
dedicated bandwidth resources, reduction of the packet loss ratio,
management and avoidance of network congestions, control of the network
traffic, and setting of the packet priority levels. All these requirements can be
met only with a stronger service capability of the networks. Quality of Serivce
(QoS) provides different service quality levels for various requirements.

Traffic Classifier and Marking(1/5)

Traffic classifier means to distinguish between data streams by marking a

certain field in an IP packet header according to a certain rule so that the
router can treat data streams of different classes in a different manner.

Traffic classifier is divided into complex traffic classifier and simple traffic
classifier

Complex traffic classifier

This classification mode means to finely classify packets by using complex

rules, such as the information of the integrated link layer, network layer, and
transmission layer (for example, source MAC address, destination MAC
address, source IP address, destination IP address, user group number,
protocol type, and TCP/UDP port number of the application). Complex traffic
classifier is performed on the traffic by using ACL on the border router in the
Diff-Serv domain.

Copyright 2011 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page24

Traffic Classifier and Marking(2/5)

Simple traffic classifier

This classification mode means to use simple rules, for example,

based on only the IP priority or DSCP value of the IP packet, EXP
domain value of the MPLS packet, and 802.1p value of the VLAN
packet, to roughly classify packets and identify traffic with different
priority levels or service class features.

Traffic Policing(1/2)

Traffic policing monitors the specification of a certain traffic volume that enters
into a network, and confines the traffic within an allowed range. If the packet
traffic volume at a certain connection exceeds the range, packets are dropped,
or the priority of the packet is modified.

Traffic policing implements preset actions based on the evaluation result.

These actions include:

Forwardpass: means to continue forwarding packets whose

measurement result is Complied, or re-forward services with the DSCP tag
for Diff-Serv.

Dropdiscard: means to drop packets whose measurement result is Not

complied.

Change priority before forwardingremark: means to modify the priority

of a packet whose measurement result is Not complied before forwarding
the packet.

Traffic Shaping(1/2)

The interface bandwidth difference between upstream and

downstream routers is large, or traffic policing is deployed on the

router at a certain side. In this case, to avoid the router with the
small interface bandwidth from dropping packets, packets on the
router with the large interface bandwidth can be buffered to match
the processing capability of the router with the small interface
bandwidth at an equal speed. This technology is called traffic
shaping.

Generic Traffic Shaping (GTS) can shape irregular traffic or the

traffic that does not match the preset traffic features to ensure
bandwidth matching at network upstream and downstream and
avoid congestion.

Traffic shaping can delay the traffic to avoid a large number of packets from being
dropped, and avoid congestion at the egress. As shown in the preceding figure, RT A is
the egress of the enterprise network, and sends traffic to RTB. RTB deploys traffic
policing on interface S0. To match traffic policing set on RTB, and avoid packets from
being dropped, RTA deploys traffic shaping on S0 to buffer packets, and send packets
at a rate that matches traffic policing set on RTB.

The NE80E or NE40E supports traffic shaping only for packets in the outbound direction on the interface. On the interface,
configure different shaping parameters for the packets that participate in the traffic shaping based on different service
classes (EF, AF1, AF2, AF3, AF4, BE, CS6, or CS7).

Congestion Management

How to manage and control network congestion when it occurs? The

method is to use the queuing technology to place all packets that need to
be sent from an interface into multiple queues and handle the packets
according to the priority of each queue. By using a proper queuing
mechanism, the QoS parameters, such as bandwidth, delay, and jitter, of

packets of a certain type can be guaranteed.

Queues here indicate outgoing queues. The function is to save packets in

queues before the interface can send packets. Therefore, a queuing
mechanism functions when congestion occurs on an outgoing port. The
other function is to re-sort packets (except in FIFO queue).

Priority Queuing(PQ)(3/3)

Advantages of PQ:

Data is forwarded at a low delay. That is, the packets in the lowpriority queues are forwarded only after the packets in the high-priority
queues are forwarded. In this case, the delay in packet forwarding is
low, and key services in the high-priority queues are forwarded.

Disadvantages of PQ:

Each of the four PQ queues uses the FIFO mechanism. That is, each
queue has all the disadvantages of the FIFO queue.

If packets exist in the high-priority queues for a long time, the packets
in the low-priority queues cannot be forwarded during this period.

Advantages of WFQ:

The configuration is simple.

The throughput of all flows can be guaranteed.

Disadvantages of WFQ:

The classification algorithm is complex. Therefore, the processing is

slow.

WFQ cannot guarantee a stable bandwidth for key services. Multiple

low-priority flows consume the bandwidth resources that may be
available to a high-priority flow.

Users cannot define classes.

No fixed bandwidth can be ensured.

Low Priority Queue LPQ

LPQ Feathers

When schedulingthe packets of PQ queue is scheduled at first

then WFQthe last is LPQ. After finished PQ and WFQ
schedulingif bandwidth is left, these bandwidth can be assigned
to LPQ.

The way of scheduling is the same as PQ inside of LPQ. The

difference is PQ can occupy the bandwidth of WFQ when

congestion, while LPQ can not.

In the actual application, the BE flow can be scheduled by LPQ. If

the network is heavy loaded, BE flow can be restricted and so as

to meet the other service at first.

Congestion Avoidance

Excessive congestion poses great threats to network resources,

and needs to be alleviated by taking a certain measure.
Congestion avoidance means to selectively drop packets
according to the queue status before excessive congestion occurs,
thereby improving the QoS performance of congested traffic.

Congestion avoidance is implemented through any of the

following drop mechanisms:

Class-Based QoS

As a new QoS command delivery mode, class-based QoS

classifies traffic according to a certain rule, and associates

the traffic of a type to a certain action to form a certain
policy. This policy is applied on an interface to implement

function such as class-based traffic policing, traffic shaping,

congestion management, and priority remarking. By
consolidating the original QoS commands, class-based QoS

can flexibly distinguish between user services, implement

differentiated forwarding, and guarantee the quality of
service.
Copyright 2011 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page72

Implementation Process Overview

Class-based QoS commands are divided into three categories:

traffic classifier identifies packets that comply with a certain feature

by using a certain rule.

traffic behaviora collection of QoS actions on packets.

traffic policycombination of traffic classifier and traffic behavior.

Class-based QoS is implemented by using policies. A QoS policy

associates traffic classifier and traffic behavior. By applying a
policy on an interface, the desired QoS can be provided.

Copyright 2011 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page73

Traffic Classifier(1/2)

For traffic classifier rules, the IP precedence or DSCP value can

be used to identify traffic with different priority levels, or the
network administrator can set traffic classifier rules to classify
traffic based on information such as the source address,
destination address, MAC address, IP protocol, and application
port number. To implement class-based QoS applications on
network traffic, traffic classifier rules must be defined.

The implementation process of traffic classifier is as follows:

Define a name for traffic classifier.

Set the matching rule for the traffic classifier.

Traffic Behavior(1/4)

Traffic behavior indicates action based on traffic classifier.

Traffic behavior includes remarking of packet priority, traffic

policing, traffic shaping, queuing, and congestion avoidance.

The implementation process of traffic behavior is as follows:

Define a behavior name.

Define a traffic behavior.

Traffic Behavior(4/4)

3. Queuing Set the Class of Service (CoS) in Packets

Setting the CoS applies to only upstream packets. Specifying the

CoS and drop precedence of packets allows matched packets to
be placed in corresponding queues. In this case, the router does

not need to look up the BA table according to the precedence

field in the packets to determine the CoS. In addition, the packets
can be transparently transmitted with no need to change the
precedence field in the packet.

EF, BE, CS6, and CS7 packets cannot be re-marked yellow or

red.

Copyright 2011 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page79

Traffic Policy(1/2)

A traffic policy associates traffic classifier with traffic

behavior. After traffic classifier and traffic behavior are

defined, traffic policies need to be configured to associate
defined traffic with actions.

The process of defining a traffic policy is as follows:

Define a policy name

Associate traffic classifier with traffic behavior

Copyright 2011 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page80

Traffic Policy(2/2)

Example of configuring a policy and nesting an action:

[RTA]traffic policy Policy1

[RTA-trafficpolicy-Policy1]classifier classifier-name behavior
behavior-name

[RTA]traffic behavior Behavior1

[RTA-behavior-Behavior1]traffic-policy Policy1

NE routers support policy nesting.

Policy nesting indicates that a QoS policy contains another QoS policy. The
behavior of a parent policy is a sub policy. The behavior of a certain class of traffic

defined by using the traffic classifier command executes the behavior defined in
the parent policy. In addition, the traffic is further classified by the sub policy to
execute the behavior defined in the sub policy. NE routers support only two levels
of policy nesting.

Page81

Applications of Traffic Policies on Interfaces

After traffic policies associate traffic classifier with traffic behavior, you
need to apply the policies on the outbound or inbound direction of an
interface according to the requirements for the policies to take effect.

Apply defined policies on specific interfaces, including the egress

interface and ingress interface. Policies can be applied in the outbound

direction or inbound direction of the interface according to the specific
behavior. For example, traffic policing can be applied in the outbound or
inbound direction, but traffic shaping and rate restriction can be applied

only in the outbound direction of an interface.

QoS Hands-on PracticeTopology

Description

As shown in the figure, interface GE1/0/1 on router A is interconnected with

interface GE1/0/0 on router B. The server and PC can access the Internet
through router A and router B. The IP addresses of the server, PC, and
GE1/0/0 of router A are in the same network segment.

Task
1

Description
Remark the DSCP domain for the packet traffic from the server and PC
sent by interface GE1/0/1 on router A
Remark the DSCP field for the data sent from the server as EF

Remark the DSCP field for the data sent from the PC as AF11
2

Perform traffic control on the packet traffic from the server and PC
received by interface GE1/0/0 on router B as follows
Constrain the packet traffic from the server to 54000 bit/. When the

traffic is lower than 54000 bit/s, the traffic can be normally sent. When
the traffic exceeds 54000 bit/s, set the priority level of the extra traffic
to 0 before sending the extra traffic
Constrain the packet traffic from the PC to 8000 bit/s. When the traffic

is lower than 8000 bit/s, the traffic can be normally sent. When the
burst traffic size exceeds 15000 bit/s, the extra traffic is dropped

Configuration Tasks(2/2)
Task
3

Description
The packet receiving and sending on GE1/0/0 and GE1/0/1 on router B must meet
the following requirements:

The total traffic restriction for packet receiving at GE1/0/0 on router B is 500
kbit/s. Extra traffic is dropped as incompliant packets.

The restriction on packet traffic that enters into the Internet through GE1/0/1
on router B is 1000 kbit/s. Extra traffic is dropped as incompliant packets.

If GE1/0/1 on router B encounters congestion, certain bandwidth resources must

be allocated to the data from the server, and the delay and jitter must be ensured

Packet traffic sent by GE1/0/1 on router B is divided into two classes

according to the DSCP field of the IP packets, and QoS policies must be
configured:

Implement AF for traffic whose DSCP field is AF. Ensure that the
minimum bandwidth is 5%
Implement EF for traffic whose DSCP field is EF. Ensure that the
minimum bandwidth is 30%.
