Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio

The Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio feature allows service providers to configure a bandwidth-remaining ratio on subinterfaces and class queues. This ratio specifies the relative weight of a subinterface or queue with respect to other subinterfaces or queues. During congestion, the router uses this bandwidth-remaining ratio to determine the amount of excess bandwidth (unused by priority traffic) to allocate to a class of nonpriority traffic. The router allocates excess bandwidth relative to the other subinterface-level queues and class queues configured on the physical interface. By administration of a bandwidth-remaining ratio, traffic priority is not based solely on speed. Instead, the service provider can base priority on alternative factors such as service product and subscription rate.

Prerequisites for Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio

Before enabling the Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio feature, create as many traffic classes as you need by using the class-map command.

Restrictions for Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio

  • Bandwidth-remaining ratios can be used on outbound interfaces only.
  • The bandwidth remaining ratio command cannot coexist with another bandwidth command in different traffic classes of the same policy map. For example, the following configuration is not valid and causes an error message to display: 
policy-map Prec1
 class precedence_0
  bandwidth remaining ratio 10
 class precedence_2
  bandwidth 1000
  • The bandwidth remaining ratio command cannot coexist with another bandwidth command in the same class. For example, the following configuration is not valid and causes an error message to display: 
policy-map Prec1
 class precedence_0
  bandwidth 1000
  bandwidth remaining ratio 10
  • The bandwidth remaining ratio command cannot coexist with the priority command in the same class. For example, the following configuration is not valid and causes an error message to display: 
policy-map Prec1
 class precedence_1
  priority percent 10
  bandwidth remaining ratio 10

Information About Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio

Benefits of the Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio Feature

The Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio feature allows service providers to prioritize subscriber traffic during periods of congestion. A bandwidth-remaining ratio is used to influence how the router allocates excess bandwidth (unused by priority traffic) to a class of nonpriority traffic. Instead of using only bandwidth rate, the router considers configured minimum bandwidth rates, maximum bandwidth rates, and bandwidth-remaining ratios when determining excess bandwidth allocation. A bandwidth-remaining ratio adds more flexibility in prioritizing traffic and enables you to influence excess bandwidth allocation by basing the bandwidth-remaining ratio on factors other than speed.

With bandwidth-remaining ratios, service providers have more flexibility in assigning priority to subinterfaces and queues during congestion. In addition to speed, you can base the bandwidth-remaining ratio on alternative factors, such as a service product or subscription rate. In this way, for example, you can give higher weight to subinterfaces that carry business services and lower weight to subinterfaces that carry residential services.

Bandwidth-Remaining Ratio Functionality

A bandwidth-remaining ratio, specified by the bandwidth remaining ratio command, is a value from 1 to 1000 that is used to determine the amount of unused (excess) bandwidth to allocate to a class-level queue or subinterface-level queue during congestion. The router allocates the excess bandwidth relative to the other class-level queues and subinterface-level queues configured on the physical interface. The bandwidth-remaining ratio value does not indicate a percentage. As the name implies, a ratio is used. For example, a subinterface with a bandwidth-remaining ratio of 100 receives 10 times the unused (excess) bandwidth during congestion than a subinterface with a bandwidth-remaining ratio of 10.

Without bandwidth-remaining ratios, the queueing mechanism or scheduler on the router allocates unused (excess) bandwidth equally among the classes or subinterfaces.

With bandwidth-remaining ratios, unused (excess) bandwidth allocation can be based on factors other than the bandwidth rate (for example, the service product or the subscription rate).

Using the bandwidth remaining ratio command, the bandwidth-remaining ratio can be configured differently on each subinterface or class. The bandwidth-remaining ratio can range from 1 to 1000. For example, if there are three subscribers, and the bandwidth-remaining ratios are configured as 9, 7, and 1, and if after priority traffic is served, there are 1700 kbps of excess bandwidth, the subscribers get 900 kbps, 700 kbps, and 100 kbps, respectively.

How to Configure Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio

You can apply bandwidth-remaining ratios to subinterfaces and/or classes queues.

      Configuration Examples for Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio

      Example Configuring Bandwidth-Remaining Ratios on Ethernet Subinterfaces

      The following example shows how to configure bandwidth-remaining ratios on an Ethernet subinterface using a hierarchical policy. In the example, Gigabit Ethernet subinterface 1/0/0.1 is shaped to 100 Mbps. During congestion, the router uses the bandwidth-remaining ratio of 10 to determine the amount of excess bandwidth (unused by priority traffic) to allocate to the nonpriority traffic on subinterface 1/0/0.1, relative to the other subinterface-level and class-level queues on the interface.

      policy-map Child
 class precedence_0
  bandwidth 10000
 class precedence_1
  shape average 100000
  bandwidth 100
policy-map Parent
 class class-default
  bandwidth remaining ratio 10
  shape average 100000000
  service-policy Child
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/0.1
 encapsulation dot1Q 100
 ip address 10.1.0.1 255.255.255.0
 service-policy output Parent

      Example Verifying Bandwidth-Remaining Ratios on Class Queues

      In the following sample configuration, vlan10_policy is applied on the Gigabit Ethernet subinterface 1/0/0.10 and vlan20_policy is applied on the Gigabit Ethernet subinterface 1/0/0.20. During congestion on the interface, subinterface Gigabit Ethernet 1/0/0.20 has 10 times more available bandwidth than subinterface Gigabit Ethernet 1/0/0.10 because the bandwidth-remaining ratio for subinterface Gigabit Ethernet 1/0/0.20 is 10 times more than the bandwidth-remaining ratio for subinterface 1/0/0.10: 100 on subinterface 1/0/0.20 and 10 on subinterface 1/0/0.10.

      When congestion occurs within a subinterface level, the class queues receive bandwidth according to the class-level bandwidth-remaining ratios. In the example, the bandwidth for classes precedence_0, precedence_1, and precedence_2 is allocated based on the bandwidth-remaining ratios of the classes: 20, 40, and 60, respectively.

      Feature Information

      MQC--Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio

      Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

      The Distribution of Remaining Bandwidth Using Ratio feature allows service providers to configure a bandwidth-remaining ratio on subinterfaces and class queues. This ratio specifies the relative weight of a subinterface or queue with respect to other subinterfaces or queues. During congestion, the router uses this bandwidth-remaining ratio to determine the amount of excess bandwidth (unused by priority traffic) to allocate to a class of nonpriority traffic.

      In Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1, this feature was introduced on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers.

      The following commands were introduced or modified: bandwidth remaining ratio, show policy-map, show policy-map interface.
