Information About Any Transport over MPLS (AToM): Layer 2 QoS (Quality of Service)

Policing and shaping Layer 2 VPN traffic at the MPLS imposition and disposition interfaces permits the Service Provider to offer service level agreements (SLAs) to customers in terms that include bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet-loss guarantees. At imposition, Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or Ethernet QoS markers are mapped to MPLS experimental bits. The traffic can be classified by the MPLS experimental bit, then policed and shaped on the provider interfaces. For traffic traversing the Cisco 12000 Series Router, Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) congestion management and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) congestion avoidance are now supported for MPLS packets with Layer 2 VPN payloads. Because packet queuing characteristics vary among the Cisco 12000 Series line cards, MDRR and WRED configurations can vary with the line card combinations used for MPLS imposition and disposition interfaces. Table 1 displays a summary of the Layer 2 QoS features introduced in Cisco Release 12.0(32)S, as well as those supported in previous Cisco IOS releases.

Layer 2 QoS features supported by the Cisco 12000 Series router and line cards for Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S are as follows:

How to Configure MDRR and WRED

For configuration overview information on MDRR for the Cisco 12000 Series line cards, see Understanding and Configuring MDRR/WRED on the Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/mdrr_wred_overview.html

For WRED legacy CLI configuration information, examples, and command descriptions, see
Weighted Random Early Detection on the Cisco 12000 Series Router at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios112/ios112p/gsr/wred_gs.htm

On the ToFab (Rx) side of the Cisco 12000 Series routers, you must use the legacy QoS CLI and the Modular Quality of Service CLI (MQC) configuration on the FrFab (Tx) side. The QoS policy for ToFab or the FrFab side can be applied on imposition and disposition routers.

On the ToFab side, the QoS policy is constructed based on the MPLS experimental bits. The keyword precedence implies EXP bits for MPLS packets, which covers AToM packets as well on the imposition Rx card. The correct output queue (OQ) or local output queue (LOQ) value is selected and a different WRED profile is applied based on the experimental bit settings.

On the FrFab side for imposition, QoS policy can be constructed using MQC to match on EXP bits. On the FrFab side for disposition, EXP value is conveyed to the Tx line card by the qos-group ID/discard-class and QoS policy can be constructed using MQC to match on qos-group ID bits to select the OQ/LOQ and discard-class to select WRED profile. This functionality is used to achieve egress shaping on EXP values. The QoS policy is created on a source-slot/destination-slot table basis.

Configuring WDRR and WRED with the Legacy CLI Configuration: Example
rx-cos-slot 0 slot0
slot-table-cos slot0
destination-slot 1 slot0-to-slot1
cos-queue-group slot0-to-slot1
precedence 0 queue low-latency
precedence 1 queue 1
precedence 1 random-detect-label 1
precedence 2 queue 2
precedence 2 random-detect-label 2
precedence 3 queue 3
precedence 3 random-detect-label 3
random-detect-label 1 100 200 1
random-detect-label 2 200 300 1
random-detect-label 3 300 400 1
queue 0 20
queue 1 20
queue 2 30
queue 3 30

How to Configure Traffic Policing and Shaping for Frame Relay over MPLS

Configuring FRoMPLS Two-rate Three-color Policer

Table 2 displays the FroMPLS policer options supported in Release 12.0(32)S.

See Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Command Reference, Release 12.3 at the following URL for further information on police policy-map configuration commands:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123cgcr/qos_r/index.htm

Table 2 FRoMPLS Policer Commands for Layer 2 VPN in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S

Supported Policer Commands, Options, or Actions

Details

police cir percent percentage [burst-in-ms] [bc conform-burst-in-msec ms] [be peak-burst-in-msec ms] [ pir percent percent]

Configures traffic policing on the basis of the specified bandwidth percentage and optional burst sizes. Percentage-based policing and shaping is supported as in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(28)S.

police {cir cir} [bc conform-burst] {pir pir} [be peak-burst] [conform-action action [exceed-action action [violate-action action]]]

Two-rate traffic policer policy-map configuration command.

exceed-action drop

This option causes the router to discard packets that are received at a rate exceeding the committed information rate and less than or equal to the peak information rate (PIR).

exceed-action transmit

This option causes the router to transmit packets that are received at a rate exceeding the committed information rate and less than or equal to the peak information rate (PIR).

set-mpls-exp-transmit value

This action is a conform-action and exceed-action option for the Two-rate Three-color policer. The set-mpls-exp-transmit option sets the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental bits from 0 to 7 and sends the packet with the new MPLS experimental bit value setting. This option can be used with set-frde-transmit in multiple action mode.

set-frde-transmit

This action is a conform-action and exceed-action option for the Two-rate Three-color policer. The set-frde-transmit policing action option sets the Frame Relay discard eligible (DE) bit from 0 to 1 on the Frame Relay frame then transmits that packet. In congested environments, frames with the DE bit set to 1 are discarded before frames with the DE bit set to 0. This option can be used with set-mpls-exp-transmit in multiple action mode.

violate-action drop

Causes the router to discard packets that are received at a rate exceeding the peak information rate (PIR).

Cisco IOS 12.0(30)S introduced support for the following Two-rate, Three-color policer in color-aware mode for FRoMPLS, with matching on Frame Relay discard eligible bit (match fr-de) as a color:

police {cir cir} [bc conform-burst] {pir pir} [be peak-burst] [conform-action action [exceed-action action [violate-action action]]]

The set-frde-transmit and set-mpls-exp-transmit value options can be used in multiple action mode.

The color-blind version of the Three-color policer was supported for Layer 2 VPNs in earlier Cisco IOS releases.

For further information on Two-rate, Three-color policers see QoS: Color-Aware Policer at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120limit/120s/120s26/12s_cap.htm

For further information on multiple actions policing, see Policer Enhancement — Multiple Actions at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122t/122t8/ftpolenh.htm

Restrictions

Two-rate three-color color-blind policer is supported on Cisco 12000 Series line card with Engines 0, 2, 3 or 5 (ISE). Two-rate three-color color-aware policer is supported on Cisco 12000 Series line card with Engines 3 or 5 (ISE).

Two-rate Three-color Color-blind Policer: Example

The following color-blind configuration fragment sets the DE bit to 1 for packets in flows that exceed the committed information rate (CIR) but are less than or equal to the peak information rate (PIR). Packets in flows that exceed the PIR are discarded:
Router(config-pmap-c)# police cir 64000 bc 10000 pir 128000 be 20000 conform-action 
transmit exceed-action set-frde-transmit violate drop
Two-rate Three-color Color-blind Policer with Multiple Actions: Example

The following color-blind, multi-action configuration example sets the DE bit to 1 and the MPLS experimental value to 5 for packets in flows that exceed the committed information rate (CIR) but are less than or equal to the peak information rate (PIR). Packets in flows that exceed the PIR are discarded:
Router(config-pmap-c)# Police cir 64000 pir 128000
Router(config-pmap-c-police)# conform-action transmit
Router(config-pmap-c-police)# exceed-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 5
Router(config-pmap-c-police)# exceed-action set-frde-transmit
Router(config-pmap-c-police)# violate-action drop
Two-rate Three-color Color-aware Policer with Multiple Actions: Example

The following color-aware configuration fragment demonstrates the use of the discard eligibility bit as a color:
Router(config)# class-map frde_class
Router(config-cmap)# match fr-de
Router(config)# class-map no_frde_class
Router(config-cmap)# match not fr-de
Router (config)# policy-map color-aware-fr 
Router(config-pmap)# class kulur-awhere
Router(config-pmap-c)# police cir 64000  bc 10000 pir 128000 be 20000 
Router(config-pmap-c-police)# conform-color no_frde_class exceed-color 
frde-class
Router(config-pmap-c-police)# conform-action transmit  
Router(config-pmap-c-police)# exceed-action set-frde-transmit 
Router(config-pmap-c-police)# violate-action drop 
Configuring FRoMPLS Traffic Shaping

In general Frame Relay allows two types of traffic shaping: Generic Traffic Shaping (GTS) and Frame-relay Traffic Shaping (FRTS). For FRoMPLS, GTS per-class disposition shaping and per-class imposition shaping are supported. Beginning with Engine 5, per-DLCI egress shaping also is supported.

The following sections on traffic shaping relate only to Cisco 12000 Series ISE line cards (Engine 3 and Engine 5):

•Configuring FRoMPLS Per-VC Disposition Shaping

•Configuring FRoMPLS Per-class Disposition Shaping

•Configuring FRoMPLS Per-VC Imposition Shaping

•Configuring FRoMPLS Per-Class Imposition Shaping

•Configuring FRoMPLS Per-DLCI Egress Shaping, page 13

Table 3 lists the FRoMPLS policy-map configuration commands supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S.

Note For per-DLCI egress shaping the only supported instructions are match any, class-default, shape, queue-limit, and random-detect discard-class.

Table 3 FRoMPLS Map, Set, and WRED MQC Commands

Supported Policy Map Configuration Command

Details

match any

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

match fr-de

The match fr-de packet classification option, when specified in a class map, matches packets that have the Frame Relay DE bit set to 1.

match mpls experimental exp-value

Configure a class map to use the specified value of the EXP field as a match criterion.

match qos-group qos-group-value

Identifies a specific QoS group value marking on a packet. This command can also be used to convey the received Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental (EXP) field value to the output interface.

set mpls experimental imposition exp-value

Designates the value to which the MPLS bits are set if the packets match the specified policy map.

set qos-group group-id

The set qos-group command allows you to associate a group ID with a packet. The group ID can be used later to classify packets into QoS groups based as prefix, autonomous system, and community string. This action marks a packet on the Rx card so that Tx features such as policing and shaping can be applied to the matching packets on the Tx card.

The treatment of packets in a qos-group is defined through the configuration of QoS policies in policy-map class configuration mode. The qos-group-value is simply a group identifier, and does not indicate precedence or classification in itself.

The qos-group-value is local to the router and is removed on egress from the router.

set discard-class

Use this command to specify the type of traffic to be dropped when there is congestion. There is no corresponding match action for discard-class for Cisco 12000 Series line cards. This command marks a packet on the RX card so that WRED can be applied on the TX card.

bandwidth {bw-value | [ [percent | remaining] percentage >] }

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S, but not supported in per-DLCI egress shaping.

priority

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

queue-limit num-of-cells-or-pkts

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S, and on per-DLCI egress shaping in 12.0(32)S.

random-detect discard-class value min-thr max-thr prob-den

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S, and on per-DLCI egress shaping in 12.0(32)S.

random-detect precedence value min-thr max-thr prob-den

(precedence=mpls-exp)

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

shape { [max buffer-limit] | [ [peak | average] target-bit-rate] }

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S, and on per-DLCI egress shaping in 12.0(32)S.

For further information on QoS commands, See Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Command Reference, Release 12.3 at the following URL:

Configuring FRoMPLS Per-VC Disposition Shaping

On Engine 5 line cards, output policy is attached to the FR interface or sub-interface using the map-class command. (The switched-dlci method, used in releases before 12.0(32)S, has now been retired). The switched-dlci method is also not supported on the SIP-400 linecard with SPA-4XcT3/DS0 running release12.0(31)S2.

The commands allowed are match-any and class-default.

The actions allowed are share, queue-limit, and random detect discard-class.

The following table shows how to configure per-dlci egress shaping.
Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable
Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal
Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

policy-map policy-map-name
Example:

Router(config)# policy-map shaper_16kbps

Example:

Router(config-pmap-c)# shape average 16000

Shapes the traffic in that class to the indicated bit rate. This will become the egress traffic's behavior when the remaining steps in this table have been entered.

Alternative available actions are queue-limit and random detect discard-class.
Step 6
exit
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Exits policy-map class configuration mode.
Step 7

Step 9

service-policy {input|output} policy-map-name
Example:

Router(config-mp)# service-policy output shaper_16kbps

Associates the policy map created in Step 3 with a single direction of traffic (in this example, egress), and with the just-named map class.

Step 10

interface interface-name
Example:

Router(config)# interface p0/0

Enters interface configuration mode for the interface whose egress traffic is to be governed by the policy.

Step 11

frame-relay interface-dlci dlci switched

Example:

Router(config-fr-dlci)# class fr_100

Attaches the traffic-shaping policy to this particular SVC (DLCI).
Configuring FRoMPLS Per-class Disposition Shaping

For FRoMPLS per-class disposition traffic shaping, match on the MPLS experimental value on the ingress disposition card then set the qos-group and the discard-class (if necessary).

On the egress port on the disposition router, match and shape on the class represented by the qos-group. WRED can be applied on discard-class values.

The policy is attached in the output direction on the customer-facing main interface.

The following procedure demonstrates the steps recommended to configure FRoMPLS per-class disposition shaping:

Step 1 Define the classes for matching the MPLS experimental values.
class-map match-any exp1
match mpls exp 1
class-map match-any exp2
match mpls exp 2
Step 2 Define the ingress policy to be applied to the RX interface.
policy-map  ingress-policy
class exp1
set qos-group 1
set discard-class 1
class exp2
set qos-group 2
set discard-class 2
Step 3 Define the classes for matching on qos-group on egress.
class-map match-all qos1
match qos-group 1
class-map match-all qos2
match qos-group 2
Step 4 Define the egress policy to be applied to TX interface.

random-detect discard-class-based
random-detect discard-class 1 1000 2000
random-detect discard-class 2 2000 3000
Configuring FRoMPLS Per-VC Imposition Shaping

Per-virtual circuit imposition shaping is not supported for FRoMPLS in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S.

Configuring FRoMPLS Per-Class Imposition Shaping

To configure per-class imposition shaping for FRoMPLS, mark the packets with set experimental imposition on the Rx line card, then apply shaping on the Tx line card.

The policy is attached in the output direction on the core-facing interface.

FRoMPLS Per-Class Imposition Shaping: Example

In the following example, the map class labeled fr_set_exp1 is applied to the Rx interface, and the policy map labeled imposition_tx_shaping is applied as shown below to the Tx interface.
policy-map set_exp1
  class class-default
   set mpls experimental imposition 1
map-class frame-relay fr_set_exp1
 service-policy input set_exp1
class-map match-all match_exp1

How to Configure ATMoMPLS Traffic Policing

ATMoMPLS policing follows the ATM Forum Traffic Management specification version 4.0. The Generic Cell Rate Algorithm (GCRA) policer is implemented for the ATM service category conformances of CBR.1, VBR.1, VBR.2, VBR.3 and UBR.1. The GCRA policing complies with International Telecommunications Union Recommendation I.371. This section discusses AAL5oMPLS only.

Policer actions for AAL5 are like the GCRA implementation, except that the algorithm is cell-based. The following statements describe the policer actions of conform, exceed, and violate in terms of Peak Cell Rate (PCR) and Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR):

•AAL5 Packet is conform: If all the cells in the AAL5 packet passed PCR and SCR bucket checks

•AAL5 Packet is exceed: If at least one cell in the AAL5 packet has failed SCR bucket check

•AAL5 Packet is violate: If at least one cell in the AAL5 packet has failed PCR bucket check

For AAL5 packet exceed, the Martini Control Word "C" bit is set. For AAL5 packet violate, the packet is dropped (if violate-action drop is configured). For example, if one cell in the AAL5 packet has violated the GCRA PCR check, the entire AAL5 packet is dropped.

OAM cells are subject to the same policing as user cells, that is, here is no special treatment to OAM cells while policing, if the policy is configured for a class-default class. OAM cells can be exempted from policing, if the policy is configured for a class which has match not atm oam-cell. However, all OAM types are treated alike.

Support is extended for set-mpls-exp-imposition-transmit and set-clp-transmit in conform action and multiple action modes.

ATMoMPLS supports cell-packing with the cell-packing criteria being OAM-based, CLP-based and policer-result based. If the MQC policer configuration contains set-mpls-exp-imposition-transmit, then a policer-result based cell-packing is chosen. This allows the MPLS packets with a specific EXP value to be packed into one packet. However OAM cells are still packed separately from the user cells.

Table 4 lists the ATMoMPLS policer commands and options supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S.

Table 4 ATMoMPLS Policer MQC Commands and Options

Supported Commands

Details

police cir percent percentage [burst-in-ms] [bc conform-burst-in-msec ms] [be peak-burst-in-msec ms] [pir percent percent]

Configures traffic policing on the basis of the specified bandwidth percentage and optional burst sizes. Percentage-based policing and shaping is supported as in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(28)S.

police rate percent percentage [burst burst-in-ms ms] [peak-rate percent percentage] [peak-burst burst-in-ms ms]

Supported as in 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

set-mpls-experimental-imposition-transmit

Sets the value of MPLS exp bits in packets governed by the exceed-action and conform-action option of the police command. This command can be used with the set-atm-clp option in multiple action mode.

exceed-action set-clp-transmit

Sets the Cell Loss Priority bit and transmits ATM cells that meet policer exceed criteria.

violate-action drop

Causes the router to discard packets that are received at a rate in excess of the exceed criteria.

Configuring ATMoMPLS Policer

•Constant Bit Rate—CBR.1

•Unspecified Bit Rate—UBR.1

•Variable Bit Rate —VBR.1

•Variable Bit Rate —VBR.2 and VBR.3 Without Cell Tagging

•Variable Bit Rate —VBR.3 with Cell Tagging

•Policing Configuration Excluding OAM Cells

Constant Bit Rate—CBR.1

CBR.1 is real-time traffic and only one rate is specified (PCR) to describe a CBR service category. All traffic exceeding the PCR is dropped. Please note that delay-tolerate (CDVT) needs to be specified for CBR conformance. Delay-tolerance is specified in microseconds.
policy CBR1
class class-default
    police rate <PCR> cps delay-tolerance <CDVT> us 
           conform-action set-mpls-exp-imposition- transmit <EXP value>
           exceed-action drop
The same policy can be represented as percentage of the interface rate units, as follows:
policy CBR1
class class-default
    police rate <PCR in percent> percent delay-tolerance <CDVT> us 
           conform-action set-mpls-exp-imposition-transmit <EXP value>
           exceed-action drop
Unspecified Bit Rate—UBR.1

UBR.1 is non-real-time traffic and only one rate is specified (PCR) to describe a UBR service category. All traffic exceeding the PCR is dropped. Please note that delay-tolerate (CDVT) needs to be specified for UBR conformance, but it can much higher compared to the delay-tolerance specified for a CBR connection. Also, note that there is no difference as far as policing is concerned between CBR and UBR service. So the policy-maps remain same. An operator typically sets the EXP value differently between a CBR and UBR service. Delay-tolerance is specified in microseconds.

Variable Bit Rate —VBR.1

VBR.1 is real-time as well as non-real-time traffic and two rates are specified (PCR and SCR) to describe a VBR service category. All traffic exceeding the PCR is dropped. Delay-tolerate (CDVT) must be specified for VBR conformance. Delay-tolerance is specified in microseconds. In addition, atm-mbs can also be specified to represent the burst allowed on an SCR bucket.
policy VBR1
class class-default
    police rate <SCR> cps atm-mbs <MBS in cells> peak-rate <PCR> delay-tolerance <CDVT> us 
           conform-action set-mpls-exp-imposition- transmit <EXP value>
           exceed-action drop
The same policy can be represented as percentage of the interface rate units, as in the following example:
policy VBR1
class class-default
    police rate <SCR in percent> percent atm-mbs <MBS in cells> 
           peak-rate <PCR in percent> percent delay-tolerance <CDVT> us 
           conform-action set-mpls-exp-imposition-transmit <EXP value>
           exceed-action drop
Variable Bit Rate —VBR.2 and VBR.3 Without Cell Tagging

VBR.2 and VBR.3 are real-time as well as non-real-time traffic and two rates are specified (PCR and SCR) to describe a VBR service category. All traffic exceeding the PCR is dropped. Please note that delay-tolerate (CDVT) needs to be specified for VBR conformance. Delay-tolerance is specified in microseconds. In addition, atm-mbs can also be specified which represents the burst that can be allowed on an SCR bucket.

The significant difference between the VBR.2/VBR.3 and VBR.1 is that the SCR bucket check is made only for CLP0 cells, that means CLP1 cells are not passed through the GCRA algorithm.

Note The set-mpls-exp-imposition-transmit <EXP value> can only be set in the parent policy. When you set the set-mpls-exp-imposition-transmit <EXP value> in the parent policy the child conform-action set-mpls-exp-imposition-transmit <EXP value> automatically takes the same <EXP value>. Only conform-action transmit is supported in the child policy. If match not atm clp is not configured, attempting to configure a policy will trigger an error.

How to Configure ATMoMPLS Traffic Shaping

The following sections on ATMoMPLS traffic shaping relate only to Cisco 12000 ISE ATM (Engine 3 and Engine 5) line cards.

•Configuring ATMoMPLS Per VC/VP Disposition Shaping

•Configuring ATMoMPLS Per-class Imposition Shaping

The match atm oam and the match atm clp commands are now supported for ATM over MPLS. Matching on OAM cells and setting the MPLS EXP value is implemented on the imposition router.

For further information on QoS: Match ATM OAM

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120limit/120s/120s30/gsatmoam.htm

Note ATM over MPLS supports cell-packing with the criteria of OAM-based, CLP-based, or policer-result based packing. If the MQC policer configuration contains the set-mpls-exp-imposition-transmit policing action, then a policer-result based cell-packing is chosen. If the above configuration is present, the packing criteria is changed to CLP based packing. This will allow the MPLS packets with a specific EXP value and CLP to be packed into one packet. Please note that OAM cells will still be packed separately.

Table 5 lists the ATMoMPLS traffic shaping and WRED configuration commands supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S.

Table 5 ATMoMPLS Set, Match, and WRED MQC Commands

Supported Commands

Details

match all

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

match any

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

match atm-clp

Sets the ATM Cell Loss Priority bit to 1.

match atm oam-cell

Matching on OAM cells and setting EXP is implemented on the imposition router.

match mpls experimental exp-value

To configure a class map to use the specified value of the EXP field as a match criterion, use the match mpls experimental class-map configuration command. To remove the EXP field match criterion from a class map, use the no form of this command.

match qos-group qos-group-value

The match qos-group command is used by the class map to identify a specific QoS group value marking on a packet. This command can also be used to convey the received Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental (EXP) field value to the output interface.

The treatment of packets in a qos-group is defined through the configuration of QoS policies in policy-map class configuration mode. The qos-group-value is simply a group identifier, and does not indicate precedence or classification in itself.

The qos-group-value is local to the router and is removed on egress from the router.

set atm-clp

Setting the ATM cell loss priority bit (CLP-bit) is also supported as an exceed-action option. This command sets the CLP bit to one on all packets matching the specified class. This command can be used with the set mpls experimental imposition command in multiaction mode.

set discard-class

Use this command to specify the type of traffic to be dropped when there is congestion. There is no corresponding match action for discard-class for Cisco 12000 Series line cards. This command marks a packet on the Rx card so that WRED can be applied on the Tx card.

set mpls experimental imposition exp-value

Designates the value to which the MPLS bits are set if the packets match the specified policy map.

set qos-group group-id

The set qos-group command allows you to associate a group ID with a packet. The group ID can be used later to classify packets into QoS groups based as prefix, autonomous system, and community string. This action marks a packet on the Rx card so that Tx features such as policing and shaping can be applied to the matching packets on the Tx card.

bandwidth {bw-value | [ [percent | remaining] percentage >] }

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

Per-VC shaping is implemented in the SAR and includes support for CBR, UBR and VBR shaping. The CLI for ATM shaping is not implemented for the Modular Quality of Service CLI (MQC) in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S.

Constant Bit Rate Shaping—CBR

For Constant bit rate (CBR) shaping you must specify Conformance Definitions for PCR as shown in the following example:
interface atm 1/0
pvp 100 l2transport
cbr <PCR 38 - 622000 kbps>
Variable Bit Rate Real Time Shaping —VBR-rt

For Variable Bit Rate Real Time (VBR-rt) shaping you must specify Conformance Definitions for PCR and SCR, as shown in the following example:
interface atm 1/0 
pvc 1/50
vbr-rt <PCR 38 - 622000 kbps> <SCR 38 - PCR kbps>
Variable Bit Rate Non-Real Time Shaping—VBR-nrt

For Variable Bit Rate Non-Real Time (VBR-nrt) shaping you must specify Conformance Definitions for PCR and SCR, as shown in the following example:
interface atm 1/0
pvc 1/50 l2transport
vbr-nrt <PCR 38 - 622000 kbps> <SCR>
Unspecified Bit Rate Shaping—UBR

For Unspecified Bit Rate Shaping (UBR) shaping you must specify Conformance Definitions for PCR, as shown in the following example:
interface atm 1/0

Table 6 EoMPLS Policer Commands for Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S

Supported Policer Command, Option, or Action

Details

police cir percent percentage [burst-in-ms] [bc conform-burst-in-msec ms] [be peak-burst-in-msec ms] [ pir percent percent]

Configures traffic policing on the basis of the specified bandwidth percentage and optional burst sizes. Percentage-based policing and shaping is supported as in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(28)S.

police {cir cir} [bc conform-burst] {pir pir} [be peak-burst] [conform-action action [exceed-action action ]]

One-rate, Two-color traffic policer supported only on the Cisco 12000 Series 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet ISE line card, part number 4GE-SFP-LC.

police {cir cir} [bc conform-burst] {pir pir} [be peak-burst] [conform-action action [exceed-action action [violate-action action]]]

Two-rate, Three-color traffic policer supported on all Cisco 12000 Series Ethernet line cards.

set-mpls-exp-transmit value

This action is a conform-action and exceed-action option for the Two-rate Three-color policer. The set-mpls-exp-transmit option sets the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental bits from 0 to 7 and sends the packet with the new MPLS experimental bit value setting.

violate-action drop

This violate-action option for the Two-rate Three-color policer causes the router to discard packets when the packet rate exceeds the peak information rate (PIR).

EoMPLS Policer Restrictions

•The color-aware policer feature is supported for E0MPLS on Engine 3 and Engine 5 based line cards for Cisco 12000 starting in 32S.

•The one-rate two-color policer in color-blind mode is supported for EoMPLS on Engine 3 and Engine 5 based line cards for Cisco 12000.

•Two-rate three-color policer cannot be used in hierarchical policy which matches on VLAN IDs.

Configuring the EoMPLS One-Rate Two-Color Policer

In the following example, packets that exceed the policer criteria are dropped:
police cir 64000  bc 10000 be 20000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
Configuring the EoMPLS Two-Rate Three-Color Policer

Two-rate three-color policing can be configured for EoMPLS, Ethernet Local switching, VLANS, and Interworking in either the color-blind or the color-aware mode.

In the following example, traffic that exceeds the committed information rate (CIR), but is less than or equal to the peak information rate (PIR) is set with an experimental bit value of 5. Traffic that exceeds the PIR is dropped.
police cir 64000  bc 10000 pir 128000 be 20000 conform transmit  exceed-action 
set-experimental-transmit 5 violate-action drop
To make the policer color-aware .1p is used for color with the flexibility to use a single value of .1p COS or multiple values to represent the conform and exceed actions. For example:
class-map match-any green
	match cos 5
class-map match-any yellow
	match cos 4
	match cos 3
policy-map 2R3C_CA
	class class-default
	 police cir 1600000 pir 3200000 
	 conform-color green exceed-color yellow 
	 conform-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 3
	 exceed-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 4
	 violate-action drop
interface Gi0/0.100

Table 7 lists the EoMPLS traffic shaping and WRED commands supported for EoMPLS in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(32)S.

Table 7 EoMPLS Match, Set and WRED Commands

Supported Set Commands

Details

match any

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(26)S, 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

match cos cos-value

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(26)S, 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

match mpls experimental value

Matches the MPLS experimental (EXP) field.

This command is not supported on the Cisco 12000.

match qos-group group-id

The match qos-group command is used by the class map to identify a specific QoS group value marking on a packet. This command can also be used to convey the received MPLS EXP field value to the output interface.

match vlan-group-id vlan-id

Matches the 802.1q VLAN ID.

set cos cos-value

Sets the 802.1p bits. The set cos command can be used only in service policies that are attached in the output direction of an interface. Packets entering an interface cannot be set with a Class of Service (CoS) value.

set discard-class discard value

Use this command to specify the type of traffic to be dropped when there is congestion. There is no corresponding match action for discard-class for Cisco 12000 Series line cards. This command marks a packet on the Rx card so that WRED can be applied on the TX card.

set mpls experimental imposition exp-value

Designates the value to which the MPLS bits are set if the packets match the specified policy map.

set qos-group group-id

The set qos-group command allows you to associate a group ID with a packet. The group ID can be used later to classify packets into QoS groups based as prefix, autonomous system, and community string. This action marks a packet on the Rx card so that Tx features such as policing and shaping can be applied to the matching packets on the Tx card.

bandwidth {bw-value | [ [percent | remaining] percentage >] }

Supported as per Cisco IOS Releases 12.0(26)S, 12.0(27)S and 12.0(28)S.

class match_cos1
shape average 128000000
interface GigabitEthernet6/1.1
encapsulation dot1Q 601
no ip directed-broadcast
no cdp enable
xconnect 8.8.8.8 601 encapsulation mpls
service-policy input input_shaping_policy
Configuring EoMPLS Per-Class Disposition Shaping

For EoMPLS per-class disposition traffic shaping, match on the MPLS experimental value on the ingress disposition card, then set the qos-group and the discard-class (if necessary).

On the egress port on the disposition router, match and shape on the class represented by the qos-group. WRED can be applied on discard-class values.

The following procedure demonstrates the steps recommended to configure EoMPLS per-class disposition shaping:

Step 1 Define the classes for matching the MPLS experimental values.
class-map match-any exp1
match mpls exp 1
class-map match-any exp2
match mpls exp 2
Step 2 Define the ingress policy to be applied to the RX interface.
policy-map  ingress-policy
class exp1
set qos-group 1
set discard-class 1
class exp2
set qos-group 2
set discard-class 2
Step 3 Define the classes for matching on qos-group on egress.
class-map match-all qos1
match qos-group 1
class-map match-all qos2
match qos-group 2
Step 4 Define the egress policy to be applied to TX interface.
policy-map egress-policy
class qos1
bandwidth percent 10
shape average 64000000
random-detect discard-class-based
random-detect discard-class 1 1000 2000
random-detect discard-class 2 2000 3000
Configuring EoMPLS Per-Class Imposition Shaping

On the imposition side, it is possible to use a policy to match on p-bits and set the experimental bits accordingly. In Release 12.0(25)S, on the disposition side, the MPLS experimental bit is copied to p-bits by default. Since Cisco IOS Release 12.0(30)S, you can map any MPLS experimental bit to any p-bit value in the egress side of the disposition router. To do this, an input policy on the Rx disposition card should be created to carry EXP values into the qos-group values. On the Tx disposition card, an output policy should be created to perform a mapping between qos-group and p-bit values as shown in the following example:

Input Policy
policy-map set_qos_discard
class match_exp1
set qos-group 1
set discard-class 1
class match_exp2
set qos-group 2
set discard-class 2
class match_exp3
set qos-group 3
set discard-class 3
Output Policy
policy-map set_cos
class match_qos1
set cos 1
class match_qos2
set cos 2
class match_qos3
set cos 3
