QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

First Published: October 10, 2008

Last Updated: January 31, 2011

The QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support feature enables you to configure queueing service policies at the tunnel (logical) interface level and at the physical (virtual) interface level simultaneously by using the modular quality of service (QoS) command-line interface (CLI) (MQC).

Prerequisites for QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

Configure MQC in your network.

Restrictions for QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

The QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support feature has the following restrictions:

•You must apply service policies in the output direction only; input service policies are not supported.

Note Service policies contain the queueing and shaping mechanisms including policy maps that you configure for your router.

•Only policy maps with no specific types associated with them are supported.

•The sequence of policy-map attachment on the tunnel and physical interface is critical. You must attach the policy map on the physical interface before you attach the policy map on the tunnel. If there is a queueing policy map on the tunnel and you attempt to attach a queueing policy map on the physical interface, a warning message is generated, asking you to remove the policy map on the tunnel first, before configuring it on the physical interface.

•Because tunnel traffic is mapped to the class-default of the physical interface policy map, you should not have user-defined classes at the same level that use all the link bandwidth. Based on the estimated bandwidth taken by tunnel traffic, you should configure a policy map on the physical interface.

•If there is no queueing policy map on the tunnel interface, the queueing policy map on the physical interface is in effect; and if there is no queueing policy map on the physical interface, the queueing policy map on the interface is in effect as was the case in prior releases.

•If you configure a policy map with non-queueing features on the tunnel interface, along with a non-queueing policy map on the physical interface, the policy maps are independent of each other and function accordingly as was the case in prior releases.

•The maximum hierarchical levels allowed with a queueing policy map on a tunnel and a queueing policy map on the physical interface are four.

•Multiple policy support is exclusively for configuring a queueing policy map on a tunnel and the physical interface on which the tunnel is built. Tunnel environments that are supported are generic routing encapsulation (GRE), GRE/IPSec, dynamic virtual template interface (DVTI), static virtual template interface (SVTI), and easy virtual private network (EZVPN). Dynamic multipoint VPN (DMVPN) environments are not supported.

Note There can be anti-replay issues if you have a GRE/IPSec tunnel in your network. This is because of the hierarchical queueing framework (HQF) design and is not addressed in this release. You should increase your anti-replay window.

Information About QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

To use the QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support feature, you should understand the following concepts:

•Overview of QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

•Benefits of QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

Overview of QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.4(22)T, HQF, which was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T, supported a policy map configured either on a main interface or on any child target interface. HQF did not support the coexistence of policy maps with queueing action on both the main interface and other child targets such as tunnels or subinterfaces.

Before the introduction of HQF in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T, you could attach a policy map with queueing action on both a tunnel interface and the physical interface that carries the tunnel. These two policies were treated independently.

The above configuration combination allows QoS treatment of tunneled and non-tunneled traffic. However, with HQF, the configuration combination was not supported. Since HQF supported QoS on a tunnel or on a physical interface, but not both, only one type of traffic, either tunneled or non-tunneled, received QoS treatment.

Benefits of QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

The QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support feature provides the following benefits:

•Low latency propagation from the tunnel to the main interface for voice traffic. If you configure voice traffic and give it priority at a tunnel interface, the priority voice traffic receives low latency treatment at the main interface as a result of the HQF layer hierarchy merge.

•Extension of the benefits introduced in the QoS—Hierarchical Queueing Framework (HQF) feature.

Configuration Examples for QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

This section provides configuration examples for the QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support feature.

•Configuring QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support: Example

•Verifying QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support: Examples

Configuring QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support: Example

In the following example, there is video, data, and non-critical data traffic going over a tunnel. There are also mission-critical data and internet traffic bypassing the tunnel. The requirements are that the tunnel traffic be protected, thereby giving a bandwidth guarantee to data, a latency guarantee to video, and some bandwidth guarantee to the non-tunnel mission-critical data traffic. At the same time, the tunnel traffic has to be shaped to 3 Megabits per second (Mbps). This calls for queueing on the tunnel and the physical interface. The total link bandwidth available on the physical interface is 10 Mbps.
Router# configure terminal 
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# policy-map tunnel_queues
Router(config-pmap)# class video
Router(config-pmap-c)# priority percent 40 <---- Video traffic gets 40% of 3 Mbps, which 
is 1.2 Mbps of bandwidth, and a latency guarantee when there is congestion.
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)# class critical-data
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 40 <---- Critical-data class gets 40% of 3 Mbps, 
which is 1.2 Mbps, and a bandwidth guarantee when there is congestion.
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)# exit
Router(config)# policy-map tunnel_traffic
Router(config-pmap)# class class-default
Router(config-pmap-c)# shape average 3000000
Router(config-pmap-c)# service-policy tunnel_queues
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)# exit
Router(config)# policy-map physical_traffic
Router(config-pmap)# class mission-critical
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth 3000 <---- Mission-critical class gets 3 Mbps of the 
bandwidth guarantee when there is congestion.
Router(config-pmap-c)# class class-default <---- Tunnel traffic is mapped to the 
class-default class.
Router(config-pmap-c)# shape average 7000000 <---- The class-default class is shaped to  
7 Mbps.
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)# exit
Router(config)# interface Ethernet2/1
... Interface-specific configuration goes here.
Router(config-if)# service-policy output physical_traffic

QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support

12.4(22)T

The QoS—HQF Multiple Policy Support feature enables you to configure queueing service policies at the tunnel (logical) interface level and at the physical (virtual) interface level simultaneously by using the MQC.

No commands were introduced or modified by this feature.

Glossary

latency—The delay on a router between the time a device receives a packet and the time that packet is forwarded out the destination port.

MQC—modular quality of service (QoS) command-line interface (CLI). A way to specify a traffic class independently of QoS policies.

policy map—Any defined rule that determines the use of resources within the network. A QoS policy map identifies the traffic class to which it applies and the instructions for one or more actions to take on that traffic.

QoS—quality of service. A measure of performance for a transmission system that reflects its transmission quality and service availability. Quality of service focuses on achieving appropriate network performance for networked applications; it is superior to best effort performance.
