Quality of Service Commands on the Cisco IOS XR Software

bandwidth (QoS)

To specify the minimum bandwidth allocated to a class belonging to a policy map, use the bandwidth command in policy map class configuration mode. To remove the bandwidth specified for a class, use the no form of this command.

bandwidth { rate [units] | percent percentage-value }

no bandwidth { rate [units] | percent percentage-value }

Syntax Description

rate

Minimum bandwidth, in the units specified, to be assigned to the class. Range is from 1 to 4294967295.

units

Specifies the units for the bandwidth. Values can be:

bps—bits per second
gbps—gigabits per second
kbps—kilobits per second (default)
mbps—megabits per second

percent percentage-value

Specifies the amount of guaranteed bandwidth, based on an absolute percentage of available bandwidth. Range is from 1 to 100.

Command Default

The default units is kbps.

Command Modes

Policy map class configuration

Minimum rate value changed from 128 kbps to 256 kbps.

Usage Guidelines

You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The bandwidth command is used to specify the minimum guaranteed bandwidth allocated for traffic matching a particular class. Bandwidth may be defined as a specific value or may be set as a percentage of the interface bandwidth.

Note

By default, and without any QoS configuration, the default group of an interface is allowed a minimum bandwidth of either 1 percent of the interface rate or 10 Mbps. This is applicable only on the egress.

The actual bandwidth used is calculated in multiples of 256 kbps, the minimum bandwidth rate. The configured value is rounded to the nearest multiple of 256 kbps. The value shown in the output of the running-configuration shows the configured value as entered by the user.

If a percentage value is set, the accuracy that can be expected is 1 percent.

The bandwidth command can be used only within egress service policies. Use within an ingress policy is not supported.

Note

The bandwidth value takes into account the Layer 2 encapsulation that is applied to traffic leaving the interface. For POS/SDH transmission, the encapsulation is considered to be 4 bytes. For Ethernet, the encapsulation is 14 bytes; whereas for IEEE 802.1Q, the encapsulation is 18 bytes. The actual bandwidth assigned to a class can be seen in the output of the show qos interface command.

Be careful when specifying bandwidth guarantees close to 100 percent, because the Layer 2 encapsulation considered does not include the entire Layer 2 header. This can lead to oversubscription, particularly in the case of small packet sizes.

For bundled interfaces, bandwidth can be configured only as a percentage.

A policy map can have a single bandwidth statement per class. Both percentage and actual value bandwidth configurations can be used within a policy map.

The bandwidth command does not specify how the bandwidth is to be shared. Instead it specifies how much bandwidth is guaranteed per class, by setting the number of tokens that are assigned to the token bucket of a particular class. For configured behavior to work correctly, you must ensure that the sum of the bandwidths plus any priority traffic is not greater than the bandwidth of the interface itself. If the interface is oversubscribed, unpredictable behavior results.

The bandwidth of the interface is set to be that of the physical interface, unless a hierarchical policy is defined that reduces the bandwidth available to the traffic. The following example shows a hierarchical policy being used to shape traffic to the specified value. The child policy then determines how the shaped bandwidth should be apportioned between the specified classes:

policy-map parent
  class match_all
  shape average 1000000
  bandwidth 1000000
    service-policy child

policy-map child
  class gold
    bandwidth percent 20
  class silver
    bandwidth percent 40
  class default
    bandwidth percent 40

Note

The bandwidth command is part of the parent policy. In this instance, the bandwidth command not only sets the minimum bandwidth for the class but also resets the reference point for the bandwidth percent statements in the child policy.

For main interface service policies:

If bandwidth is configured in the parent class, parent minimum bandwidth is used as a reference for the child bandwidth percentages.
If bandwidth is not configured in the parent class, the implicit minimum bandwidth, which is a portion of the total unallocated bandwidth allocated to the class based on the explicit or implicit bandwidth remaining, is used as a reference.
Implicit bandwidth remaining is an equal share of unallocated bandwidth among all queuing classes without either bandwidth or bandwidth remaining actions.

For subinterface policies:

If bandwidth is configured in the parent class, parent minimum bandwidth is used as a reference for child bandwidth percentages.
If bandwidth remaining is configured in the parent class, bandwidth-remaining-percent * interface-rate is used as a reference.
If bandwidth is not configured in the parent class, shape rate is used as a reference.

In the following example, the hierarchical policy is attached to the main interface, and the parent classes are a mix of bandwidth and shape only classes:

policy-map hqos
 class c1
   bandwidth percent 40
    service-policy child
 class c2
   shape average 500000000
    service-policy child

The reference for the child policy in class c2 is the implicit bandwidth of class c2 bounded by the shape rate of class c2. Therefore, the reference = (60 percent * interface bandwidth) / 3 bounded by 500000000 kbps.

In the following example, the hierarchical policy is a class-default only parent shape configured on subinterfaces:

policy-map sub_int_hqos
 class c1ass-default
   shape average 40
    service-policy child

The class-default parent shape rate is used as reference.

When the percent keyword is used with the bandwidth command, the bandwidth of the interface is defined as being the Layer 2 capacity excluding the Gigabit Ethernet or POS encapsulation but including the High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) flags, frame check sequence (FCS), and so on. These have to be included because they are applied per packet, and the system cannot predict how many packets of a particular packet size are being sent out.

For example, the following policy is applied to an OC-192 interface:

policy-map oc-192
  class c1
  bandwidth percent 50

The resulting bandwidth reservation for class c1 is 4,792,320 kbps. This equates to 50 percent of the OC-192 bandwidth excluding the GE or POS overhead.

For Clear Channel ATM subinterfaces, the bandwidth percent command uses the VC shaping rate as the reference rate. On ATM subinterfaces, only one bandwidth action can be configured in a class.

bandwidth remaining

To specify how to allocate leftover bandwidth to various classes, use the bandwidth remaining command in policy map class configuration mode. To return to the system defaults, use the no form of this command.

bandwidth remaining percent percentage-value

no bandwidth remaining percent percentage-value

Syntax Description

percent percentage-value

Specifies the amount of guaranteed bandwidth, based on an absolute percentage of the available bandwidth. Range is from 1 to 100.

Command Default

No bandwidth is specified.

Command Modes

Policy map class configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The bandwidth remaining command is used to set the Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) weight for the particular class.

When applied within an egress service policy, the command is used to define how any unallocated bandwidth should be apportioned. It typically is used in conjunction with the bandwidth command. In such a combination, if the minimum bandwidth guarantees are met, the remaining bandwidth is shared in the ratio defined by the bandwidth remaining command in the class configuration in the policy map.

The available bandwidth is equally distributed among those queueing classes that do not have the remaining bandwidth explicitly configured.

Note

On egress, the actual bandwidth of the interface is determined to be the Layer 2 capacity excluding the Layer 2 encapsulation, but including the HDLC flags, FCS, and so on. These have to be included because they are applied per packet, and the system cannot predict how many packets of a particular packet size are being sent out.

On ingress, you cannot use the bandwidth command to set the minimum bandwidth guarantee. Therefore, the bandwidth remaining command is used to proportionally allocate bandwidth to the particular classes, but there is no reserved bandwidth capacity.

Note

On ingress, the interface reference value is the Layer 3 capacity of the interface.

On both ingress and egress, if the bandwidth remaining command is not present, then the bandwidth is shared equally among the configured queueing classes present in the policy-map. When attempting precise calculations of expected MDRR behavior, you must bear in mind that because you are dealing with the bandwidth remaining on the link, you must convert the values to the bandwidth remaining percentages on the link, based upon the packet sizes of the traffic within the class. If the packet sizes are the same in all the classes, then the defined ratio is enforced precisely and predictably on the link.

On ATM subinterfaces, only one bandwidth action can be configured in a class.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent 80

class (policy-map)

To specify the name of the class whose policy you want to create or change, use the class command in policy map configuration mode. To remove a class from the policy map, use the no form of this command.

class [ type qos ] { class-name | class-default }

no class [ type qos ] { class-name | class-default }

Syntax Description

type qos	(Optional) Specifies a quality-of-service (QoS) class.
class-name	Name of the class for which you want to configure or modify policy.
class-default	Configures the default class.

Command Default

No class is specified.

Type is QoS when not specified.

Command Modes

Policy map configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.6.0	The type qos keywords were added.

Usage Guidelines

You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Within a policy map, the class (policy-map) command can be used to specify the name of the class whose policy you want to create or change. The policy map must be identified first.

To identify the policy map (and enter the required policy map configuration mode), use the policy-map command before you use the class (policy-map) command. After you specify a policy map, you can configure the policy for new classes or modify the policy for any existing classes in that policy map.

The class name that you specify in the policy map ties the characteristics for that class—that is, its policy—to the class map and its match criteria, as configured using the class-map command.

The class-default keyword is used for configuring default classes. It is a reserved name and cannot be used with user-defined classes. It is always added to the policy map (type qos) even if the class is not configured. For example, the following configuration shows that the class has not been configured, but the running configuration shows ‘class class-default’.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# policy-map pm1 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap)# end-policy-map 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# end 
!
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show running-config 
!
policy-map pm1
 class class-default
 !        
 end-policy-map
!

Task ID

Task ID	Operations
qos	read, write

Examples

The following example shows how to create a policy map called policy1, which is defined to shape class1 traffic at 30 percent and default class traffic at 20 percent.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# class-map class1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cmap)# match precedence ipv4 3
!
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# policy-map policy1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap)# class class1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:routerconfig-pmap-c)# shape average percent 30
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap-c)# exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap)# class class-default
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap-c)# shape average percent 20

The default class is used for packets that do not satisfy configured match criteria for class1. Class1 must be defined before it can be used in policy1, but the default class can be directly used in a policy map, as the system defines it implicitly.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Shape granularity can only be configured in the egress direction.

Shape granularity values, whether default or configured, apply to the SIP and to all SPAs that are installed on the SIP.

For the configured shape granularity to take effect, the line card must be reloaded. Use the show hw-module qos output shape granularity location command to determine if a line card reload is currently required, for the configured shape granularity value to take effect.

The shape rate you set, using the shape average command, should be a multiple of the shaper granularity. For example, if the shaper rate is set to 320 kbps but the shaper granularity is configured to 256 kbps, the effective shaper rate is 512 kbps, that is a multiple of 256 kbps. To get an actual shaper rate of 320 kbps, configure the shaper granularity to 64 kbps. Because 320 is a multiple of 64, the shaper rate will be exactly 320 kbps.

If the shape granularity is not configured, a default value of 256 kbps is applied to all output interfaces belonging to a particular line card. If the shape granularity is configured using the hw-module qos output shape granularity location command, but the granularity argument is not specified, a shape granularity of 64 kbps will be configured at the specified location.

Using this command does not affect the ingress shaping granularity for the line card.

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.2.2	Support for IPv6 ACLs with source port matching was added in MQC policy maps.
Release 3.3.1	Support for IPv4 ACLs with source port matching was added in MQC policy maps.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

For class-based features (such as marking, Modified Deficit Round Robin [MDRR], and policing), you define traffic classes based on match criteria, including ACLs and input interfaces. Packets satisfying the match criteria for a class constitute the traffic for that class.

The match access-group command specifies an ACL whose contents are used as the match criteria against which packets are checked to determine if they belong to the class specified by the class map.

Note

deny statements in ACLs used in the match access-group command are treated as permit statements.

To use the match access-group command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. You can specify up to eight IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs in a match statement.

The match discard-class command specifies a discard class that is used as the match criteria against which packets are checked to determine if they belong to the class specified by the class map.

To use the match discard-class command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match discard-class command in a class map, the new values are added to the existing match statement.

The match discard-class command sets the match criteria for examining discard classes marked on the packet. Up to eight discard class values can be matched in one match statement. For example, match discard-class 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 returns matches for discard class values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Only one of the seven values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

The discard class value is used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the discard class value 2 is not greater than 1. The value simply indicates that a packet marked with the discard class of 2 should be treated differently than a packet marked with a discard class value of 1.

Note

The match discard-class command is applied only for egress policies.

match dscp

To identify specific IP differentiated services code point (DSCP) values as match criteria for a class map, use the match dscp command in class map configuration mode. To remove a DSCP value from a class map, use the no form of this command.

match [not] dscp [ ipv4 | ipv6 ] dscp-value [ dscp-value1 . .. dscp-value7 ]

no match [not] dscp [ ipv4 | ipv6 ] dscp-value [ dscp-value1 . .. dscp-value7 ]

Syntax Description

not

(Optional) Negates the specified match result.

ipv4

(Optional) Specifies the IPv4 DSCP value.

ipv6

(Optional) Specifies the IPv6 DSCP value.

dscp-value

IP DSCP value identifier that specifies the exact value or a range of values. Range is 0 to 63. Up to eight IP DSCP values can be specified to match packets. Reserved keywords can be specified instead of numeric values. Table 1 describes the reserved keywords.

Note

Up to eight values or ranges are supported on a single match statement, and up to 64 values or ranges specified on up to eight match statements.

Command Default

Matching on both IP Version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6 packets is the default.

Release 3.2	The ipv6 and ipv4 keywords were added.
Release 3.3.0	The not keyword was added.
Release 3.7.0	Up to eight values or ranges on a single match statement, and up to 64 values or ranges specified on up to eight match statements for the dscp-value argument were supported.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The match dscp command specifies a DSCP value that is used as the match criteria against which packets are checked to determine if they belong to the class specified by the class map.

To use the match dscp command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match dscp command in a class map, only the last command entered applies.

The match dscp command examines the higher-order six bits in the type of service (ToS) byte of the IP header. Only one of the eight values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

The command supports only eight IP DSCP values. If you try to configure more match statements after all the eight values are matched, the statements get rejected.

The IP DSCP value is used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the IP DSCP value 2 is not greater than 1. The value simply indicates that a packet marked with the IP DSCP value of 2 should be treated differently than a packet marked with an IP DSCP value of 1. The treatment of these marked packets is defined by the user through the setting of QoS policies in policy map class configuration mode.

The reserved keywords listed in the following table can be specified instead of numeric values.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The match mpls experimental topmost command is used by the class map to identify MPLS experimental values matching on a packet.

To use the match mpls experimental topmost command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match mpls experimental topmost command in a class map, the new values are added to the existing match statement.

This command examines the three experimental bits contained in the topmost label of an MPLS packet. Up to eight experimental values can be matched in one match statement. For example, match mpls experimental topmost 2 4 5 7 returns matches for experimental values of 2, 4, 5, and 7. Only one of the four values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

The experimental values are used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the experimental value 2 is not greater than 1. The value indicates that a packet marked with the experimental value of 2 should be treated differently than a packet marked with the EXP value of 1. The treatment of these different packets is defined by the user through the setting of QoS policies in policy map class configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The match qos-group command sets the match criteria for examining QoS groups marked on the packet. Up to eight QoS group values can be matched in one match statement. For example, match qos-group 4 9 11 15 16 21 30 31 returns matches for QoS group values of 4, 9, 11, 15, 16, 21, 30, and 31. Only one of the eight values is needed to yield a match (OR operation).

The match qos-group command is used on the ingress match to support QoS Policy Propagation using BGP (QPPB). To use this command, you must first enter the class-map command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish. If you specify more than one match qos-group command in a class map, the subsequent match statements are added to the first match qos-group command.

The QoS group value is used as a matching criterion only. The value has no mathematical significance. For instance, the QoS group value 2 is not greater than 1. The value simply indicates that a packet marked with the QoS group value of 2 should be treated differently than a packet marked with a QoS group value of 1. The treatment of these different packets is defined using the service-policy command in policy map class configuration mode.

The QoS group setting is limited in scope to the local router. Typically, the QoS group is set on the local router and is used in conjunction with WRED or MDRR to give differing levels of service based on the group identifier.

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.3.0	The command name was changed from police cir to police rate . The keywords bc , be , and pir were changed to burst , peak-burst , and peak-rate , respectively. The units argument was added. The default units for the rate, peak rate, and burst rate changed from kbps to bps. The keywords mpls , experimental , imposition were added to the action argument.
Release 3.4.0	This command now enters policy-map police configuration mode. The conform-action , exceed-action , and violate-action keywords changed into commands within the policy-map police configuration mode. The cos and transmit keywords were added to the action argument.
Release 3.6.0	The packets burst value option was removed.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The traffic policing feature works with a two-token bucket algorithm.

The police rate can set the DSCP, the precedence, or the discard class for IP packets, and experimental and discard-class values for MPLS packets.

For bundled interfaces, traffic policing can be configured only as a percentage.

If no violate-action is specified, a default action of drop is applied, thereby activating two token buckets.

Policing can be applied in both ingress and egress directions.

The parameters set by the action keywords are rounded by the hardware. To check the actual values programmed in the hardware use the show qos interface command.

For police rate commands, interpret the percent keyword in this way:

For a one-level policy, the percent keyword specifies the CIR as a percentage of the link rate. For example, the command police rate percent 35 configures the CIR as 35% of the link rate.
For a two-level policy, in the parent policy, the percent keyword specifies the parent CIR as a percentage of the link rate. In the child policy, the percent keyword specifies the child CIR as a percentage of the maximum policing or shaping rate of the parent. If traffic policing or shaping is not configured on the parent, the parent inherits the interface policing or shaping rate.

Note

Configured values take into account the Layer 2 encapsulation applied to traffic. This applies to both ingress and egress policing. For POS/SDH transmission, the encapsulation is considered to be 4 bytes. For Ethernet, the encapsulation is 14 bytes; whereas for 802.1Q, the encapsulation is 18 bytes.

The policer uses an incremental step size of 256 kbps. The configured value is rounded down to the nearest 256 kbps. The value shown in the output of the running-configuration shows the configured value as entered by the user.

If the burst value is not specifically configured, it is automatically set to equate to 250 msec-worth of the CIR value. For example, if a CIR value of 1000000 kbps is entered, the burst value is calculated to be 32000000 bytes. However, the maximum burst value supported is 2,097,120 bytes.

Hierarchical policing is also supported. In such a configuration, both parent and child policies have class-maps containing policing statements, as in this example:

!
policy-map child
 class gold
  police rate percent 50 
  conform-action set precedence immediate 
  exceed-action drop
 !
!
policy-map parent
 class match_all
  police rate 10000 kbps burst 15000 
  exceed-action drop
  service-policy child

Modification

Release 2.0

This command was introduced.

Release 3.3.0

Maximum number of classes permitted per policy map was increased to 32.

Release 3.6.0

The type qos keywords were added.

Maximum number of classes permitted per policy map was increased to 512.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the policy-map command to specify the name of the policy map to be created, added to, or modified before you can configure policies for classes whose match criteria are defined in a class map. Entering the policy-map command enables policy map configuration mode in which you can configure or modify the class policies for that policy map.

You can configure class policies in a policy map only if the classes have match criteria defined for them. Use the class-map and match commands to configure the match criteria for a class. Because you can configure a maximum of 512 classes in one policy map, no policy map can contain more than 512 class policies. The maximum number of 512 classes per policy includes the implicit default class and its child policies.

A single policy map can be attached to multiple interfaces concurrently. The maximum number of policy maps supported is 1000.

Description

class (policy-map)

Specifies the name of the class whose policy you want to create or change.

class-map

Defines a traffic class and the associated rules that match packets to the class.

priority (QoS)

To assign a priority to a class of traffic belonging to a policy map, use the priority command in policy map class configuration mode. To remove a previously specified priority for a class, use the no form of this command.

priority [ level priority-level ]

no priority

Syntax Description

level priority-level

(Optional) Sets the class priority level value. Values are 1 or 2. Default level is 1. Level 1 traffic has higher priority.

The level keyword is not supported on ATM subinterfaces. The default is priority level 1.

Command Default

If a priority action is not configured in a class, traffic in that class is not serviced with strict priority— it is serviced after priority classes are serviced.

Command Modes

Policy map class configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 4.0.0	The level keyword was added.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The priority command configures low-latency queueing (LLQ), providing strict priority queueing (PQ). Strict PQ allows delay-sensitive data such as voice to be dequeued and sent before packets in other queues are dequeued. When a class is marked as high priority using the priority command, we recommend that you configure a policer to limit the priority traffic. This policer ensures that the priority traffic does not starve all other traffic on the line card, which protects low-priority traffic from starvation. Use the police rate to explicitly configure the policer.

The priority command sets up classes based on a variety of criteria (not just User Datagram Protocol [UDP] ports) and assigns a priority to them.

The bandwidth and priority commands cannot be used in the same class, within the same policy map. These commands can be used together in the same policy map .

Within a policy map, you can give one or more classes priority status. When multiple classes within a single policy map are configured as priority classes, all traffic from these classes at same priority level is queued to the same priority queue. There is one priority queue per level in a group.

On the Cisco CRS Series Modular Services Card 40G (CRS-MSC-40G), a priority action can be configured with or without a police action in the same class.

On the Cisco CRS Series Modular Services Card 140G (CRS-MSC-140G), a police action must be configured in the same class as the priority action. A class configuration that includes a priority action but no police action is not valid. Such a configuration is rejected.

To use existing CRS-MSC-40G QoS configurations on the CRS-MSC-140G, add a police action to all classes that have a priority action.

Priority assignment at the group level for an egress interface policy is not supported.

Note

The requirement to configure a policer does not apply to fabric QoS polices, because police actions in fabric QoS policies are not supported.

queue-limit

To specify or modify the maximum number of packets the queue can hold for a class policy configured in a policy map, use the queue-limit command in policy map class configuration mode. To remove the queue packet limit from a class, use the no form of this command.

queue-limit value [unit]

no queue-limit

Syntax Description

value

Maximum threshold for tail drop in bytes. Range is from 1 to 4294967295.

unit

(Optional) Units for the queue limit value. Values can be:

bytes —bytes
cells —cells (ATM subinterfaces only)

10 milliseconds: maximum threshold for high-priority queues

Maximum threshold units are in packets.

Note

The default queue limit is set to bytes of 100 ms of queue bandwidth. The following formula is used to calculate the default queue limit in bytes: bytes = (100 ms * queue bandwidth kbps) / 8.

Release 3.9.2	The cells unit was added.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Packets satisfying the match criteria for a class accumulate in the queue reserved for the class until they are serviced by the scheduling mechanism. The queue-limit command defines the maximum threshold for a class. When that threshold is reached, enqueued packets to the class queue result in tail drop (packet drop). Tail drop is a congestion avoidance technique that drops packets when an output queue is full, until congestion is eliminated.

Use the show qos interface command to display the queue limit and other policer values.

The following default values are used when queue-limit is not configured in the class:

If QoS is not configured:
- The queue limit is 100 ms at the interface rate.
If QoS is configured and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) is not configured:
- Queue limit is 100 ms at the guaranteed service rate of the queue for non-priority queues.
- Queue limit is 10 ms at the interface rate for Level 1 priority classes.
- Queue limit is 10 ms at parent guaranteed service rate for Level 2 priority classes.
If QoS is configured and WRED is configured:
- Queue limit is two times the WRED maximum threshold. The maximum threshold can be an explicitly configured value or an implicit 100 ms.
- If more than one WRED profile is configured in the class, the maximum threshold is the maximum for all profiles.
- When the queue-limit is configured in time units, the guaranteed service rate is used to compute the queue limit.

When the queue limit is configured in time units, the guaranteed service rate of the class is used to calculate the queue limit in bytes. For example: time_unit in ms * guaranteed_service_rate in kbps / 8 is equivalent to queue-limit in bytes.

The following restrictions apply to queue limits:

Queue limit should be at least the maximum MTU size, which is 9 * 1024 bytes = 9kb.
Queue limit cannot exceed 1 GB, which is the maximum packet buffer size in ingress and egress queuing ASICs.
Only time-based units are allowed on bundle targets.

The guaranteed service rate is defined as the service rate of the queue when all queues are backlogged and derived as:

minimum_bandwidth + (bandwidth_remaining_percent * unallocated_bandwidth)

The following example shows the guaranteed service rate calculation:

policy-map sample_policy
  class c1
    bandwidth percent 30
    bandwidth remaining percent 40
  class c2
    bandwidth percent 20
  class class-default

guaranteed service rate of c1 = 30 percent LR + (40 percent * 50 percent * LR)

guaranteed service rate of c2 = 20 percent LR + (30 percent * 50 percent * LR)

guaranteed service rate of class-default = 30 percent * 50 percent * LR

Where LR is line rate of the target on which service policy "sample_policy" is attached.
50 percent is unallocated bandwidth.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The RED congestion avoidance technique takes advantage of the congestion control mechanism of TCP. By randomly dropping packets before periods of high congestion, RED tells the packet source to decrease its transmission rate. Assuming the packet source is using TCP, it decreases its transmission rate until all the packets reach their destination, indicating that the congestion is cleared. You can use RED as a way to cause TCP to slow transmission of packets. TCP not only pauses, but it also restarts quickly and adapts its transmission rate to the rate that the network can support.

RED distributes losses in time and maintains normally low queue depth while absorbing traffic bursts. When enabled on an interface, RED begins dropping packets when congestion occurs at a rate you select during configuration.

When time units are used, the guaranteed service rate is used to compute thresholds.

The default values for RED are calculated as follows:

default min_threshold = 0.03 * B

default max_threshold = 0.1 * B

where B is the bandwidth for the queue. When all the queues are congested, the bandwidth for the queue is equal to the guaranteed service rate of the queue.

The mark probability is always set to 1.

When the value of the units argument is packets, packets are assumed to be 256 bytes in size.

The following restrictions apply to Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED):

For thresholds in time units, the guaranteed service rate is used to calculate the thresholds in bytes.
Default RED minimum threshold—30 ms at the guaranteed service rate.
Default RED maximum threshold—100 ms as the guaranteed service rate.

For bundles, queue limit and WRED thresholds are supported in time units only.

Note

RED is enabled when you configure any of the supported random-detect commands.

random-detect dscp dscp-value min-threshold [units] max-threshold [units]

no random-detect dscp dscp-value min-threshold [units] max-threshold [units]

Syntax Description

dscp-value

DSCP value. Up to eight dscp-values (any combination of numbers, ranges, and reserved keywords) can be used separated by commas. The following arguments are supported:

Number from 0 to 63 that sets the DSCP value.
Range of DSCP values. Range is from 0 to 63.
Reserved keywords can be specified instead of numeric values. Table 1 describes the reserved keywords.

Note

The range argument is not supported.

min-threshold

Minimum threshold in number of packets. The value range of this argument is from 0 to 1073741823. When the average queue length reaches the minimum threshold, WRED randomly drops some packets with the specified DSCP value.

max-threshold

Maximum threshold in number of packets. The value range of this argument is from the value of the min-threshold argument to 1073741823. When the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold, WRED drops all packets with the specified DSCP value.

units

(Optional) Units for the threshold values. Values can be:

bytes—bytes
gbytes—gigabytes
kbytes—kilobytes
mbytes—megabytes
ms—milliseconds
packets—packets (default)
us—microseconds

Command Default

Match packets with default DSCP (000000).

Default unit for max-threshold and min-threshold is packets.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

WRED is a congestion avoidance mechanism that slows traffic by randomly dropping packets when congestion exists. WRED is most useful with protocols like TCP that respond to dropped packets by decreasing the transmission rate.

Reserved keywords can be specified instead of numeric values. See Table 1 for the list of keywords.

When the value of the units argument is packets, packets are assumed to be 256 bytes in size.

The service-policy (policy-map class) command creates hierarchical service policies in policy-map class configuration mode.

This command is different from the service-policy (interface) command used in interface configuration mode.

The child policy is the previously defined service policy that is being associated with the class default of the parent policy-map. The new service policy using the preexisting service policy is the parent policy.

The service-policy (policy-map class) command has the following restrictions:

The priority command can be used in either the parent or the child policy, but not both policies simultaneously.
If the bandwidth command is used in the child policy, the bandwidth command must also be used in the parent policy. The one exception is for policies using the default class.

set discard-class discard-class-value

no set discard-class discard-class-value

Syntax Description

discard-class-value

Discard class ID. An integer from 0 to 7, to be marked on the packet.

Command Default

No group ID is specified.

Command Modes

Policy map class configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The set discard-class command associates a discard class ID with a packet. After the discard class and QoS group IDs are set, other QoS services such as Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) can operate on the bit settings.

Discard-class indicates the discard portion of the per hop behavior (PHB). The set discard-class command is typically used in Pipe mode. Discard-class is required when the input PHB marking is used to classify packets on the output interface.

The discard-class values can be used to specify the type of traffic that is dropped when there is congestion.

Note

Marking of the discard class and the QoS group has only local significance on a node.

set dscp

To mark a packet by setting the IP differentiated services code point (DSCP) in the type of service (ToS) byte, use the set dscp command in policy-map class configuration mode. To remove a previously set DSCP value, use the no form of this command.

set dscp [tunnel] dscp-value

no set dscp [tunnel] dscp-value

Syntax Description

tunnel	(Optional) Sets the DSCP on the outer IP header. This command is available on Layer 2 (Ethernet only) and Layer 3 interfaces in the ingress direction.
dscp-value	Number from 0 to 63 that sets the DSCP value. Reserved keywords can be specified instead of numeric values. Table 1 describes the reserved keywords.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Policy map class configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.8.0	The tunnel keyword is supported for QoS in a Multicast Virtual Private Network (mVPN) enabled network that requires both conditional and unconditional marking of DSCP bits on the tunnel header.
Release 3.9.0	Support for the tunnel keyword on Layer 2 interfaces was added.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

After the DSCP bit is set, other quality-of-service (QoS) services can then operate on the bit settings.

Conditional marking marks the DSCP values on the tunnel header as a policer action. Unconditional marking marks the DSCP tunnel as a policy action. Both conditional and unconditional markings are supported only in the ingress direction.

The tunnel keyword is available on Layer 2 (Ethernet only) and Layer 3 interfaces in the ingress direction.

The network gives priority (or some type of expedited handling) to marked traffic. Typically, you set the DSCP value at the edge of the network (or administrative domain); data then is queued based on the DSCP value. Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) can speed up handling for high DSCP traffic at congestion points. Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) ensures that high DSCP traffic has lower loss rates than other traffic during times of congestion.

Reserved keywords can be specified instead of numeric values. Table 1 describes the reserved keywords.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

After the MPLS experimental bits are set, other QoS services such as Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) then operate on the bit settings.

The network gives priority (or some type of expedited handling) to the marked traffic through the application of MDRR or WRED at points downstream in the network. Typically, the MPLS experimental value is set at the edge of the network (or administrative domain) and queueing is acted on it thereafter. MDRR can speed up handling for high-priority traffic at congestion points. WRED ensures that high-priority traffic has lower loss rates than other traffic during times of congestion.

Command	Description
class-map	Defines a traffic class and the associated rules that match packets to the class.
policy-map	Creates or modifies a policy map that can be attached to one or more interfaces to specify a service policy.
service-policy (interface)	Attachs a policy map to an input interface or output interface to be used as the service policy for that interface.

set precedence

To set the precedence value in the IP header, use the set precedence command in policy map class configuration mode. To leave the precedence value unchanged, use the no form of this command.

set precedence [tunnel] value

no set precedence [tunnel] value

Syntax Description

tunnel	(Optional) Sets the IP precedence on the outer IP header. This command is available on Layer 2 (Ethernet only) and Layer 3 interfaces in the ingress direction.
value	Number or name that sets the precedence bits in the IP header. Range is from 0 to 7. Reserved keywords can be specified instead of numeric values. Table 1 describes the reserved keywords.

Command Default

Command Modes

Command History

Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.8.0	The tunnel keyword is supported for QoS in a Multicast Virtual Private Network (mVPN) enabled network that requires both conditional and unconditional marking of precedence bits on the tunnel header.
Release 3.9.0	Support for the tunnel keyword on Layer 2 interfaces was added.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Precedence can be set using a number or corresponding name. After IP Precedence bits are set, other QoS services such as Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) then operate on the bit settings.

Conditional marking marks the precedence values on the tunnel header as a policer action. Unconditional marking marks the precedence tunnel as a policy action. Both conditional and unconditional markings are supported only in an ingress direction. The tunnel keyword is available on Layer 2 (Ethernet only) and Layer 3 interfaces in the ingress direction.

The network gives priority (or some type of expedited handling) to the marked traffic through the application of MDRR or WRED at points downstream in the network. IP precedence can be set at the edge of the network (or administrative domain) and have queueing act on it thereafter. MDRR can speed handling for high-precedence traffic at congestion points. WRED ensures that high-precedence traffic has lower loss rates than other traffic during times of congestion.

The mapping from keywords such as 0 (routine) and 1 (priority) to a precedence value is useful only in some instances. That is, the use of the precedence bit is evolving. You can define the meaning of a precedence value by enabling other features that use the value. In the case of high-end Internet QoS, IP precedences can be used to establish classes of service that do not necessarily correspond numerically to better or worse handling in the network.

set qos-group

To set the quality of service (QoS) group identifiers on packets, use the set qos-group command in policy map class configuration mode. To leave the QoS group values unchanged, use the no form of this command.

set qos-group qos-group-value

no set qos-group qos-group-value

Syntax Description

qos-group-value

QoS group ID. An integer from 0 to 31, to be marked on the packet.

Command Default

No group ID is specified.

Command Modes

Policy map class configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The set qos-group command associates a QoS group ID with a packet. After the QoS group ID is set, other QoS services, such as Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), can operate on the QoS group setting.

The QoS group setting is limited in scope to the local router. Typically, the QoS group is set on the local router and used in conjunction with WRED or MDRR to give differing levels of service based on the group identifier.

Task ID

Task ID	Operations
qos	read, write

Examples

The following example sets the QoS group to 5 for packets that match the MPLS experimental bit 1:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# class-map class1

Average shaping rate in the specified units. Values can be from 1 to 4294967295.

units

(Optional) Units for the bandwidth. Values can be:

bps—bits per second (default)
gbps—gigabits per second
kbps—kilobits per second
mbps—megabits per second

Command Default

units: bps

Command Modes

Policy map class configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.3.1	Minimum rate value changed from 128 kbps to 256 kbps.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

When you use the shape average command, egress shaping is done at the Layer 2 level and includes the Layer 2 header in the rate calculation. Ingress shaping is done at the Layer 3 level and does not include the Layer 2 header in the rate calculation. Shaping is performed in multiples of 256 kbps, the minimum shaping rate.

For shape average commands in the child policy, the reference used for percentage parameters is relative to the maximum rate of the parent. If shaping or policing is not configured on the parent, then the parent inherits the interface rate.

For bundled interfaces, shape average can be configured only as a percentage.

If you have both shape and bandwidth configured for a class, ensure that the shape percent value is always greater than the percent value for bandwidth.

Task ID

Task ID	Operations
qos	read, write

Examples

The following example sets traffic shaping to 50 milliseconds:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# policy-map policy1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap)# class class1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap-c)# shape average percent 50

The following example shows how to set traffic shaping to 5,000,000 kbps:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# policy-map policy1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap)# class class1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-pmap-c)# shape average 5000000 kbps
