NORTEL NETWORKS CONFIDENTIAL - SPECIAL HANDLING Quality of Service andIP Filters Unit 3 7516C_4.0 Unit 3 Objectives Explain DiffServ Explain DiffServ support on the Passport Explain IP filter support on the Passport Configure DiffServ on a Passport 8600 Configure IP filters on a Passport 8600 What is Quality of Service? An array of different technologies A method of assuring application performance An architecture for predictable network behavior A model for prioritizing traffic flows A vehicle for facilitating SLAs Why is QoS Needed? Expanding the variety of network users and applications An increase in delay-sensitive applications: Web traffic and eCommerce Interactive multimedia (VoIP, Video, Teleconferencing) Web business that requires service quality Service Providers offering varying levels of service to their customers as value-added service ($$$) Traffic differentiation in Intranets allowing the network administrator to prioritize traffic to suit business needs Levels of QoS Guaranteed Services: Provides circuit-switch-like services Reserves or guarantees bandwidth, no jitter or latency Tiered Services: Provides traffic prioritization by separating traffic by criticality Treat important traffic better; less important traffic worse High probability traffic will get through but with no “guarantees” Best Effort: “What you see is what you get” Needs bandwidth A Model for QoS 802.1p: QoS at Layer 2 DiffServ: QoS at Layer 3 DiffServ Domains and Nodes 8600 DiffServ Network Model How Does DiffServ work? Packet receives a particular forwarding treatment based on marking in its DSCP: Formerly known as IP Type of Service or IP Precedence Packet may be marked by setting the DSCP anywhere in the network but probably at domain boundaries Packet treated same way as others marked the same: Core devices know only markings (DSCP), not flows No per-flow state required inside the network Per-flow state kept at the network edge Services are built by applying rules:
