Anatomy of a Campus Design Result Conclusions Buffers can congest in LAN’s QoS required when there is congestion in buffers Buffer Management can help reduce loss Buffering reduces loss but delay sensitive application could be negatively impacted QoS Terminology QoS labels are used to prioritize traffic COS, TOS, DSCP Classification is selection of traffic based on labels, policy Marking is application of QoS labels to traffic Policing is process by which the switch limits the bandwidth consumed by a flow of traffic Queuing is placing of traffic in different transmit queues Scheduling is process of emptying the transmit queues Layer 2 and 3 Traffic Classification DiffServ Behaviors(RFC’s: 2474, 2475, 2597 2598) Catalyst 4500 QoS Capabilities Layer 2 only System-wide QoS Dual Tx Queues per Port Layer 2, 3, or 4 QoS Per-port QoS Four Tx queues per port Strict priority queue Dynamic queue memory allocation Packet classification and marking Policing/bursting Shaping/sharing Predictable Performance Cisco IOS-Based Supervisor QoS Flow Summary Example Queue Configuration Queue 3 – voice / router control needs low latency Queue 2 – important TCP Queue 1 – less important TCP Queue 4 – video guaranteed bandwidth QoS Examples Rewrite all packets from a specific host with high-priority DSCP Trust DSCP of VOIP packets and place in Strict Priority Tx Queue Police all multicast to 30 mbps Mark down vlan 7 traffic beyond 50mbps Put video in Tx queue 2 and shape to 20mbps QoS Syntax : Modular QoS CLI Modular QoS Configuration Example Match all video on Gig2/1 Set its DSCP to 5 Police it to 100mbps and 120 kbps burst Markdown traffic exceeding policed rate Cisco Catalyst 4500 Architecture 3-slot, 6-slot chassis—one supervisor with two or five mo
