DiffServ QoS Parameters
Summary
Parameter Function
Minimum policed packet size. Default 128 bytes. If a packet is smaller, the policed bandwidth is calculated with this packet size.
Minimum shaped packet size. Default 128 bytes. If a packet is smaller, the shaped bandwidth is calculated with this packet size.
Policer bandwidth (CIR, PIR, CBS, PBS) Policers defined for EF, AF and BE traffic. Policer can be associated to a port, VLAN or
L3/L4 flow.
Policer marker action (mark or drop) for CIR and PIR. Policer can be associated to a port, L2 flow (VLAN, VP/VC, DLCI) or L3/L4 flow.
Define ingress and egress QoS mapping for traffic. IP DSCP/MPLS label/802.1p mapping to EF/AF/BE.
Map packet QoS classes to queues. Enables mapping of one or several QoS classes into single queue.
Strict priority queue leak rate. Optional feature. Scheduling system may give transmit opportunities from strict priority to
WFQ scheduling. 1/1 1/250 range.
Queue length. Specify queue length in packets for every queue.
Queue weight. Scheduling weight for WFQ scheduling classes (AF1, AF2, AF3, AF4, BE). Value range
08000.
RED/WRED drop criteria. Set minimum and maximum thresholds and drop probability and maximum thresholds.
These three values define the drop probability curve that RED/WRED uses for a queue.
RED/WRED exponential weighting factor Defines how quickly RED responds to changes in queue lenght.
Shaper bandwidth (CIR, PIR, CBS) EF, AF and BE shapers associated to physical egress ports. BE shaper can be
associated to VLAN.

VP or VC traffic parameters Define service category (CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, UBR+, UBR), conformance definition (CBR.1, VBR.1,
UBR.1), PCR, SCR, MCR, MBS and CDVT for a VP or VC.
atm cell-concatenation Number of ATM cells to be concatenated (132)
VP shaping Enable VP shaping according to PCR, SCR, MCR and CDVT for a VP.
VC shaping Enable VC shaping according to PCR, SCR and CDVT for a VC.
