Chapter 8 QoS menu
8.1 QoS Configuration
In the
QoS
configuration tab, the packet classifier can be managed to define a QoS rule for incoming
Ethernet traffic, and assign a priority to be used in the G.hn network. Press the “
Update
" button for loading
the newly configured settings:
QoS CRITERION
: a general criterion can be chosen among "None" (no QoS), "Custom" and
"802.1p".
Type of Frame
: with this parameter the type of Ethernet traffic being transmitted by the G.hn
network should be selected. Based on this parameter, the internal offsets in the system are adjusted.
In the QoS tab, Ethernet frame offsets should be set
counting number
as they appear in the sniffer
SW (for instance, the same field will be in a different position if normal Ethernet frames or 802.1Q
tagged frames exist).
Packet detection 1
: first packet detection rule can be configured (offset, bitmask and pattern).
Packets which accomplish it will be sent to the classification module.
Packet detection 2
: if second packet detection is also enabled, both, first and second detection
criteria must be accomplished to pass packets to the classification module.
Packet classification
: up to 8 classification rules can be defined in this section for packets which
have previously been correctly detected. For 802.1p only priorities can be managed, offset, bitmask
and pattern are predefined to sniff the PCP field.
Default priority
: select default priority; which will be applied to non classified incoming packets.
Priority 7 is the highest. Priority 0 is the lowest.
