Notes
IC (Internal
Classifier)
(1)
Classify (map) the
ingress frame to
internal priority
Always adds a VLAN
tag.
VLAN tag CoS value
copied from
incoming frame or
if tag missing use L3
priority value.
Classify
Profile
Entry
Select Profile No.
Assign internal priority
based on CoS (p-bit) or
IP v4/v6 DSCP or MPLS
Exp value.
Equipment Based Mode:
one user
defined mapping profile common to all
ports based on CoS p-bit. If p-bit is
missing, can define internal priority
based on ipv4 Prec, ipv4/v6 DSCP or
MPLS Exp or use a default internal
priority.
Port Based Mode:
each port may use
one of the following
a) CoS-based
default mapping (1-1, 2-2 etc), b) user
defined DSCP-classification or c) port
default priority.
PO (Policer)
(2)
Colour marking
based on the outer
tag CoS-value.
Ingress Setting
Ingress Policer
Profile Setting
”2-rate 3-colour”.
CIR, EIR, CBS, EBS
Setting per port and
per VLAN
When a high packet rate burst is too
long, it is marked Yellow or Red
(dropped). Normally packet is Green.
Red limit is approximately CIR + EIR for
a continuous stream.
EC (Egress
Classifier)
(3)
Classify frame to an
Egress Queue Class
based on the
internal priority and
the physical ingress
port.
QoS Port Setting
List/Internal
Priority Queuing
Policy per Ingress
Internal priority and
the physical ingress
port define the Queue
Class.
Note: the default
mapping profile (one to
one) plus two user
defined mapping
profiles may be used.
Egress port does not have any effect in
the egress queue classification.
Number of classes 4 or 8.
SW (Switch)
L2 internal
switching
VLAN Setting
L2 switch directs the
frame to the egress
port based on the VLAN
settings and frame
outer VID.
Egress port may be Ethernet port or
one of the modem ports
EQS (Egress
Queue/Shaper)
(4)
Egress port queuing,
queue class based
shaping and port
based shaping
QoS Port Setting
List/Port Setting
Egress Class
Setting
Information
Dropping yellow and
even green frames
when the queue is too
long. Queue
management
Strict priority class bypasses the
queuing. Dual shaping per class and per
egress port.
