Q-Flex Satellite Modem Installation and Operating Handbook 

 

 7-25 

7.8.9.4.1  IP Address 

It  is  possible  to  classify  a  data  stream  based  on  either  the  source  and/or  the  destination 
address  in  the  IP  packet  as  well  as  the  port  number  of  the  TCP  or  UDP  header  in  the 
packet.

 

 
Each address has an associated subnet mask that delimits the particular host subnet from 
the  overall  network.  For  example,  if  an  address  is  10.3.0.0  and  the  mask  is  255.255.0.0 
then any packet containing the subnet 10.3 will be matched. To match on the whole of an 
address the mask must be set to 255.255.255.255. 
 
If matching on a port is also selected then the packet will only be classified as part of the 
data stream if both the address and the port number match. 
 
A  maximum  of  16  data  streams  are  supported,  each  of  which  has  its  own  CIR,  BIR  and 
priority level settings. 
 
The example in 

Figure 7-11 

shows a traffic shaping scheme based on matching on source 

address  and  source  port  number.  Note  the 

Enable  shaping

  checkbox,  which  controls 

whether traffic shaping is enabled or not. The 

Input mode

 can be set the entry method to 

bits per second, or percentage input. Using percentages may be useful when using ACM, 
where the bandwidth varies dynamically. In addition, input can be specified as percentages 
but  using  a  fixed  CIR  in  bits  per  second,  allowing  absolute  guaranteed  bandwidths  to  be 
allocated with excess bandwidth being distributed using percentages.
