Chapter 16: Quality of Service

Section II: Advanced Operations 254

Quality of Service Overview

Quality of Service allows you to prioritize traffic and/or limit the

bandwidth available to it. The concept of QoS is a departure from the

original networking protocols, which treated all traffic on the Internet or

within a LAN the same. Without QoS, every different traffic type is

equally likely to be dropped if a link becomes oversubscribed. This

approach is now inadequate in many networks, because traffic levels

have increased and networks transport time-critical applications such as

streams of video data. QoS also enables service providers to easily

supply different customers with different amounts of bandwidth.

Configuring Quality of Service involves two separate stages:

1. Classifying traffic into flows, according to a wide range of criteria.

Classification is performed by the switch’s packet classifiers,

described in Chapter 14, Classifiers on page 219.

2. Acting on these traffic flows.

Quality of Service is a broadly used term that encompasses as a

minimum both Layer 2 and Layer 3 in the OSI model. QoS is typically

demonstrated by how the switch accomplishes the following:

❑ Assigns priority to incoming frames, if they do not carry priority

information

❑ Maps prioritized frames to traffic classes, or maps frames to traffic

classes based upon other criteria

❑ Maps traffic classes to egress queues, or maps prioritized frames

to egress queues

❑ Provides maximum bandwidth limiting for traffic classes, egress

queues and/or ports

❑ Schedules frames in egress queues for transmission (for example,

empty queues in strict priority or sample each queue)

❑ Relabels the priority of frames

❑ Determines which frames to drop if the network becomes

congested

❑ Reserves memory for switching/routing or QoS operation (e.g.

reserving buffers for egress queues, or buffers to store packets

with particular characteristics)
