Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively

Introduction

Table 6-5.Precedence Criteria for QoS Classifiers

Precedence Criteria Overview

UDP/TCP Takes precedence based on a layer 4 UDP or TCP application, with a user-specified application

port number (for example, Telnet). Default state: Disabled

If a packet does not meet the criteria for UDP/TCP priority, then precedence defaults to the Device Priority

classifier, below.

Device Takes precedence based on an inbound packet having a particular destination or source IP

Priority address. If a given packet has a destination IP address matching a QoS configuration, this

(IP packet takes precedence over another packet that has the matching IP address as a source

Address) address. (This can occur, for example, on an outbound port in a switch mesh environment.)

Also, if the source and destination IP addresses (SA and DA) in the same packet match for

different QoS policies, the DA takes precedence. Default state: No IP address prioritization.

If a packet does not meet the criteria for device priority, then precedence defaults to the IP Type of Service

(ToS) classifier, below.

3 IP Type- Takes precedence based on the TOS field in IP packets. (Applies only to IP packets.) The ToS

of- field is configured by an upstream device or application before the packet enters the switch.

Service

• IP Precedence Mode: QoS reads an inbound packet’s IP precedence (upper three) bits in

(IP ToS)

the Type-of-Service (ToS) byte and automatically assigns an 802.1p priority to the packet (if

specified in the QoS configuration) for outbound transmission.

• Differentiated Services (Diffserve) Mode: QoS reads an inbound IP packet’s differentiated

services, or codepoint (upper six), bits of the Type-of-Service (TOS) byte. Packet

prioritization depends on the configured priority for the codepoint. (Some codepoints default

to the DSCP standard, but can be overridden.)

For more on IP ToS, see “QoS IP Type-of-Service (ToS) Policy and Priority” on page 6-34.

Default state: Disabled.

If a packet does not meet the criteria for ToS priority, then precedence defaults to the VLAN classifier.

4 VLAN Takes precedence based on the ID number of the VLAN in which the inbound packet exists.

Priority For example, if the default VLAN (VID = 1) and the “Blue” VLAN (with a VID of 20) are both

assigned to a port, and Blue VLAN traffic is more important, you can configure QoS to give Blue

VLAN traffic a higher priority than default VLAN traffic. (Priority is applied on the outbound

port.) Default state: No-override.

If a packet does not meet the criteria for VLAN priority, then precedence defaults to the Source-Port

classifier, below.

Source- Takes precedence based on the source-port (that is, the port on which the packet entered the

Port switch).

If a packet does not meet the criteria for source-port priority, then precedence defaults to Incoming 802.1p

criteria, below.
