ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.17 QoS QoS stands for Quality of service. The QoS framework allows network administrators to configure the routers to meet the real time requirements for voice and video. Different QoS marking is used in different network: • ToS network: ToS bits in the IP header • VLAN network: priority bits in the VLAN header • DSCP network: uses only 5 bits of the CoS • WLAN: WLAN QoS header The QoS framework is supported on all the above domains.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide There are some additional terms you should get familiarize with: • • • • • • Ingress: Packets arriving into the router from a WAN/LAN interface. Egress: Packets sent from the router to a WAN/LAN interface. Trusted mode: Honors the domain mapping (ToS byte, WME, WLAN user priority). Untrusted mode: Does not honor domain mapping. This is the default QoS setting.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.18.2 Egress Layer 2 Configuration The Egress Layer 2 page allows you to map the CoS of an outgoing packet to user priority bits, which is honoured by the VLAN network. Again, this feature is only configurable on the WAN interfaces as VLAN is only supported on the WAN side in the current release.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.18.3 Egress Layer 3 Configuration The Egress Layer 3 page enables you to map CoS to ToS so that the priority marking of outgoing packets can be carried over to the IP network. Figure 1-30 : Egress Layer 3 Field Definition/ Description Interface Select the WAN/LAN interface here to configure the QoS for outgoing traffic to the IP network. Default Non-IP Locally generated packets (such as ARP packets) do not have a CoS marking.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.19 Ingress The Ingress page enables you to configure QoS for packets as soon as they come into the router. This page is accessed by selecting Ingress on the Advanced main page under QoS. The domain mappings are converted to CoS (the common language) so that the priority marking is carried over. There are four modes that are discussed below: 4.5.19.1 Ingress Untrusted Mode Untrusted is the default Ingress page setting for all interfaces.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.19.2 Ingress Layer 2 Configuration Layer 2 page allows you to map an incoming packet with VLAN priority to CoS. This feature is only configurable on the WAN interfaces as VLAN is only supported on the WAN side in the current software release. Figure 1-32 : Ingress Layer 2 Configuration Field Definition/ Description Interface Select the WAN interface here to configure the CoS for incoming traffic.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide Ingress Layer 2 Priority Bits to CoS Configuration 1. From Interface drop-down box, select quickstart. You are configuring QoS on this WAN interface. 2. Select CoS1 in Class of Service and 5 in Priority Bits. Any packets with priority marking 5 is mapped to CoS1, the highest priority that is normally given to the voice packets. 3. Click Apply to temporarily activate the settings. 4.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.19.3 Ingress Layer 3 Configuration The Layer 3 page allows you to map ToS bits of incoming packets from the IP network to CoS for each WAN/LAN interface. Figure 1-33 : Ingress Layer 3 Configuration Field Definition/ Description Interface For both WAN and LAN interfaces, you can configure QoS for layer 3 (IP) data traffic.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide Ingress Layer 3 ToS to CoS Configuration 1. From Interface drop-down box, select LAN Group 1. You are configuring QoS on this interface. 2. Select CoS1 in Class of Service and enter 22 in Type of Service (ToS). Any incoming packet from LAN Group 1 (layer 3) with a ToS of 22 is mapped to CoS1, the highest priority, which is normally given to the voice packets. 3. Leave the default value CoS1 in Default Non-IP.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.19.4 Ingress Static Configuration The Ingress - Static page enables you to configure a static CoS for all packets received on a WAN or LAN interface. Figure 1-34 : Ingress Static Configuration To configure, follow the following procedure to configure Ingress static QoS settings. Ingress Static Configuration 1. At the Interface drop-down box, select USB. You are configuring QoS on this interface only.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.20 QoS Shaper Configuration The Shaper Configuration page is accessed by selecting Shaper on the Advanced main page. Three shaper algorithms are supported: • HTB • Low Latency Queue Discipline • PRIOWRR Note—Egress TCA is required if shaper is configured for that interface. Figure 1-35 : QoS Shaper Configuration Field Definition/ Description Interface The selections are WAN/LAN interfaces except WLAN, which does not support Shaper feature.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide Discipline limited. So in the example above CoS1 data is not rate limited to 100Kbps but instead all 300Kbps is transmitted. The side effect is that a misconfigured stream can potentially take all bandwidth. PRIOWRR This is a priority based weighted round robin algorithm operating on CoS2-CoS6. CoS1 queues have the highest priority and are not controlled by the WRR algorithm.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide Example 2: Low Latency Queue Discipline Enabled In this second example, Low Latency Queue Discipline is enabled. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is disabled). CoS2 takes 100 kbits when there is no CoS1 packets. CoS6 has 300 kbits when there is no CoS1 or CoS2 packets. This is similar to the HTB queue discipline as they are both rate-based algorithm, except that CoS1 is handled differently.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide Example 3: PRIOWRR Enabled In this third example, PRIOWRR is enabled. Since PRIOWRR operates only on the number of packets being transmitted, the max rate field has been disabled. Only percentage can be assigned to the CoS2 - CoS6. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is not displayed). When there is no CoS1 packets, CoS2, CoS3, CoS4 each has 10 percent, and CoS6 has 70 percent.
ADSL2+ Ethernet USB Combo Router - User Guide 4.5.21 Policy Routing Configuration The Policy Routing Configuration page is accessed by selecting Policy Routing Configuration on the Advanced home page under QoS. This page enables you to configure policy routing and QoS. The policy routing configuration is discussed as follows. The QoS configuration is discussed in ‘‘Ingress Payload Database Configuration’’.
