• Limit large flows to show a preference for small flows.
The Tsunami MP.16 system lets complex networks control and predictably service a variety of networks applications and
traffic types. Almost any network can take advantage of QoS for optimum efficiency, whether it is a small corporate
network, an Internet Service Provider, or an enterprise network.
QoS Traffic Scheduling Mechanisms
The MP.16 system supports four types of QoS traffic scheduling mechanisms:
• Unsolicited Grant Services (UGS): UGS is designed to support constant bit rate services like T1/E1 and VoIP
without silence suppression. In the MP.16 system, UGS QoS parameters include maximum sustained data rate,
maximum latency, and tolerable jitter.
• Real-Time Polling Services (rtPS): rtPS is designed to support real-time services that generate variable size data
packets on a periodic basis, such as MPEG video or VoIP with silence suppression. In the MP.16 system, rtPS QoS
parameters include maximum sustained data rate, minimum reserved traffic rate, and maximum latency.
• Non-Real-Time Polling Services (nrtPS): nrtPS is designed to support non-real-time services that require variable
size data grant burst types on a regular basis. In the MP.16 system, nrtPS QoS parameters include maximum
sustained data rate, minimum reserved traffic rate, and traffic priority.
• Best Effort Services: BE services are typically provided by the Internet today for Web surfing. In the MP.16 system,
BE QoS parameters include maximum sustained data rate and traffic priority.
Networking Parameters
SS class networking parameters include VLAN settings. These settings are dependent on the VLAN mode of the Base
Station. See VLANs in the Networking Configuration section for a description of VLAN functionality.
