Identify the types of traffic

Full QoS scenario 1: tiered services for a single customer

Bronze traffic is also allowed to burst up to the full egress bandwidth of the uplink port, but when congestion occurs, will be throttled back in favour of Gold traffic, and will share the remaining bandwidth with Silver traffic in a Weighted Round Robin fashion. The ISP makes no guarantees at all with regard to delivery of Bronze traffic across their network; it will be delivered on a best-effort basis.

The different categories of traffic will be identified by the DSCP values in the packets' headers. It is up to the customer to mark the packets with the appropriate DSCP values.

The DSCP values belonging to the different traffic categories are:

Gold 40

Silver 30

Bronze 0

The classifiers to match these DSCP values are:

create classifier=1 ipds=0

create classifier=2 ipds=30

create classifier=3 ipds=40

XPut the different categories of trafffic into different queues

There are 3 flow groups created, and the appropriate classifiers are added to each flow group:

create qos flowgroup=1 create qos flowgroup=2 create qos flowgroup=3

add qos flowgroup=1 classifier=1 add qos flowgroup=2 classifier=2 add qos flowgroup=3 classifier=3

Then three traffic classes are created, each containing one flow group:

create qos trafficclass=1 create qos trafficclass=2 create qos trafficclass=3

add qos trafficclass=1 flowgroup=1 add qos trafficclass=2 flowgroup=2 add qos trafficclass=3 flowgroup=3

create qos policy=1

add qos policy=1 traffic=1,2,3 set qos port=1 policy=1

This way, each category of traffic is associated with a different traffic class.
