Robin).

In Profile: Traffic within the QoS policy range (bandwidth or burst value) is called “In Profile".

Out of Profile: Traffic out the QoS policy range (bandwidth or burst value) is called “Out of Profile".

16.1.2QoS Implementation

To implement Layer 3 switch software QoS, a general, mature reference model should be given. QoS can not create new bandwidth, but can maximize the adjustment and configuration for current bandwidth resources. Fully implemented QoS can achieve complete management over the network traffic. The following is as accurate as possible a description of QoS.

The data transfer specifications of IP cover only addresses and services of source and destination, and ensure correct packet transmission using OSI layer 4 or higher protocols such as TCP. However, rather providing and protecting packet transmission bandwidth, IP provides bandwidth service by best effort. This is acceptable for services like Mail and FTP, but for increasing multimedia business data and e-business data transmission, this best effort method cannot satisfy the bandwidth and low-latency requirement.

Based on differentiated service, QoS specifies a priority for each packet at the ingress. The classification information is carried in the Layer 3 IP packet header or Layer 2 IEEE 802.1Q frame header. QoS provides same service to packets of the same priority, while offering different operations for packets of different priority. A QoS-enabled switch or router can provide different bandwidths according to the packet classification information, and can remark on the classification information according to the policing policies configured, and may discard some low priority packets in case of bandwidth shortage.

If devices of each hop in a network support differentiated service, an end-to-end QoS solution can be created. QoS configuration is flexible, the complexity or simplicity depends on the network topology, devices and analysis to incoming/outgoing traffic.

16.1.3Basic QoS Model

The basic QoS consists of five parts: Classification, Policing, Remarking, Queuing and Scheduling, Classification, policing and remarking are sequential ingress actions. Queuing and Scheduling are QoS egress actions.
