QoS policy and QoS mapping

Therefore, it is not necessary to create a class for all other traffic. If 0% is allocated, the class is removed from the existing configuration.

Note:

When the media interface is configured, the total upstream bandwidth can be specified in Media Settings and this setting is partitioned to the specified classes.

Whether Burst is enabled. For each class, the burst capability value can be set to Yes or No. The default is No. If bursting is configured for a class, when this class becomes over-limit, it tries to borrow from the unused bandwidth of other classes. If no unused bandwidth is available, the packets are dropped when the class becomes over-limit.

!CAUTION:

Allowing bursting in classes that do not contain voice traffic can affect the availability of bandwidth to voice traffic.

DSCP values are assigned. The valid range of values is 0-63. The default value is 0. This indicates that DSCP is not used for classification. Non-zero DSCP values must be unique among all the classes for one zone because the DSCP value is the only distinguishing factor once a packet is encrypted and sent of the VPN. For example, if DSCP value 10 is assigned to the High class for media interface Ethernet0, DSCP value 10 cannot be assigned to Highest, Medium or Low for Ethernet1. It can be assigned to the High class for Ethernet 1.

When DSCP value of 0 is specified during configuration, the security gateway generates an internal non-zero DSCP value within the range of 1-63. The non-zero DSCP value generated by the security gateway cannot be used in other classes.

Source Network Objects. Traffic originating from specific networks/hosts can be selected from existing Network Objects. The source network object specifies the source IP address of the IP packets in this class.

Destination Network Objects. Traffic destined to specific networks/hosts can be selected from existing network objects. The destination network object specifies the destination IP address of the IP packets in this class.

Service. Traffic can be specified by predefined or user-configured services. A service specifies the IP protocol, TCP/UDP source and destination ports to describe the traffic in this class.

Note:

ESP or IKE cannot be assigned with a class as these encrypted packets are assigned to all the classes based on the DSCP value of the packet.

Note:

It is not recommended that a user creates a class with DSCP=, Services=ANY, and Networks=ANY because it is an ambiguous configuration. All traffic not assigned to classes is treated as default traffic. Hence it is not necessary to create such a class.
