Cisco Systems A9014CFD Improving Feature Scalability, QoS for MPLS/IP over Mlppp, Tcam with QoS

Chapter 24 Configuring QoS

Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)

•You can add only a maximum of 128 ACL match filters (including default deny ace) as part of class or classes.

Improving Feature Scalability

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S, Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) is allocated and deallocated dynamically based on system configuration. This improves both feature scalability and efficiency of usage of TCAM. 25 percent of this memory is reserved for Layer 2 and Layer 3 control protocols and the remaining 75 percent is allocated dynamically based on the requirements. Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding tables are independent of TCAM.

TCAM with QoS

The scalability of QoS will change depending on the features configured on the Cisco ASR 901 Router. The following are the examples:

•You can create a maximum of 768 TCAM rules.

•You can create a maximum of 640 TCAM rules with remote loopback in Ethernet OAM (802.3ah), Ethernet loopback, and DelayMeasurement configured.

•You can create a maximum of 512 TCAM rules with remote loopback in Ethernet OAM (802.3ah), Ethernet loopback, DelayMeasurement, and Router ACL configured.

For more information on troubleshooting scalability, see Troubleshooting Tips, page 24-81.

QoS for MPLS/IP over MLPPP

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.4(1)S, the extended QoS functionality is supported on the MLPPP interface. The egress policy supports classification on the MLPS EXP bits.

The following actions are supported:

•Bandwidth percent

•Priority percent

•Setting the MPLS EXP bits

•Setting the queue limit.

QoS for CPU Generated Traffic

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.4(1)S, QoS is provided for CPU generated traffic. The classification is based on DSCP (for packets going over IP adjacency) or EXP (for packets going over TAG Adjacency).

QoS treatment is available for the following CPU generated traffic:

•OSPF Packets

•ICMP Packets

•BGP Packets

•LDP Packets

•ISIS Frames
