Chapter 12 Configuring Quality of Service on the ML-Series Card

QoS not Configured on Egress

QoS not Configured on Egress

The QoS bandwidth allocation of multicast and broadcast traffic is handled separately from unicast traffic. On each interface, the aggregate multicast and broadcast traffic are given a fixed bandwidth commit of 10% of the interface bandwidth. This is the optimum bandwidth that can be provided for traffic exceeding 10% of the interface bandwidth.

ML-Series Egress Bandwidth Example

This section explains with examples the utilization of bandwidth across different queues with or without Priority Multicast.

Case 1: QoS with Priority and Bandwidth Configured Without Priority Multicast

Strict Priority Queue is always serviced first. The remaining interface bandwidth is utilized to service other configured traffic.

In the following example, after servicing unicast customer_voice traffic, the remaining interface bandwidth is utilized for other WRR queues such as customer_core_traffic, customer_data, and

in the ratio of 1:3:5.

At any given time, the sum of the bandwidth assigned cannot exceed the interface bandwidth (in kbps). The bandwidth share allocated to class-defaultwill be utilized by default unicast traffic (in this example, unicast traffic with CoS values other than 2, 5, 7) and all multicast/broadcast traffic (all CoS values). The default unicast and all multicast/broadcast traffic will be serviced in the ratio of 9:1.

ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA, Cisco ONS 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and among its impressive lineup of products, the Cisco ONS 15310 series stands out as an essential solution for optical networking. This series includes models such as the ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL, and ONS 15310-CA, each designed to meet the diverse needs of service providers and enterprises seeking to enhance their optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is an advanced multi-service platform designed for metropolitan area networks. It facilitates the seamless transport of data, voice, and video over optical networks. One of its main features is its ability to support a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allowing users to integrate multiple services into a single platform. Additionally, the ONS 15310-MA supports advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance.

The ONS 15310-CL variant is tailored for more specific applications, providing enhanced capabilities aimed at delivering carrier-grade services. It features a robust architecture that accommodates high-capacity traffic without compromising reliability. This model emphasizes low power consumption and a compact design, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments. The ONS 15310-CL also supports a wide range of optical interfaces, making it highly flexible for various network configurations.

In terms of technologies, the Cisco ONS 15310 series leverages Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities, providing high efficiency and greater bandwidth utilization. OTN technology enables efficient error correction and adds resilience to the network through its built-in protection mechanisms. Furthermore, the series supports seamless integration with existing IP/MPLS networks, creating a cohesive infrastructure as organizations evolve their networking requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the ONS 15310 series is its focus on scalability. Network operators can start with a modest deployment and gradually expand capacity as demand grows. This adaptability is complemented by Cisco's comprehensive management and monitoring tools, providing operators with real-time insights into network performance and facilitating proactive management.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA and ONS 15310-CL models represent sophisticated solutions for modern optical networks. With their versatile features, advanced technologies, and robust design, they empower service providers and enterprises to build resilient, high-capacity networks that meet the demands of today’s data-driven world.
