Policy and Rule Descriptions

Policies Set in WebQoS

•Defer CLASS priority requests

This corrective action defers sessions for the priority request. The deferred session is admitted instantly after the deferred time has passed.

When a session is deferred, WebQoS sends the deferred session a customized web page indicating that the web site is very busy, and that the request will be fulfilled soon. The requestor sees a timer that indicates when the request will be re-submitted automatically.

Refer to “Customizing the Reject and Defer Web Pages” below for information about how to customize the Defer web page.

Customizing the Reject and Defer Web Pages

The Reject and Defer web pages can be customized by editing the following html pages that are shipped with WebQoS:

•/etc/opt/webqos/html/Defer.html

•/etc/opt/webqos/html/Reject.html

You can also create a site-specific Defer page. See the following section for detailed information about incorporating a defer timer into your Defer page and configuring a link within the page. If you create your own Defer page or modify any of the above pages, restart the web server for the pages to take effect.

Creating a Defer Web Page Figure A-1 shows the default Defer page provided with the WebQoS product. This page incorporates a defer timer that displays the time remaining before the request is retried. You can use this page as is or you can modify the text as needed.
