Configuring FR QoS

About FR QoS

FR QoS application

On an FR interface, you can use generic QoS services to perform interface-based traffic shaping, traffic policing, congestion management, and congestion avoidance. You can also use FR QoS to implement virtual circuit-based QoS, including FR traffic shaping (FRTS), FR traffic policing (FRTP), FR congestion management, FR discard eligibility (DE) rule list, and FR queuing management.

FR QoS works on a per-PVC basis and is more flexible than generic QoS. For more information about Frame Relay, see Layer 2—WAN Configuration Guide.

Figure 1 FR QoS implementation

 

FR QoS parameters

FR QoS uses the following parameters:

·     CIR ALLOW—Average transmission rate guaranteed on a PVC when no congestion occurs.

·     CIR—Minimum transmission rate guaranteed on a PVC even if congestion occurs in the network.

·     CBS—Size of traffic that a PVC is committed to transmitting within the interval of Tc when congestion occurs in the network.

·     EBS—Maximum size of traffic that can exceed CBS on a PVC within the interval of Tc. When congestion occurs in the network, the traffic of the EBS size is dropped first. Transmitting traffic of the EBS size is not guaranteed by the FR network.

FRTS

Functionality

FRTS limits the outgoing traffic rate and smoothes bursts for PVCs. Then, PVCs can transmit traffic at a constant rate. FRTS applies to the outgoing interface of a switch. You can use FRTS to remove the bottleneck created when the input rate of a device is slower than the output rate of the sending device.

As shown in Figure 2:

·     Router B transmits packets to Router A at 128 kbps.

·     The maximum interface rate of Router A is only 64 kbps.

The disparity in traffic rate creates a bottleneck on the interface that connects Router A to the FR network.

To avoid packet loss, you can configure FRTS with the CIR ALLOW 64 kbps and the CIR 32 kbps on the outgoing interface Serial 2/1/1 of Router B. Then, the interface can transmit packets constantly at 64 kbps when no congestion occurs. Even if congestion occurs in the network, Router B can still transmit packets at the rate of 32 kbps.

Figure 2 FRTS implementation

 

FRTS uses the parameters CIR ALLOW, CIR, CBS, and EBS for traffic shaping. FR PVCs can transmit packets at the rate of CIR ALLOW when no congestion occurs. In the case of bursty packets, FRTS allows an FR PVC to transmit packets at a rate exceeding the CIR ALLOW.

When congestion occurs, the DCE sends FR packets with the BECN bit set to 1 to the DTE. Then, the DTE reduces its transmission rate from CIR ALLOW to CIR. If the DTE does not receive an FR packet with the BECN bit set to 1 within 125 milliseconds, it increases its transmission rate back to CIR ALLOW.

How FRTS works

FRTS is implemented by using token buckets. The meanings of the related parameters in the protocol are modified as required by the actual algorithm and principles. Figure 3 shows how a token bucket works.

Figure 3 How a token bucket works

 

In the token bucket method, packets requiring traffic control are processed in the token bucket as follows before transmission:

·     If the token bucket has enough tokens (in bits) for sending these packets, the packets are allowed to pass.

·     If the token bucket does not have enough tokens for sending these packets, these packets are put into the FR class queue.

·     Once the token bucket has enough tokens, the packets are taken out of the FR class queue for transmission.

In this way, you can control the rate of a class of packets. .

The FR protocol-provisioned parameters correspond to the FRTS parameters as follows:

·     The sum of CBS and EBS equals the token bucket size.

·     The CIR ALLOW defines the number of tokens put into the token bucket per second.

For efficiency, the FRTS introduces the concept of dynamic Tc (Tc=packet size/CIR ALLOW). The Tc can be dynamic adjusted depending on the transmitted packet size. The device allocates the required tokens to the current packets waiting for transmission within the latest Tc regardless of the packet size (smaller than 1500 bytes).

For example, send an 800-byte packet. If the CIR ALLOW of 64000 kbps, it takes Tc=6400/64000=0.1 second (100 ms) to put the required tokens into the token bucket. The packet is transmitted successfully if 6400 bits of tokens are put into the token bucket within 100 ms.

FRTP

FRTP monitors the traffic entering the network from each PVC and limits the traffic to specified traffic parameters. If the traffic on a PVC exceeds the user-defined threshold, the device takes action to conserve network resources.

Figure 4 FR traffic policing implementation

 

As shown in Figure 4, Router A on the user side transmits packets at the rate of 192 kbps to Router B on the switching side. To provide Router A with only 64 kbps of bandwidth, the FR traffic policing settings in the figure are used on the DCE side of Router B.

·     When the traffic from Router A is smaller than the CBS, Router B forwards the packets without any other processing.

·     When the traffic from Router A is larger than the CBS and smaller than EBS + CBS, the packets can be transmitted. However, for those packets of the traffic that exceeds the CBS, Router B sets the DE bit in the FR header to 1.

·     When the traffic from Router A is larger than CBS + EBS, Router B performs the following operations:

¡     Transmits the traffic that is equal to CBS + EBS.

¡     Sets the DE bit in the FR header to 1 for the traffic that exceeds the CBS.

¡     Drops the traffic that exceeds CBS + EBS.

FR queuing

FR queuing includes PVC queuing and interface queuing. Figure 5 shows the relationship between PVC queuing and interface queuing.

Figure 5 FR queuing

 

The device schedules packets by using PVC queuing before the device schedules them by using interface queuing.

PVC queuing takes effect only when FRTS is enabled.

FR interface queuing

The following queuing mechanisms are available on FR interfaces:

·     FIFO.

·     PVC PQ.

For more information about FIFO and PQ, see "Configuring congestion management."

PVC PQ has four queues (top, middle, normal, and bottom queues, in the descending priority order). The packets from one PVC are assigned to the same priority queue. PVC PQ dequeues and sends packets in the high-priority queue and then packets in the low-priority queue. The priority queue for a PVC is configured in the FR class associated with the PVC.

FR PVC queuing

After FRTS is enabled on an FR interface, each PVC on the interface has a queuing mechanism.

The following queuing mechanisms are available on FR PVCs:

·     CBQ.

·     CQ.

·     FIFO.

·     PQ.

·     RTPQ.

·     WFQ.

Only RTPQ can coexist with another queuing mechanism on a PVC. For information about queuing mechanisms, see "Configuring congestion management."

FR DE rule list

In an FR network, packets with the DE bits set to 1 are dropped first when congestion occurs. DE rule lists are applied on the FR PVCs of a device. An DE rule list can contain multiple DE rules. If a packet transmitted over the PVC matches the rules in the DE rule list, its DE bit is set to 1.
