Creating an Output QoS Policy
To create an output QoS policy, use the following commands.
1 Create an output QoS policy.
CONFIGURATION mode
qos-policy-output
2 After you configure an output QoS policy, do one or more of the following:
Strict-Priority Queuing
Configuring Policy-Based Rate Shaping
Allocating Bandwidth to Queue
Specifying WRED Drop Precedence
Strict-Priority Queuing
You can configure strict-priority queueing in an output QoS policy. Strict-priority means that the system de-
queues all packets from the assigned queue before servicing any other queues.
Strict-priority queueing is performed using the Scheduler Strict feature. When scheduler strict is applied to
multiple queues, the higher queue number takes precedence. For more information, see
Enabling Strict-Priority
NOTE: Strict priority on a a global level is not supported.
Configuring Policy-Based Rate Shaping
To configure policy-based rate-shaping, use the rate-shape command.
• Configure rate-shaping on egress traffic.
QOS-POLICY-OUT mode
rate-shape {kbps | pps} peak-rate {burst-kbps | burst-packets} [committed {kbps
| pps} committed-rate {burst-kbps | burst-packets}]
In a QoS output policy, you can configure rate-shaping on egress traffic:
• In either kilobits per second (kbps) or packets per second (pps)
• By specifying peak rate and the peak burst, and (optionally) committed rate and committed burst size
You must configure the peak rate and peak burst size using the same value: kilobits or packets per second.
Similarly, you must configure the committed rate and committed burst size with the same measurement.
Peak rate refers to the maximum rate for traffic arriving or exiting an interface under normal traffic conditions.
Peak burst size indicates the maximum size of unused peak bandwidth that is aggregated. This aggregated
bandwidth enables brief durations of burst traffic that exceeds the peak rate and committed burst.
Committed rate refers to the guaranteed bandwidth for traffic entering or leaving the interface under normal
network conditions. When traffic propagates at an average rate that is less than or equal to the committed
Queueing.
