Configuring Modular Quality of Service
Congestion Management
on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers
Congestion management controls congestion after it has occurred on a network. Congestion can be
managed on Cisco IOS XR software by using packet queueing methods, and by shaping the packet flow
through use of traffic regulation mechanisms.
Packet queueing methods define packet scheduling or the order in which packets are dequeued to the
interface for transmission on the physical wire. Furthermore, queueing methods support minimum
bandwidth guarantees and low latencies based on the order and number of times that a queue is serviced.
The following types of queueing methods and traffic regulation mechanisms are supported on the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router:
• Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR)
• Low-latency queueing (LLQ) with strict priority queueing (PQ)
Traffic shaping
•
Traffic policing
•
This module provides the conceptual and configuration information for Quality of Service (QoS) packet
queueing methods and traffic regulation mechanisms on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.
