The Service Management Menu - Vocality V100 Technical Manual

3.4.9.8

The SERVICE MANAGEMENT menu

The service management facility allows the V100 administrator to perform IP filtering and forwarding
decisions based on fields within the protocol header in addition to the standard destination address. This
allows bandwidth management per protocol, set of endstations (source and/or destination), and/or IP ToS
field. Configuring the service management is a 3-stage process:
1. Defining sets of address ranges in the address definitions menu
2. Defining IP/UDP/TCP/ICMP protocol definitions in the protocol definitions menu
3. Applying address range matches against source and/or destination addresses in combination with
matching IP TOS fields and protocol definitions to determine a filter disposition. This disposition is
to either forward a packet down a specific tributary or discard the packet.
If no match is found in the configured filter table for a packet, then standard destination address IP
routing is performed.
The Service Management feature allows the V100 administrator to perform IP filtering and forwarding
decisions based on fields within the protocol header. This allows bandwidth management per protocol, set
of endstations (source and/or destination) and/or IP Type of Service (ToS) field.
NOTE: Service Management applies only to IP routed traffic. It does not apply to bridged
traffic. Traffic forwarded by the PEP feature is also subject to Service Management.
