QoS: ATM-CLP and Layer 2 CoS-Based WRED

---

First Published: May 7, 2004

Last Updated: February 28, 2006

The QoS: ATM-CLP and Layer 2 CoS-Based WRED feature extends the functionality of the Cisco Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) software. With the QoS: ATM-CLP and Layer 2 CoS-Based WRED feature, WRED can take into account the Layer 2 Class of Service (CoS) value of a packet and the ATM cell loss priority (CLP) of a packet when calculating the drop probability of network traffic.

Information About the QoS: ATM-CLP and Layer 2 CoS-Based WRED Feature

To configure the QoS: ATM-CLP and Layer 2 CoS-Based WRED feature, you should understand the following concepts:

•QoS: ATM-CLP and Layer 2 CoS-Based WRED Feature Benefits

•WRED Functionality

QoS: ATM-CLP and Layer 2 CoS-Based WRED Feature Benefits

Extends WRED Functionality

WRED can be used as the mechanism to preferentially drop packets. WRED is able to determine the minimum and the maximum thresholds for computing the drop probability of the packet on the basis of the IP Precedence or differentiated services code point (DSCP) values.

With this new feature, WRED can now determine the minimum and maximum thresholds for computing the drop probability of the packet on the basis of the Layer 2 CoS values and the ATM CLP.

WRED Functionality

WRED makes early detection of congestion possible and provides a means for handling multiple classes of traffic. WRED can selectively discard lower priority traffic when the router begins to experience congestion and provide differentiated performance characteristics for different classes of service. It also protects against global synchronization. Global synchronization occurs as waves of congestion crest, only to be followed by periods of time during which the transmission link is not used to capacity. For these reasons, WRED is useful on any output interface or router where congestion is expected to occur.

WRED is implemented at the core routers of a network. Edge routers assign IP precedences to packets as the packets enter the network. With WRED, core routers then use these precedences to determine how to treat different types of traffic. WRED provides separate thresholds and weights for different IP precedences, enabling the network to provide different qualities of service, in regard to packet dropping, for different types of traffic. Standard traffic may be dropped more frequently than premium traffic during periods of congestion.

ATM Shared Port Adapter

show policy-map interface atm slot/subslot/port[.subinterface]

Syntax Description

type access-control	(Optional) Displays class maps configured to determine the exact pattern to look for in the protocol stack of interest.
interface-name	Name of the interface or subinterface whose policy configuration is to be displayed.
vc	(Optional) For ATM interfaces only, shows the policy configuration for a specified PVC. The name can be up to 16 characters long.
vpi/	(Optional) ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) for this PVC. On the Cisco 7200 and 7500 series routers, this value ranges from 0 to 255. The vpi and vci arguments cannot both be set to 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.
vci	(Optional) ATM network virtual channel identifier (VCI) for this PVC. This value ranges from 0 to 1 less than the maximum value set for this interface by the atm vc-per-vp command. Typically, the lower values 0 to 31 are reserved for specific traffic (F4 Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM), switched virtual circuit (SVC) signaling, Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI), and so on) and should not be used. The VCI is a 16-bit field in the header of the ATM cell. The VCI value is unique only on a single link, not throughout the ATM network, because it has local significance only. The vpi and vci arguments cannot both be set to 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.
dlci	(Optional) Indicates that a specific PVC for which policy configuration will be displayed.
dlci	(Optional) A specific data-link connection identifier (DLCI) number used on the interface. Policy configuration for the corresponding PVC will be displayed when a DLCI is specified.
input	(Optional) Indicates that the statistics for the attached input policy will be displayed.
output	(Optional) Indicates that the statistics for the attached output policy will be displayed.
slot	(ATM Shared Port Adapter only) Chassis slot number. Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for slot information. For SIPs, refer to the platform-specific SPA hardware installation guide or the corresponding "Identifying Slots and Subslots for SIPs and SPAs" topic in the platform-specific SPA software configuration guide.
/subslot	(ATM Shared Port Adapter only) Secondary slot number on a SPA interface processor (SIP) where a SPA is installed. Refer to the platform-specific SPA hardware installation guide and the corresponding "Specifying the Interface Address on a SPA" topic in the platform-specific SPA software configuration guide for subslot information.
/port	(ATM Shared Port Adapter only) Port or interface number. Refer to the appropriate hardware manual for port information. For SPAs, refer to the corresponding "Specifying the Interface Address" topics in the platform-specific SPA software configuration guide.
.subinterface	(ATM Shared Port Adapter only—Optional) Subinterface number. The number that precedes the period must match the number to which this subinterface belongs. The range is 1 to 4,294,967,293.

Defaults

The absence of both the forward slash (/) and a vpi value defaults the vpi value to 0. If this value is omitted, information for all virtual circuits (VCs) on the specified ATM interface or subinterface is displayed.

Usage Guidelines

The show policy-map interface command displays the packet statistics for classes on the specified interface or the specified PVC only if a service policy has been attached to the interface or the PVC.

You can use the interface-name argument to display output for a PVC only for enhanced ATM port adapters (PA-A3) that support per-VC queueing.

The counters displayed after the show policy-map interface command is entered are updated only if congestion is present on the interface.

The show policy-map interface command displays policy information about Frame Relay PVCs only if Frame Relay Traffic Shaping (FRTS) is enabled on the interface.

The show policy-map interface command displays ECN marking information only if ECN is enabled on the interface.

To determine if shaping is active with HQF, check the queue depth field of the "(queue depth/total drops/no-buffer drops)" line in the show policy-map interface command output.

Table 2 describes significant fields commonly shown in the displays. The fields in the table are grouped according to the relevant QoS feature.

Table 2 show policy-map interface Field Descriptions ¹  

Field	Description
Fields Associated with Classes or Service Policies
Service-policy output	Name of the output service policy applied to the specified interface or VC.
Class-map	Class of traffic being displayed. Output is displayed for each configured class in the policy. The choice for implementing class matches (for example, match-all or match-any) can also appear next to the traffic class.
packets and bytes	Number of packets (also shown in bytes) identified as belonging to the class of traffic being displayed.
offered rate	Rate, in kbps, of packets coming in to the class. Note If the packets are compressed over an outgoing interface, the improved packet rate achieved by packet compression is not reflected in the offered rate. Also, if the packets are classified before they enter a combination of tunnels (for example, a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel and an IP Security (IPSec) tunnel), the offered rate does not include all the extra overhead associated with tunnel encapsulation in general. Depending on the configuration, the offered rate may include no overhead, may include the overhead for only one tunnel encapsulation, or may include the overhead for all tunnel encapsulations. In most of the GRE and IPSec tunnel configurations, the offered rate includes the overhead for GRE tunnel encapsulation only.
drop rate	Rate, in kbps, at which packets are dropped from the class. The drop rate is calculated by subtracting the number of successfully transmitted packets from the offered rate.
Note In distributed architecture platforms (such as the C7500), the value of the transfer rate, calculated as the difference between the offered rate and the drop rate counters, can sporadically deviate from the average by up to 20 percent or more. This can occur while no corresponding burst is registered by independent traffic analyser equipment.
Match	Match criteria specified for the class of traffic. Choices include criteria such as IP precedence, IP differentiated services code point (DSCP) value, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental (EXP) value, access groups, and QoS groups. For more information about the variety of match criteria options available, refer to the chapter "Configuring the Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface" in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.
Fields Associated with Queueing (If Enabled)
Output Queue	The weighted fair queueing (WFQ) conversation to which this class of traffic is allocated.
Bandwidth	Bandwidth, in either kbps or percentage, configured for this class and the burst size.
pkts matched/bytes matched	Number of packets (also shown in bytes) matching this class that were placed in the queue. This number reflects the total number of matching packets queued at any time. Packets matching this class are queued only when congestion exists. If packets match the class but are never queued because the network was not congested, those packets are not included in this total. However, if process switching is in use, the number of packets is always incremented even if the network is not congested.
depth/total drops/no-buffer drops	Number of packets discarded for this class. No-buffer indicates that no memory buffer exists to service the packet.
Fields Associated with Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) (If Enabled)
exponential weight	Exponent used in the average queue size calculation for a WRED parameter group.
mean queue depth	Average queue depth based on the actual queue depth on the interface and the exponential weighting constant. It is a fluctuating average. The minimum and maximum thresholds are compared against this value to determine drop decisions.
class	IP precedence level.
Transmitted pkts/bytes	Number of packets (also shown in bytes) passed through WRED and not dropped by WRED. Note If there is insufficient memory in the buffer to accommodate the packet, the packet can be dropped after the packet passes through WRED. Packets dropped because of insufficient memory in the buffer (sometimes referred to as "no-buffer drops") are not taken into account by the WRED packet counter.
Random drop pkts/bytes	Number of packets (also shown in bytes) randomly dropped when the mean queue depth is between the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value for the specified IP precedence level.
Tail drop pkts/bytes	Number of packets dropped when the mean queue depth is greater than the maximum threshold value for the specified IP precedence level.
Minimum thresh	Minimum threshold. Minimum WRED threshold in number of packets.
Maximum thresh	Maximum threshold. Maximum WRED threshold in number of packets.
Mark prob	Mark probability. Fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold.
Fields Associated with Traffic Shaping (If Enabled)
Target Rate	Rate used for shaping traffic.
Byte Limit	Maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted per interval. Calculated as follows: ((Bc+Be) /8) x 1
Sustain bits/int	Committed burst (Bc) rate.
Excess bits/int	Excess burst (Be) rate.
Interval (ms)	Time interval value in milliseconds (ms).
Increment (bytes)	Number of credits (in bytes) received in the token bucket of the traffic shaper during each time interval.
Queue Depth	Current queue depth of the traffic shaper.
Packets	Total number of packets that have entered the traffic shaper system.
Bytes	Total number of bytes that have entered the traffic shaper system.
Packets Delayed	Total number of packets delayed in the queue of the traffic shaper before being transmitted.
Bytes Delayed	Total number of bytes delayed in the queue of the traffic shaper before being transmitted.
Shaping Active	Indicates whether the traffic shaper is active. For example, if a traffic shaper is active, and the traffic being sent exceeds the traffic shaping rate, a "yes" appears in this field.

1 A number in parentheses may appear next to the service-policy output name, class-map name, and match criteria information. The number is for Cisco internal use only and can be disregarded.

Table 3 describes the significant fields shown in the display when aggregate WRED is configured for an ATM shared port adapter.

Table 3 show policy-map interface Field Descriptions—Configured for Aggregate WRED on ATM Shared Port Adapter

Field	Description
exponential weight	Exponent used in the average queue size calculation for a Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) parameter group.
mean queue depth	Average queue depth based on the actual queue depth on the interface and the exponential weighting constant. It is a fluctuating average. The minimum and maximum thresholds are compared against this value to determine drop decisions.
Note When Aggregate Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) is enabled, the following WRED statistics will be aggregated based on their subclass (either their IP precedence or differentiated services code point (DSCP) value).
class	IP precedence level or differentiated services code point (DSCP) value.
Transmitted pkts/bytes	Number of packets (also shown in bytes) passed through WRED and not dropped by WRED. Note If there is insufficient memory in the buffer to accommodate the packet, the packet can be dropped after the packet passes through WRED. Packets dropped because of insufficient memory in the buffer (sometimes referred to as "no-buffer drops") are not taken into account by the WRED packet counter.
Random drop pkts/bytes	Number of packets (also shown in bytes) randomly dropped when the mean queue depth is between the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value for the specified IP precedence level or DSCP value.
Tail drop pkts/bytes	Number of packets dropped when the mean queue depth is greater than the maximum threshold value for the specified IP precedence level or DSCP value.
Minimum thresh	Minimum threshold. Minimum WRED threshold in number of packets.
Maximum thresh	Maximum threshold. Maximum WRED threshold in number of packets.
Mark prob	Mark probability. Fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold.

Frame Relay Voice-Adaptive Traffic-Shaping show policy interface Command Example

The following sample output shows that Frame Relay voice-adaptive traffic shaping is currently active and has 29 seconds left on the deactivation timer. With traffic shaping active and the deactivation time set, this means that the current sending rate on DLCI 201 is minCIR, but if no voice packets are detected for 29 seconds, the sending rate will increase to CIR.

Table 8 show policy-map interface Field Descriptions—Configured for Class-Based RTP and TCP Header Compression¹  

Field	Description
Service-policy output	Name of the output service policy applied to the specified interface or VC.
Class-map	Class of traffic being displayed. Output is displayed for each configured class in the policy. The choice for implementing class matches (for example, match-all or match-any) can also appear next to the traffic class.
packets, bytes	Number of packets (also shown in bytes) identified as belonging to the class of traffic being displayed.
offered rate	Rate, in kbps, of packets coming in to the class. Note If the packets are compressed over an outgoing interface, the improved packet rate achieved by packet compression is not reflected in the offered rate. Also, if the packets are classified before they enter a combination of tunnels (for example, a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel and an IP Security (IPSec) tunnel), the offered rate does not include all the extra overhead associated with tunnel encapsulation in general. Depending on the configuration, the offered rate may include no overhead, may include the overhead for only one tunnel encapsulation, or may include the overhead for all tunnel encapsulations. In most of the GRE and IPSec tunnel configurations, the offered rate includes the overhead for GRE tunnel encapsulation only.
UDP/RTP Compression	Indicates that RTP header compression has been configured for the class.
Sent total	Count of every packet sent, both compressed packets and full-header packets.
Sent compressed	Count of number of compressed packets sent.
bytes saved	Total number of bytes saved (that is, bytes not needing to be sent).
bytes sent	Total number of bytes sent for both compressed and full-header packets.
efficiency improvement factor	The percentage of increased bandwidth efficiency as a result of header compression. For example, with RTP streams, the efficiency improvement factor can be as much as 2.9 (or 290 percent).
hit ratio	Used mainly for troubleshooting purposes, this is the percentage of packets found in the context database. In most instances, this percentage should be high.
five minute miss rate	The number of new traffic flows found in the last five minutes.
misses/sec max	The average number of new traffic flows found per second, and the highest rate of new traffic flows to date.
rate	The actual traffic rate (in bits per second) after the packets are compressed.

Depending on the configuration, the offered rate may include no overhead, may include the overhead for only one tunnel encapsulation, or may include the overhead for all tunnel encapsulations. In most of the GRE and IPSec tunnel configurations, the offered rate includes the overhead for GRE tunnel encapsulation only.
drop rate	Rate, in kbps, at which packets are dropped from the class. The drop rate is calculated by subtracting the number of successfully transmitted packets from the offered rate.
Note In distributed architecture platforms (such as the C7500), the value of the tranfer rate, calculated as the difference between the offered rate and the drop rate counters, can sporadically diviate from the average by up to 20 percent or more. This can occur while no corresponding burst is registered by independent traffic analyser equipment
Match	Match criteria specified for the class of traffic. Choices include criteria such as the Layer 3 packet length, IP precedence, IP DSCP value, MPLS experimental value, access groups, and QoS groups. For more information about the variety of match criteria options available, refer to the chapter "Configuring the Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface" in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.
drop	Indicates that the packet discarding action for all the packets belonging to the specified class has been configured.

Table 11 show policy-map interface Field Descriptions—Configured for Percentage-Based Policing and Shaping (with Traffic Shaping Enabled)¹  

Field	Description
Service-policy output	Name of the output service policy applied to the specified interface or VC.
Class-map	Class of traffic being displayed. Output is displayed for each configured class in the policy. The choice for implementing class matches (for example, match-all or match-any) can also appear next to the traffic class.
packets, bytes	Number of packets (also shown in bytes) identified as belonging to the class of traffic being displayed.
offered rate	Rate, in kbps, of packets coming in to the class. Note If the packets are compressed over an outgoing interface, the improved packet rate achieved by packet compression is not reflected in the offered rate. Also, if the packets are classified before they enter a combination of tunnels (for example, a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel and an IP Security (IPSec) tunnel), the offered rate does not include all the extra overhead associated with tunnel encapsulation in general. Depending on the configuration, the offered rate may include no overhead, may include the overhead for only one tunnel encapsulation, or may include the overhead for all tunnel encapsulations. In most of the GRE and IPSec tunnel configurations, the offered rate includes the overhead for GRE tunnel encapsulation only.
drop rate	Rate, in kbps, at which packets are dropped from the class. The drop rate is calculated by subtracting the number of successfully transmitted packets from the offered rate.
Match	Match criteria specified for the class of traffic. Choices include criteria such as the Layer 3 packet length, IP precedence, IP DSCP value, MPLS experimental value, access groups, and quality of service (QoS) groups. For more information about the variety of match criteria options that are available, refer to the chapter "Configuring the Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface" in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide, Release 12.2.
Traffic Shaping	Indicates that traffic shaping based on a percentage of bandwidth has been enabled.
Target /Average Rate	Rate (percentage) used for shaping traffic and the number of packets meeting that rate.
Byte Limit	Maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted per interval. Calculated as follows: ((Bc+Be) /8 ) x 1
Sustain bits/int	Committed burst (Bc) rate.
Excess bits/int	Excess burst (Be) rate.
Interval (ms)	Time interval value in milliseconds (ms).
Increment (bytes)	Number of credits (in bytes) received in the token bucket of the traffic shaper during each time interval.
Adapt Active	Indicates whether adaptive shaping is enabled.
Queue Depth	Current queue depth of the traffic shaper.
Packets	Total number of packets that have entered the traffic shaper system.
Bytes	Total number of bytes that have entered the traffic shaper system.
Packets Delayed	Total number of packets delayed in the queue of the traffic shaper before being transmitted.
Bytes Delayed	Total number of bytes delayed in the queue of the traffic shaper before being transmitted.
Shaping Active	Indicates whether the traffic shaper is active. For example, if a traffic shaper is active, and the traffic being sent exceeds the traffic shaping rate, a "yes" appears in this field.

Traffic Policing show policy-map interface Command Example

The following is sample output from the show policy-map interface command. This sample displays the statistics for the serial 2/0 interface on which traffic policing has been enabled. The committed (conform) burst (bc) and excess (peak) burst (be) are specified in milliseconds (ms).

Router# show policy-map interface serial2/0

 Serial2/0 

  Service-policy output: policy1 (1050)

    Class-map: class1 (match-all) (1051/1)

      0 packets, 0 bytes

      5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps

      Match: ip precedence 0  (1052)

      police:

          transmit 

        exceeded 0 packets, 0 bytes; actions:

      5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps

      Match: any  (1055)

        0 packets, 0 bytes

        5 minute rate 0 bps

In this example, the CIR and PIR are displayed in bps, and both the committed burst (bc) and excess burst (be) are displayed in bits.

The CIR, PIR bc, and be are calculated on the basis of the formulas described below.

Formula for Calculating the CIR

When calculating the CIR, the following formula is used:

•CIR percentage specified (as shown in the output from the show policy-map command) * bandwidth (BW) of the interface (as shown in the output from the show interfaces command) = total bits per second

According to the output from the show interfaces command for the serial 2/0 interface, the interface has a bandwidth (BW) of 2048 kbps.

Router # show interfaces serial2/0

Serial2/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down 
  Hardware is M4T 
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 2048 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 

The following values are used for calculating the CIR:

20 % * 2048 kbps = 409600 bps

Formula for Calculating the PIR

When calculating the PIR, the following formula is used:

•PIR percentage specified (as shown in the output from the show policy-map command) * bandwidth (BW) of the interface (as shown in the output from the show interfaces command) = total bits per second

According to the output from the show interfaces command for the serial 2/0 interface, the interface has a bandwidth (BW) of 2048 kbps.

Router # show interfaces serial2/0

Serial2/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down  
  Hardware is M4T 
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 2048 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 

The following values are used for calculating the PIR:

40 % * 2048 kbps = 819200 bps

---

Note Discrepancies between this total and the total shown in the output from the show policy-map interface command can be attributed to a rounding calculation or to differences associated with the specific interface configuration.

---

Formula for Calculating the Committed Burst (bc)

When calculating the bc, the following formula is used:

•The bc in milliseconds (as shown in the show policy-map command) * the CIR in bits per seconds = total number bytes

The following values are used for calculating the bc:

300 ms * 409600 bps = 15360 bytes

Formula for Calculating the Excess Burst (be)

When calculating the bc and the be, the following formula is used:

•The be in milliseconds (as shown in the show policy-map command) * the PIR in bits per seconds = total number bytes

The following values are used for calculating the be:

400 ms * 819200 bps = 40960 bytes

Bandwidth Estimation show policy-map interface Command Example

The following sample output from the show policy-map interface command displays statistics for the FastEthernet 0/1 interface on which bandwidth estimates for quality of service (QoS) targets have been generated.

The Bandwidth Estimation section indicates that bandwidth estimates for QoS targets have been defined. These targets include the packet loss rate, the packet delay rate, and the timeframe in milliseconds. Confidence refers to the drop-one-in value (as a percentage) of the targets. Corvil Bandwidth means the bandwidth estimate in kilobits per second.

When no drop or delay targets are specified, "none specified, falling back to drop no more than one packet in 500" appears in the output.
