Feature Overview

RSVP typically performs admission control, classification, policing, and scheduling of data packets on a per-flow basis and keeps a database of information for each flow. RSVP scalability enhancements let you select a resource provider (formerly called a quality of service (QoS) provider) and disable data packet classification so that RSVP performs admission control only. This facilitates integration with service provider (differentiated services (DiffServ)) networks and enables scalability across enterprise networks.

Class-based weighted fair queueing (CBWFQ) provides the classification, policing, and scheduling functions. CBWFQ puts packets into classes based on the differentiated services code point (DSCP) value in the packet's IP header, thereby eliminating the need for per-flow state and per-flow processing.

Figure 1 shows two enterprise networks interconnected through a service provider (SP) network. The SP network has an IP backbone configured as a DiffServ network. Each enterprise network has a voice gateway connected to an SP edge/aggregation router via a WAN link. The enterprise networks are connected to a private branch exchange (PBX).

Figure 1

RSVP/DiffServ Integration Topology

The voice gateways are running classic RSVP, which means RSVP is keeping a state per flow and also classifying, marking, and scheduling packets on a per-flow basis. The edge/aggregation routers are running classic RSVP on the interfaces (labeled C and D) connected to the voice gateways and running RSVP for admission control only on the interfaces connected to core routers 1 and 3. The core routers in the DiffServ network are not running RSVP, but are forwarding the RSVP messages to the next hop. The core routers inside the DiffServ network implement a specific per hop behavior (PHB) for a collection of flows that have the same DSCP value.

The voice gateways identify voice data packets and set the appropriate DSCP in their IP headers such that the packets are classified into the priority class in the edge/aggregation routers and in core routers 1, 2, 3 or 1, 4, 3.

The interfaces or the edge/aggregation routers (labeled A and B) connected to core routers 1 and 3 are running RSVP, but are doing admission control only per flow against the RSVP bandwidth pool configured on the DiffServ interfaces of the edge/aggregation routers. CBWFQ is performing the classification, policing, and scheduling functions.

Benefits

Enhanced Scalability

RSVP scalability enhancements handle similar flows on a per-class basis instead of a per-flow basis. Since fewer resources are required to maintain per-class QoS guarantees, faster processing results, thereby enhancing scalability.

Improved Router Performance

RSVP scalability enhancements improve router performance by reducing the cost for data packet classification and scheduling, which decrease CPU resource consumption. The saved resources can then be used for other network management functions.

Restrictions

•Sources should not send marked packets without an installed reservation.

•Sources should not send marked packets that exceed the reserved bandwidth.

•Sources should not send marked packets to a destination other than the reserved path.

Related Features and Technologies

The RSVP scalability enhancements are related to QoS features such as signalling, classification, and congestion management. (See the section on "Related Documents".)

RFCs

•RFC 2205, Resource Reservation Protocol

Prerequisites

The network must support the following Cisco IOS features before the RSVP scalability enhancements are enabled:

•Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)

•Class-based weighted fair queueing (CBWFQ)

Configuration Tasks

See the following sections for configuration tasks for the RSVP scalability enhancements. Each task in the list indicates whether the task is optional or required.

•Enabling RSVP on an Interface (required)

•Setting the Resource Provider (required)

•Disabling Data Packet Classification (required)

•Configuring Class and Policy Maps (required)

•Attaching a Policy Map to an Interface (required)

Enabling RSVP on an Interface

To enable RSVP on an interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Router(config-if)# ip rsvp bandwidth [interface-kbps] [single-flow-kbps]

Enables RSVP on an interface.

Note The bandwidth that you configure on the interface must match the bandwidth that you configure for the CBWFQ priority queue. See the section on "Configuration Examples".

Setting the Resource Provider

Note Resource provider was formerly called QoS provider.

To set the resource provider, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Router(config-if)# ip rsvp resource-provider none

Sets the resource provider to none.

Note Setting the resource provider to none instructs RSVP to not associate any resources, such as WFQ queues or bandwidth, with a reservation.

Disabling Data Packet Classification

To turn off (disable) data packet classification, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Router(config-if)# ip rsvp data-packet classification none

Disables data packet classification.

Note Disabling data packet classification instructs RSVP not to process every packet, but to perform admission control only.

Configuring Class and Policy Maps

To configure class and policy maps, use the following commands in global configuration mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# class-map class-map-name

Specifies the name of the class for which you want to create or modify class map match criteria.

Step 2 

Router(config)# policy-map policy-map-name

Specifies the name of the policy map to be created, added to, or modified before you can configure policies for classes whose match criteria are defined in a class map.

Attaching a Policy Map to an Interface

To attach a policy map to an interface, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Router(config-if)# service-policy {input | output} policy-map-name

Attaches a single policy map to one or more interfaces to specify the service policy for those interfaces.

Note If at the time you configure the RSVP scalability enhancements, there are existing reservations that use classic RSVP, no additional marking, classification, or scheduling is provided for these flows. You can also delete these reservations after you configure the RSVP scalability enhancements.

Verifying RSVP Scalability Enhancements Configuration

To verify RSVP scalability enhancements, use this procedure:

Step 1 Enter the show ip rsvp interface detail command to display information about interfaces, subinterfaces, resource providers, and data packet classification. The output in the following example shows that the ATM 6/0 interface has resource provider none configured and data packet classification is turned off: 

Router# show ip rsvp interface detail 


 AT6/0:

   Bandwidth:

     Curr allocated: 190K bits/sec

     Max. allowed (total): 112320K bits/sec

     Max. allowed (per flow): 112320K bits/sec

   Neighbors:

     Using IP encap: 1.  Using UDP encaps: 0

   DSCP value used in Path/Resv msgs: 0x30

   RSVP Data Packet Classification is OFF

   RSVP resource provider is: none

Note The last two lines in the preceding output verify that the RSVP scalability enhancements (disabled data packet classification and resource provider none) are present.

Step 2 Enter the show ip rsvp installed detail command to display information about interfaces, subinterfaces, their admitted reservations, bandwidth, resource providers, and data packet classification. 

Router# show ip rsvp installed detail

Router(config-pmap)# class voice


Router(config-pmap-c)# priority 24


Router(config-pmap-c)# end

Note The bandwidth that you configured for the CBWFQ priority queue (24 kbps) must match the bandwidth that you configured for the interface. See the section "Enabling RSVP on an Interface".

The following output shows an access list being configured: 

Router# configure terminal


Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.


Router(config)# access-list 100 permit udp any any range 16384 32500

Glossary

admission control—The process in which an RSVP reservation is accepted or rejected based on end-to-end available network resources.

aggregate—A collection of packets with the same DSCP.

bandwidth—The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. This term also describes the rated throughput capacity of a given network medium or protocol.

CBWFQ—class-based weighted fair queueing. A queueing mechanism that extends the standard WFQ functionality to provide support for user-defined traffic classes.

Class-based weighted fair queueing—See CBWFQ.

differentiated services—See DiffServ.

differentiated services code point—See DSCP.

DiffServ—An architecture based on a simple model where traffic entering a network is classified and possibly conditioned at the boundaries of the network. The class of traffic is then identified with a DS code point or bit marking in the IP header. Within the core of the network, packets are forwarded according to the per-hop behavior associated with the DS code point.

DSCP—differentiated services code point. The six most significant bits of the 1-byte IP type of service (ToS) field. The per-hop behavior represented by a particular DSCP value is configurable. DSCP values range between 0 and 63.

enterprise network—A large and diverse network connecting most major points in a company or other organization.

flow—A stream of data traveling between two endpoints across a network (for example, from one LAN station to another). Multiple flows can be transmitted on a single circuit.

packet—A logical grouping of information that includes a header containing control information and (usually) user data. Packets most often refer to network layer units of data.

PBX—private branch exchange. A digital or analog telephone switchboard located on the subscriber premises and used to connect private and public telephone networks.

PHB—per-hop behavior. A DiffServ concept that specifies how specifically marked packets are to be treated by each DiffServ router.

QoS—quality of service. A measure of performance for a transmission system that reflects its transmission quality and service availability.

quality of service—See QoS.

Resource Reservation Protocol—See RSVP.

RSVP—Resource Reservation Protocol. A protocol for reserving network resources to provide quality of service guarantees to application flows.

Voice over IP—See VoIP.

VoIP—Voice over IP. The ability to carry normal telephony-style voice over an IP-based internet maintaining telephone-like functionality, reliability, and voice quality.

weighted fair queueing—See WFQ.

WFQ—weighted fair queueing. A queue management algorithm that provides a certain fraction of link bandwidth to each of several queues, based on relative bandwidth applied to each of the queues.
