6.5.10 QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) allows you to assign a priority to various applications, users, or data flows, or guarantee
a specific level of performance to a data flow. QoS guarantees are important if network capacity is insufficient,
particularly for real-time streaming multimedia applications, such as voice-over-P and video teleconferencing.
These applications often require a fixed bit rate. They are also delay sensitive and are in networks where capacity
is a limited resource—for example, cellular data communication. In the absence of network congestion, QoS
mechanisms are not required.
QoS Global Settings
To configure QoS policy, choose Configure-->QoS-->Global Settings. You can choose an 8-4-2-1 queuing
scheme, a strict priority scheme, or select a priority type.
Figure 66 QoS Global Settings
QoS Mode Select from the following modes, or select “Disable” to turn off QoS.
• Port Based—The output priority is determined by the ingress port.
• COS Only—The output priority is determined by COS (Class of Service) only.
• TOS Only—The output priority is determined by TOS (Type of Service) only.
• COS First—The output priority is determined by COS and TOS, but COS first.
• TOS First— The output priority is determined by COS and TOS, but TOS first.
QoS Policy Select the QoS policy rule:
Using the 8,4,2,1 weight fair queue scheme—The switch will follow 8:4:2:1 rate to
process priority queue from the highest to the lowest queue. For example, 8 high
queue packets, 4 middle queue packets, 2 low queue packets, and 1 lowest queue
packet are all transmitted at the same time, in accordance with the 8,4,2,1 policy rule.
Use a strict priority scheme—The switch will always process packets in the higher
queue first, until the higher queue is empty.
Apply Click to apply the settings.
