Chapter 1 Document scope 1 Document scope Introduction The SpeedTouch™ Release 5.3.0 has a strong Quality of Service (QoS) base that allows classification and forwarding of data to a single or multiple ATM VPI/VCIs with each a set of ATMQoS parameters. IP Quality of Service is an extension to this QoS framework. This configuration guide presents: An introduction on IPQoS An overview of the IPQoS framework An overview of the labels, rules and expressions An overview of the queue, meters an

Chapter 2 Introduction 2.1 What is Quality of Service? Definition Quality of Service is the ability for an application to obtain the network service it requires for successful operation. Nowadays the total amount of data traffic increases, while new types of data emerge, like: voice data, video data, audio data. These new types of data pose new requirements for data transport, e.g. low latency, low data loss… To meet these requirements, the entire network must ensure them via a connection se

Chapter 2 Introduction Bandwidth versus QoS Quality of Service is really best noticed when the Best Effort service encounters congestion. So a common question is "why not provide more bandwidth, use Best Effort, and get rid of complicated QoS architectures?" There are four answers: First of all, it is less economic to use more bandwidth than to use QoS. Many congestion problems can be resolved by using QoS. The second reason is, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks can always fill links. Even

Chapter 2 Introduction 2.2 Relative versus Guaranteed QoS Types of QoS There are two different approaches to achieve QoS: Guaranteed QoS: Measurable connection parameters are specified for certain data or for a connection, for example a guaranteed amount of bandwidth or delay across the network. This allows for an exact specification and measurement of the Quality of Service of data or a connection. Examples of “guaranteed QoS” are Integrated Services (IntServ) and ATM QoS like VBR and CBR

Chapter 3 Basic QoS Concepts 3.1 Precedence and TOS Introduction There are two generations of quality of service architectures in the Internet Protocol. The interpretation of the Type of Service Octet in the Internet Protocol header varies between these two generations. The figure below shows the Internet Protocol header.

Chapter 3 Basic QoS Concepts 3.2 Differentiated Services Introduction Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is an architecture which allows service providers to offer different kinds of services to different customers and their traffic streams. Differentiated Services is a framework for scalable service discrimination and allows an approach to modular IPQoS objectives for the needs of various types of applications. The premise to DiffServ networks is that routers within the core of the network
