All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 VF UK EDN RFI Presentation| September 2007 Queues The OmniSwitch 9000 and the OmniSwitch 6850 provide 8 Class of Service (CoS) Queues per egress port for prioritizing and scheduling traffic. - Traffic is assigned a CoS queue based on it matching a QoS policy rule that has priority assignment as an action of the rule. - Traffic received on a trusted port is assigned a CoS queue based on the DSCP value for IP traffic or based on the 802.1p value for non-IP traffic. - Traffic received on an untrusted port is assigned a QoS queue based on the default priority defined for the ingress port on which the traffic is received.

12. All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 VF UK EDN RFI Presentation| September 2007 Recommendations For a very good audio quality (close to the MOS score of 4) · Network round trip delay must be less than 150ms, · Jitter must be less than 20ms, · Packet loss must be less than 1%. For an acceptable audio quality (slightly superior to the MOS score of 3) · Network round trip delay must be less than 400ms, · Jitter must be less than 50ms, · Packet loss must be less than 3%. To meet these criteria and especially for maintaining voice quality, a VoIP call cannot experience more than one voice compression/ decompression operations (with G729A or 723.1) Fax over IP communications are very sensitive to packet loss. Therefore, the QoS profile for FoIP is: · Network round trip delay must be less than 400ms, · Jitter must be less than 50ms, · Packet loss must be less than 1%. These values correspond to worst-case scenarios because the redundancy mechanisms built into the fax machine mechanism is not taken account.

13. All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2007 VF UK EDN RFI Presentation| September 2007 Upcoming QOS enhancements Auto-Qos on NMS traffic - Auto NMS prioritizes NMS traffic to the switch and aims to alleviate access problems to the switch under DOS attacks. NMS traffic is identified as SSH(TCP Port 22), Telnet(TCP Port 23), Webview (HTTP Port 80) and SNMP(TCP port 161). Each of the above traffic patterns are switched into different queues to maximize the possibility of making the switch manageable/accessible via at least one method(viz. SSH, Telnet, Webview or SNMP Auto-Qos on CSBU appliances - By default the switch will trust all traffic detected as originating from CSBU IP phones. Detection is achieved by matching on the MAC address range used by CSBU IP phones. The MAC address range used by the CSBU IP phones are 00-80-9F-54-xx-xx 00-80- 9F-64-xx-xx and 00-80-9F-66-xx-xx 00-80-9F-6F-xx-xx. Additionally the user can specify up-to 4 MACs or MAC ranges that need to be accorded the same QoS as the CSBU IP phones, by specifying the list in the special MAC group
