8 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Premium IP Model  End-to-end service across multiple management domains  using diffserv, ATM CBR or over-provisioning(!)  packet tagged DSCP 46 (EF - 101110)  destination aware service  packet with other DSCP are left untouched (packets from other service)  Premium IP bandwidth limited to 10% of the link capacity  can cope with 20% in case of circuit failure

10 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Premium IP on GEANT  Protection of authorised Premium IP traffic  under normal circumstances, the Premium IP traffic of a circuit is limited to 10% of the circuit capacity  20% in case of another circuit failure  bullet-proof all the GÉANT accesses against unauthorised Premium IP traffic (tagged DSCP 46) on all the ingress interfaces  if DSCP 46 packet arrives on GÉANT and part of an unauthorised flow: classify the packet into the Best Effort queue and remark it as Best Effort (DSCP 0)  if DSCP 46 packet arrives on GÉANT and is part of an authorised flow: check against policer according capacity requested in the SLA (in-profile accepted, out-of-profile dropped)

11 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Premium IP on GEANT  Protection of authorised Premium IP traffic [cont]  per next AS rate-limitation (implemented by Juniper for GÉANT)  can also do source-destination IP addresses when NREN don’t do it. (NREN = National Research & Education Network, a Dante customer network directly connected to GEANT)  Trust the Premium IP traffic received from a GÉANT backbone interface.  Traffic checked at the GÉANT ingresses.  Configure queuing mechanism on the backbone and access interfaces.  strict-high priority is configured to the Premium IP queue.  Don’t forget that the amount of Premium traffic expected in the Premium IP queue is 10% of the link capacity (service over- provisioned by a factor 9); this is assured by ingress policing.  90% for the BE and 5% for the network control (and 5% for LBE)

14 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Less than Best Effort  Class of traffic using the un-utilised Best effort and higher classes of service bandwidth  in case of competition for resources, the LBE traffic will de discarded before any Best-Effort or higher classes of traffic.  use the DSCP 8 (001000) - same as Internet2 scavenger service.  Congestion on an interface due to LBE  should be transparent to the BE or higher classes of services  no BE or higher classes of services packet loss

15 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Less than Best Effort  No end-to-end guarantees  no metric needed to quantitatively describe the service  Can be supported on one interface  anywhere else, the LBE tagging should be passed transparently.  Application scenarios  mirroring, test traffic, some GRID data transfers, network backups, protection of research traffic from student dormitory one.

16 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net LBE Queuing Technique  For algorithm with bandwidth shared assignment, as Weighted Wound Robin and Weighted Fair Queuing, a very small bandwidth share is allocated to the LBE queue.  Typically between 0% and 5%

17 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net LBE: Measurement with congestion  One-way delay  Increase of LBE maximum one-way delay of 1.5ms  Increase of BE maximum one-way delay of 400µs

18 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net   Normal Traffic   Normal Traffic + Less Than Best Effort 2.0 Gbit/s   Normal Traffic + Radio Astronomy Data 500 Mbit/s   Normal Traffic + Radio Astronomy Data + Less Than Best Effort 2.0 Gbit/s LBE live test: ER2002 Demo - VLBI - dataGRID

20 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Queuing Technique  WRR - Juniper M-series  Weight  Assure the queue to be given a minimum amount of bandwidth proportional to the weight.  Priority  queue with high priority are served before the low priority  allow the BE (and other high priority queues) to be served first until empty before serving the LBE one.  WRED  is used to limit the queuing delay in case of congestion  use to protect one class of traffic over the other within a queue.

In addition to the three service classes offered to transiting traffic there is a DWS (IP commodity service) and a Network Control class, which are traffic classes used internally to the GÉANT network.

22 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Juniper Networks and CoS Services GEANT with IP Premium + LBE Service  Junos CoS features include policing, (strict) priority queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), precedence/DSCP field rewrite, and random early drop RED.  On a Juniper M-series Router each port has 4 Queues Weighted Round Robin Percentages can be set for each Queue  New generation Q-PICs offers multiples queues per logical interfaces (Ethernet VLAN, ATM PVC, etc.) WRR Source: http://www.dante.net/nep/geantqos/ and http://www.dante.net/tf-ngn/activities.html

23 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net QoS Configuration on GEANT  The configuration has completed on most of the GEANT routers allowing Premium IP, BE and LBE to co-exist.  The routers where the three services have been enable are represented as green on the following map.  The routers coloured yellow are Juniper routers where “old” FPCs have been re-used from TEN-155 (1999) These old FPC’s that do not allow for the full functionality of QoS.  As such BE is not ideally protected by LBE and the bandwidth is effectively shared. Premium IP only is supported.

26 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Router Configuration  Each router in the GÉANT network contains certain QoS building blocks in order to configure Per Hop Behaviors (PHB). The configuration shown here is taken from a Juniper M160 router with JUNOS 5.7 and with E-FPC (enhanced FPCs) and SDH interfaces.  Classifiers, schedulers and rewrite rules can be associated to each interface. In GÉANT two types of interface configurations are used for QoS  a backbone interface  an access interface (i.e. the interface where the traffic from an NREN is entering GÉANT)

The following configurations apply to all (access and backbone) interfaces.

29 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Drop Profiles  Drop profile define the parameters used by the Random Early Detection (RED) mechanism that MAY be used in a queue dws-drop-profile { fill-level 35 drop-probability 10; fill-level 40 drop-probability 100; } be-drop-profile { fill-level 15 drop-probability 30; fill-level 19 drop-probability 50; fill-level 24 drop-probability 70; fill-level 30 drop-probability 100; } less-than-be-drop-profile { fill-level 25 drop-probability 30; fill-level 30 drop-probability 50; fill-level 40 drop-probability 70; fill-level 50 drop-probability 100; }

30 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Queues and Schedulers 1. Associate a name with each queue  Note: a queue is sometimes also called a forwarding class forwarding-classes { queue 0 best-effort; queue 1 expedited-forwarding; queue 2 less-than-best-effort; queue 3 network-control; } The Premium IP traffic is classified into the expedited-forwarding queue. The naming of the queues is performed once and applies to all interfaces of the router.

31 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Queues and Schedulers 1. Define scheduler configurations  scheduler weight, queue size and priority as set at the GÉANT router for each queue: sch-best-effort { transmit-rate percent 90; buffer-size percent 50; priority low; } sch-expedited-forwarding { buffer-size percent 15; priority strict-high; } sch-less-than-best-effort { transmit-rate percent 5; buffer-size percent 30; priority low; drop-profile-map loss-priority low protocol any drop-profile less-than-be-drop-profile; drop-profile-map loss-priority high protocol any drop-profile be-drop-profile; } sch-network-ctrl { transmit-rate percent 5; buffer-size percent 5; priority high; }

32 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Queues and Schedulers 3. Associate a scheduler with a queue (FC)  The main advantage of the scheduler-map is that it can be applied to more than one interface. MAP-BASIC { forwarding-class best-effort scheduler sch-best-effort; forwarding-class expedited-forwarding scheduler sch-expedited-forwarding; forwarding-class less-than-best-effort scheduler sch-less-than-best-effort; forwarding-class network-control scheduler sch-network-ctrl; }

33 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Classification  The classifier is a functional block located at the input interface that sets three internal bits for each IP packet  Two bits that select the output-queue. There are four output queues, also called forwarding-classes, per port.  One bit to indicate the loss-priority, the packets classified in an output-queue can have two different values of loss-priority (low or high).  Note that it is also possible to classify packets by means of an input filter. Backbone Classifier dscp backbone-classifier { import default; forwarding-class best-effort { loss-priority low code-points [ af11 af12 af13 ]; loss-priority high code-points cs4; } forwarding-class less-than-best-effort { loss-priority low code-points cs1; } } Access Classifier dscp access-classifier { import default; forwarding-class best-effort { loss-priority low code-points [ af11 af12 af13 ]; } forwarding-class less-than-best-effort { loss-priority low code-points cs1; loss-priority high code-points [ ef cs4 ]; }

34 Copyright © 2004 Juniper Networks, Inc. www.juniper.net Marking  The marking of packets with a DSCP value is the last QoS action performed before the transmission of the packet (hence after firewall filter evaluation) dscp basic-rewrite-rules { forwarding-class best-effort { loss-priority high code-point cs4; } forwarding-class expedited-forwarding { loss-priority low code-point ef; } forwarding-class network-control { loss-priority low code-point nc1; loss-priority high code-point nc2; } forwarding-class less-than-best-effort { loss-priority high code-point be; loss-priority low code-point cs1; } } Service Incoming DSCP value New DSCP value Authorised Premium IP4646/drop Un-authorised Premium IP 460/5 DWS320 LBE8 8 Network Control48/5648 Best Effortother valuesUnchanged
