## Example: QoS Parameter Configuration for IP Multicast Bandwidth Adjustment

In this example, a QoS administrator configures a QoS parameter definition to associate with the IP multicast bandwidth adjustment application.

The QoS administrator configures the parameter definition to perform the QoS adjustment on an ATM VC subscriber. By specifying the ip-multicast keyword with the qos-parameter-define command, the IP parameter instances are created when the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) joins and leaves.

When you specify a controlled-interface type for atm-vc, the system explicitly creates a parameter instance at the ATM VC with a value that is equal to the sum of the IP adjustments above this interface. This parameter value is referred by a scheduler profile and a QoS profile to create the QoS scheduler hierarchy that adjusts the shared-shaping rate when IGMP joins and leaves.

This subscriber has data, voice, and video service with total subscriber bandwidth of 10 Mbps. Voice traffic is shaped at 192 Kbps and belongs to the strict priority group. Video traffic is provided by the IP multicast bandwidth adjustment application and its rate is configured in the bandwidth map.

Figure 63 shows the scheduler hierarchy built in this configuration.

Configuring Traffic Classes and Traffic-Class Groups

The QoS administrator configures the traffic classes and traffic-class groups for best-effort data and voice services. The QoS administrator does not need to configure a traffic class for the video service because it is transmitted through the IP multicast connection.

1. Configure the traffic classes.
   1. Configure the traffic class named best-effort.
   2. Configure the traffic class named voice.
      `
      host1(config)#traffic-class voice
      host1(config-traffic-class)#exit
      host1(config)#traffic-class best-effort
      host1(config-traffic-class)#exit
      `
2. Configure a traffic-class group for low-latency expedited forwarding (EF) and add the traffic class for voice service into the traffic-class group EF.
   1. Configure the EF traffic-class group with strict-priority scheduling.
   2. Add the traffic class voice to the traffic-class group.
      `
      host1(config)#traffic-class-group EF auto-strict-priority
      host1(config-traffic-class-group)#traffic-class voice
      host1(config-traffic-class-group)#exit
      `

      The remaining traffic class, best-effort, remains in the default traffic-class group.

Configuring the QoS Parameter Definition and Global Parameter Instance

The QoS administrator configures the QoS parameter definition and specifies the IP multicast bandwidth adjustment application. The QoS administrator must configure the parameter as hierarchical.

The QoS scheduler hierarchy is constructed when the subscriber logs on. However, because the parameter instance has not yet been created, the shared-shaping rate is undefined (that is, there is no shaping rate).

Therefore, the QoS administrator creates a global parameter instance to shape the subscriber to the desired bandwidth. The initial value is determined based on the application; in this example, the QoS administrator specifies 0 as the default.

1. Configure the QoS parameter definition ipm, associate it with the ip-multicast application, and assign it as a hierarchical parameter.
2. Configure a controlled-interface type of atm-vc.
3. Configure the global parameter instance.
   `
   host1(config)#qos-parameter-define ipm application ip-multicast hierarchical
   host1(config-qos-parameter-define)#controlled-interface-type atm-vc
   host1(config-qos-parameter-define)#exit
   host1(config)#qos-parameter ipm 0
   `

Therefore, the initial shared-shaping rate is 10 Mbps (10 Mbps - ipm value of 0).

Reference the Parameter Definition Within a Scheduler Profile

The QoS administrator configures the scheduler profile for the ATM VC subscriber and configures the shared-shaping rate. When a scheduler profile references the parameter instance, it enables the IP multicast bandwidth adjustment application to adjust the subscriber bandwidth to account for the video traffic.

The QoS administrator then configures the scheduler profile to shape voice traffic.

1. Configure the scheduler profile for the ATM VC subscriber.
   1. Configure the scheduler profile named vc-subscriber.
   2. Configure the shared-shaping rate by referencing an expression to limit the subscriber bandwidth to 10 Mbps.
      `
      host1(config)#scheduler-profile vc-subscriber
      host1(config-scheduler-profile)#shared-shaping-rate 10000000 - ipm burst 50 milliseconds auto
      host1(config-scheduler-profile)#exit
      `
2. Configure the scheduler profile for shaping voice traffic.
   1. Configure the scheduler profile named 192K.
   2. Configure the shaping rate at 1920000.
      `
      host1(config)#scheduler-profile 192K
      host1(config-scheduler-profile)#shaping rate 192000
      host1(config-scheduler-profile)#exit
      `

Adding the Scheduler Profiles to a QoS Profile

The IP multicast adjustment application is initialized when IGMP joins or leaves. The QoS administrator specifies the scheduler hierarchy by using a QoS profile rule that refers to a scheduler profile with a parameter expression.

1. Create the QoS profile named ipm-adjusted.
2. Configure a queue for ATM VC subinterfaces with the best-effort traffic class.
3. Configure a queue for ATM VC subinterfaces with the voice traffic class and reference the 192K scheduler profile.
4. Configure a node for ATM VC subinterfaces and reference the scheduler profile vc-subscriber.
   `
   host1(config)#qos-profile ipm-adjusted
   host1(config-qos-profile)#atm-vc queue traffic-class best-effort
   host1(config-qos-profile)#atm-vc queue traffic-class voice scheduler-profile 192k
   host1(config-qos-profile)#atm-vc node scheduler-profile vc-subscriber
   host1(config-qos-profile)#exit
   `

Attaching the Parameter Definition to an Interface

The QoS administrator creates a logical interface and attaches the parameter definition. The scheduler hierarchy is created when the QoS administrator creates the interface.

1. Configure the ATM interface in slot 2, port 0 as a point-to-point ATM interface.
2. Configure the ATM PVC with aal5snap encapsulation.
3. Attach the QoS profile vc-subscriber to the subinterface.
4. Configure the IP address for the ATM subinterface.
   `
   host1(config)#interface atm 2/0
   host1(config-if)#interface atm 2/0.1 point-to-point
   host1(config-subif)#atm pvc 100 0 100 aal5snap
   host1(config-subif)#qos-profile ipm-adjusted
   host1(config-subif)#ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
   `

IP Multicast Bandwidth Adjustment

When an IGMP join occurs, the IP multicast bandwidth adjustment application creates the parameter instance ipm for the IP interface and the ATM VC subinterface. Because the shared-shaping rate of the ATM VC references the ipm parameter, the rate is recalculated. If the imp parameter has a value of 2 Mbps, the resulting shared-shaping rate is 8 Mbps (10 Mbps - 2 = 8 Mbps).

When another IGMP join occurs, the IP multicast bandwidth adjustment application recalculates the value for parameter ipm and configures it to another value (for example, 7 Mbps). The system readjusts the ipm at the ATM VC and readjusts the shared-shaping rate. If the voice traffic is 100 Kbps, then the best-effort traffic is 2.9 Mbps.

When an IGMP leave occurs, the IP multicast bandwidth adjustment application configures the ipm parameter instance with a new value and readjusts the shared-shaping rate.

## Monitoring the Configuration

After completing the configuration, the QoS administrator can monitor it by issuing show commands.

1. To display the traffic classes for best-effort and voice, issue the show traffic-class command.
