Configuring Relative Strict-Priority Scheduling for Aggregate Shaping Rates

To configure relative strict priority scheduling for aggregate shaping rates:

  1. Create a scheduler profile for the strict-priority queue.
  2. host1(config)#scheduler-profile relativeStrict
    
    host1(config-scheduler-profile)#shaping-rate 500000 
    
    host1(config-scheduler-profile)#weight 0 
    
    host1(config-scheduler-profile)#exit 
    
    
    

Configuring the weight of 0 reduces latency and jitter.

  1. Create a scheduler profile for the nonstrict best-effort queue.
  2. host1(config)#scheduler-profile be
    
    host1(config-scheduler-profile)#shaping-rate 1000000 burst 1
    
    host1(config-scheduler-profile)#weight 8
    
    host1(config-scheduler-profile)#exit 
    
    
    

    TIP: If you need to impose a shaping rate on the nonstrict queues to meet a functional requirement, you can specify a rate less than the aggregate rate. The key is that the burst size must be one, or small. The burst size determines the maximum-sized packet that can squeeze in front of a relative strict-priority packet in the round robin.

  3. Create a scheduler profile for the aggregate bandwidth.
  4. host1(config)#scheduler-profile vcAggregate
    
    host1(config-scheduler-profile)#shaping-rate 1000000
    
    host1(config-scheduler-profile)#exit
    
    
    
  5. Create a QoS profile, configure node shaping for each queue, and add each of the queues to the QoS profile.
  6. host1(config)#qos-profile relative-strict-aggregate 
    
    host1(config-qos-profile)#atm-vc node scheduler-profile vcAggregate 
    
    host1(config-qos-profile)#atm-vc queue traffic-class best-effort 
    
    scheduler-profile be
    
    host1(config-qos-profile)#atm-vc queue traffic-class voice scheduler-profile 
    relativeStrict
    
    host1(config-qos-profile)#exit
    
    host1(config)#
    
    
    

This configuration creates the hierarchy shown in Figure 16.
