Object

Category of an object—for example, classifier, scheduler-map, or rewrite.

Name

Name that you have given to an object—for example, ba-classifier.

Type

Type of an object—for example, dscp, or exp for a classifier.

Index

Index of this interface or the internal index of a specific object.

Classifier Name

Name of a classifier.

To display classifier assignments, click the plus sign (+).

CoS Value Type

The classifiers are displayed by type:

• dscp—All classifiers of the DSCP type.
• dscp ipv6—All classifiers of the DSCP IPv6 type.
• exp—All classifiers of the MPLS EXP type.
• ieee-802.1—All classifiers of the IEEE 802.1 type.
• inet-precedence—All classifiers of the IP precedence type.

Index

Internal index of the classifier.

Incoming CoS Value

CoS value of the incoming packets, in bits. These values are used for classification.

Assign to Forwarding Class

Forwarding class that the classifier assigns to an incoming packet. This class affects the forwarding and scheduling policies that are applied to the packet as it transits the router.

Assign to Loss Priority

Loss priority value that the classifier assigns to the incoming packet based on its CoS value.

CoS Value Type

Type of the CoS value:

• dscp—Examines Layer 3 packet headers for IP packet classification.
• dscp ipv6—Examines Layer 3 packet headers for IPv6 packet classification.
• exp—Examines Layer 2 packet headers for MPLS packet classification.
• ieee-802.1—Examines Layer 2 packet header for packet classification.
• inet-precedence—Examines Layer 3 packet headers for IP packet classification.

To display aliases and bit patterns, click the plus sign (+).

CoS Value Alias

Name given to a set of bits—for example, af11 is a name for 001010 bits.

Bit Pattern

Set of bits associated with an alias.

RED Drop Profile Name

Name of the RED drop profile.

A drop profile consists of pairs of values between 0 and 100, one for queue buffer fill level and one for drop probability, that determine the relationship between a buffer's fullness and the likelihood it will drop packets.

To display profile values, click the plus sign (+).

Graph RED Profile

Link to a graph of a RED curve that the system uses to determine the drop probability based on queue buffer fullness.

The x axis represents the queue buffer fill level, and the y axis represents the drop probability.

Type

Type of a specific drop profile:

• interpolated—The two coordinates (x and y) of the graph are interpolated to produce a smooth profile.
• segmented—The two coordinates (x and y) of the graph are represented by line fragments to produce a segmented profile.

For information about types of drop profiles, see the JUNOS Class of Service Configuration Guide.

Index

Internal index of this drop profile.

Fill Level

Percentage fullness of a buffer queue. This value is the x coordinate of the RED drop profile graph.

Drop Probability

Drop probability of a packet corresponding to a specific queue buffer fill level. This value is the y coordinate of the RED drop profile graph.

Forwarding Class

Names of forwarding classes assigned to queue numbers. By default, the following forwarding classes are assigned to queues 0 through 3:

• best-effort—Provides no special CoS handling of packets. Loss priority is typically not carried in a CoS value, and RED drop profiles are more aggressive.
• expedited-forwarding—Provides low loss, low delay, low jitter, assured bandwidth, and end-to-end service.
• assured-forwarding—Provides high assurance for packets within specified service profile. Excess packets are dropped.
• network-control—Packets can be delayed but not dropped.

Queue

Queue number corresponding to the forwarding class name.

By default, four queues, 0 through 3, are assigned to forwarding classes.

Rewrite Rule Name

Names of rewrite rules.

CoS Value Type

Rewrite rule type:

• dscp—For IPv4 DiffServ traffic.
• dscp-ipv6—For IPv6 DiffServ traffic.
• exp—For MPLS traffic.
• ieee-802.1—For Layer 2 traffic.
• inet-precedence—For IPv4 traffic.

To display forwarding classes, loss priorities, and rewritten CoS values, click the plus sign (+).

Index

Internal index for this particular rewrite rule.

Forwarding Class

Forwarding class that in combination with loss priority is used to determine CoS values for rewriting.

Rewrite rules are applied to CoS values in outgoing packets based on forwarding class and loss priority setting.

Loss Priority

Loss priority that in combination with forwarding class is used to determine CoS values for rewriting.

Rewrite CoS Value To

Value that the CoS value is rewritten to.

Scheduler Map

Name of a scheduler map.

For details, click the plus sign (+).

Index

Index of a specific object—scheduler maps, schedulers, or drop profiles.

Scheduler Name

Name of a scheduler.

Forwarding Class

Forwarding classes this scheduler is assigned to.

Transmit Rate

Configured transmit rate of the scheduler in bits per second (bps). The rate value can be either of the following:

• A percentage—The scheduler receives the specified percentage of the total interface bandwidth.
• remainder—The scheduler receives the remaining bandwidth of the interface after allocation to other schedulers.

Rate Limit

Rate limiting configuration of the queue:

• none—No rate limiting.
• exact—The queue transmits at only the configured rate.

Buffer Size

Delay buffer size in the queue or the amount of transmit delay (in milliseconds). The buffer size can be either of the following:

• A percentage—The buffer is a percentage of the total buffer allocation.
• remainder—The buffer is sized according to what remains after other scheduler buffer allocations.

Priority

Scheduling priority of a queue:

• high—Packets in this queue are transmitted first.
• low—Packets in this queue are transmitted last.
• medium-high—Packets in this queue are transmitted after high-priority packets.
• medium-low—Packets in this queue are transmitted before low-priority packets.

Drop Profiles

Name and index of a drop profile that is assigned to a specific loss priority and protocol pair.

Loss Priority

Packet loss priority corresponding to a drop profile:

• low—Packet has a low loss priority.
• high—Packet has a high loss priority.
• medium-low—Packet has a medium-low loss priority.
• medium-high—Packet has a medium-high loss priority.

Protocol

Transport protocol corresponding to a drop profile.

Drop Profile Name

Name of the drop profile.
