Configuring ATM Virtual Path Shaping on ATM MICs with SFP

Starting in Junos OS Release 14.2, on MX Series routers with Modular Port Concentrator (MPC) interfaces and an ATM Modular Interface Card (MIC) with small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) installed, you can configure class-of-service (CoS) hierarchical shaping and schedule for the traffic carried on an ATM virtual path (VP).

After you configure the ATM physical interface and logical interface units, you must configure an interface set that consists of the ATM logical interface units. You then define one or more CoS traffic control profiles that includes the ATM service category (atm-service) and the peak cell rate (peak-rate), sustained cell rate (sustained-rate), and maximum burst size (max-burst-size) parameters. Finally, you apply the specified traffic control profile to the output traffic at the interface set and at its member ATM logical interface units.

To configure ATM VP shaping for traffic on an ATM MIC with SFP:

  1. Enable CoS hierarchical shaping and scheduling on the ATM physical interface.
  2. Specify that you want to configure ATM-specific options on the physical interface.
  3. Configure one or more virtual path identifiers (VPIs) on the ATM physical interface.
  4. Configure the appropriate encapsulation type for the ATM logical interface.
  5. Configure one or more virtual circuit identifiers (VCI) for each VPI defined on the ATM physical interface.
  6. (Optional) Configure PPPoE-specific options as needed for your configuration.

    For example, for PPPoE-over-ATM configurations:

    Note:

    For dynamic or static PPPoE-over-ATM configurations on MX Series routers, you must specify PPPoE-specific options at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family pppoe] hierarchy level. Specifying PPPoE-specific options at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number pppoe-underlying-options] hierarchy level is not supported for these configurations.

  7. Define the set of ATM logical interfaces for which you want to configure hierarchical schedulers.
    • Specify the name of the ATM interface set.

    • Configure each member of the ATM interface set.

      Note:

      All ATM logical interfaces that belong to the same interface set must share the same VPI and have a unique VCI.

  8. Configure one or more traffic shaping and scheduling profiles. For each traffic control profile:
    • Specify the service category that determines the traffic shaping parameter for the ATM queue at the ATM MIC with SFP.

    • Configure the transmit rate, shaping rate, and default excess rate for the ATM queue.

    The ATM service category works in conjunction with the peak-rate, sustained-rate, and max-burst-size ATM cell parameters to configure traffic shaping, transmit rate, shaping rate, and default excess rate for an ATM queue.

  9. Apply the traffic control profile to the output traffic at the interface set.
  10. Apply the traffic control profile to the output traffic at each member interface of the ATM interface set.

The following example configures ATM VP shaping on interface at-1/0/4 with VPI 40. The example defines an ATM interface set named atm-vp-ifset with two member ATM logical interfaces, at-1/0/4.50 and at-1/0/4.51, both of which use VPI 40. Traffic control profiles atm-vp-tcp1, atm-vp-tcp2, and atm-vp-tcp3 are each defined with the atm-service, peak-rate, sustained-rate, and max-burst size cell parameters. Finally, the output-traffic-control-profile statement applies traffic control profile atm-vp-tcp1 to the output traffic at interface at-1/0/4.50, atm-vp-tcp2 to the output traffic at interface at-1/0/4.51, and atm-vp-tcp3 to the output traffic at the atm-vp-ifset interface set.
