Alcatel-Lucent Services Configuration Process

Table 1 lists the tasks necessary to configure and apply QoS policies. This guide is presented in an

overall logical configuration flow. Each section describes a software area and provides CLI syntax

and command usage to configure parameters for a functional area.

Note: In SR OS 12.0.R4 any function that displays an IPv6 address or prefix changes to reflect

rules described in RFC 5952, A Recommendation for IPv6 Address Text Representation.

Specifically, hexadecimal letters in IPv6 addresses are now represented in lowercase, and the

correct compression of all leading zeros is displayed. This changes visible display output

compared to previous SR OS releases. Previous SR OS behavior can cause issues with operator

scripts that use standard IPv6 address expressions and with libraries that have standard IPv6

parsing as per RFC 5952 rules. See the section on IPv6 Addresses in the Router Configuration

Guide for more information.

QoS Overview

Routers are designed with Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms on both ingress and egress to

support multiple customers and multiple services per physical interface. The router has an

extensive and flexible capabilities to classify, police, shape and mark traffic.

In the Alcatel-Lucent service router’s service model, a service is provisioned on the provider-edge

(PE) equipment. Service data is encapsulated and then sent in a service tunnel to the far-end

Alcatel-Lucent service router where the service data is delivered.

The operational theory of a service tunnel is that the encapsulation of the data between the two

Alcatel Lucent service routers (such as the 7950 XRS, 7750 SR, 7710 SR, 7750 SR MG and 7450

ESS) appear like a Layer 2 path to the service data although it is really traversing an IP or IP/

MPLS core. The tunnel from one edge device to the other edge device is provisioned with an

encapsulation and the services are mapped to the tunnel that most appropriately supports the

service needs.

The router supports eight forwarding classes internally named: Network-Control, High-1,

Expedited, High-2, Low-1, Assured, Low-2 and Best-Effort. The forwarding classes are discussed

in more detail in Forwarding Classes on page 64.

Router use QoS policies to control how QoS is handled at distinct points in the service delivery

model within the device. There are different types of QoS policies that cater to the different QoS

needs at each point in the service delivery model. QoS policies are defined in a global context in

the router and only take effect when the policy is applied to a relevant entity.

QoS policies are uniquely identified with a policy ID number or name. Policy ID 1 or Policy ID

“default” is reserved for the default policy which is used if no policy is explicitly applied.

The QoS policies within the router can be divided into three main types:

• QoS policies are used for classification, defining and queuing attributes and marking.

• Scheduler policies determine how queues are scheduled.
