qos police order parent-first

To change the Quality of Service (QoS) policing action from child first, then parent (the default) to parent first, then child, use the qospoliceorderparent-first command in global configuration mode. To disable the parent-first order and restore the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

qos police order parent-first

no qos police order parent-first

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

If the qospoliceorderparent-first command is not entered, the child policing action is done first, followed by the parent policing action.

Command Modes

Command History


Release	Modification
15.1(1)S	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Prior to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)S, in a hierarchical policing policy map (a parent policy with policing configured under a class that has a child policy also with policing configured), the parent policing action was done first, followed by the child policing action.

Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)S, the order is reversed. By default, the child policing action is done first, followed by the parent policing action. This change applies only to software dataplane policer implementations (Cisco 7200, Cisco 7301, and Cisco 7600 FlexWAN and SIP200 line cards).

This new behavior improves the results for transmit-and-drop actions because the child policing action occurs first. However, if the parent and child policers are performing conflicting mark-and-transmit actions, the parent mark takes effect rather than the child because the parent action happens last.

Use of the qospoliceorderparent-first command is necessary only if you need to revert to the police order that was in effect prior to Release 15.1(1)S.

Examples

The following example shows how to change the police order from child first (default) to parent first, then child:


Router# qos police order parent-first

qos pre-classify

To enable quality of service (QoS) preclassification, use the qospre-classify command in interface configuration mode. To disable the QoS preclassification feature, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is restricted to tunnel interfaces, virtual templates, and crypto maps. The qospre-classify command is unavailable on all other interface types.

You can enable the qospre-classify command for IP packets only.

Note

QoS preclassification is not supported for all fragmented packets. If a packet is fragmented, each fragment might receive different preclassifications.

Examples

The following example enables the QoS for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) feature on tunnel interfaces and virtual templates:


Router(config-if)# qos pre-classify

qos shape-timer

To specify the Hierarchical Queuing Framework (HQF) shaper-timer interval, use the qos shape-timer command in global configuration mode. To remove the shaper-timer interval setting, and restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

qos shape-timer {1ms | 4ms}

no qos shape-timer {1ms | 4ms}

Syntax Description


1ms	Sets the HQF shaper timer to 1 millisecond (ms).
4ms	Sets the HQF shaper timer to the default value of 4 ms.

Command Default

The shaper-timer interval is 4-milliseconds.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification
15.1(4)M5	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

By default, the shaper timer uses an interval of 4 ms; however, on high-speed interfaces this setting can lead to a burst at the line rate every 4 ms until the token bucket is exhausted. If there is a low-end device immediately downstream, then packets can be dropped during every burst. To eliminate the unwanted burst behavior, you can reduce the token bucket replenish time from 4 ms to 1 ms using the qos shape-timer command.

To configure the shape-timer interval, first you use qos shape-timer command to set the shaper-timer interval, then you create a QoS service policy that specifies the average shape rate, and finally you apply that policy to an interface. Once the policy has been applied to an interface, the interval that the shaper uses to replenish the token bucket is decided by the parameter you specified using the qos shape-timer command.

Note

The qos shape-timer command is available on all Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) that do not have a hardware assisted timer.

Examples

The following example shows how to create and attach a service policy to an interface and set the shaper-timer interval to 1 ms:


 
Router(config)# policy-map myservicepolicy
Router(config-pmap)# class class-default
Router(config-pmap-c)# shape average 256000
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)# exit
Router(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0 
Router(config-if)# service-policy output myservicepolicy  
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# qos shape-timer 1ms

Related Commands


Command	Description
class	Specifies the name of the class whose policy you want to create or change, or specifies the default class.
policy-map	Specifies the name of the service policy to configure.
service-policy	Specifies the name of the service policy to be attached to the interface.
shape	Specifies average or peak rate traffic shaping.

queue-depth

To configure the number of incoming packets that the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) process can keep in its queue, use the queue-depth command in router configuration mode. To set the queue depth to its default value, use the no form of the command.

queue-depth {hello | update} {queue-size | unlimited}

no queue-depth {hello | update}

Syntax Description


hello	Specifies the queue depth of the OSPF hello process.
update	Specifies the queue depth of the OSPF router process queue.
`queue-size`	Maximum number of packets in the queue. The range is 1 to 2147483647.
unlimited	Specifies an infinite queue depth.

Command Default

If you do not set a queue size, the OSPF hello process queue depth is unlimited and the OSPF router process (update) queue depth is 200 packets.

Command Modes

Router configuration (config-router)

Command History


Release	Modification
12.2(25)S	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

All incoming OSPF packets are initially enqueued in the hello queue. OSPF hello packets are processed directly from this queue, while all other OSPF packet types are subsequently enqueued in the update queue.

If you configure a router with many neighbors and a large database, use the queue-depth command to adjust the size of the hello and router queues. Otherwise, packets might be dropped because of queue limits, and OSPF adjacencies may be lost.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the OSPF update queue to 1500 packets:


Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# router ospf 1
Router(config-router)# queue-depth update 1500

queue-limit queue-limit-size [packets]

no queue-limit

Syntax Description

queue-limit-size

The maximum size of the queue. The maximum varies according to the optional unit of measure keyword specified (bytes , ms , us , or packets ).

Note

If an optional unit of measure is not specified, the default unit of measure depends on the platform.

Note

For Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Routers, bytes is the preferred mode.

bytes

(Optional) Indicates that the unit of measure is bytes. Valid range for bytes is a number from 1 to 8192000.

Note

The bytes keyword is not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers.

Note

For Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, the valid range for bytes is a number from 1 to 64000000.

ms

(Optional) Indicates that the unit of measure is milliseconds. Valid range for milliseconds is a number from 1 to 3400.

Note

The ms keyword is not supported on Cisco 7600 and Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers.

us

(Optional) Indicates that the unit of measure is microseconds. Valid range for microseconds is a number from 1 to 512000.

packets

(Optional) Indicates that the unit of measure is packets. Valid range for packets is a number from 1 to 32768 but can also vary by platform and release as follows:

For ESR-PRE1—The queue size limit for packets is a number from 32 to 16384; the number must be a power of 2. If the number that you specify is not a power of 2, the device converts the number to the nearest power of 2.
For Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX and later releases—The queue size limit for packets is a number from 32 to 16384. The number need not be a power of 2.
For Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB2 and later releases—The queue size limit for packets is a number from 16 to 32767.
For Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)XI and later releases—If the interface has less than 500 MB of memory, the queue size limit for packets is a number from 8 to 4096; the number must be a power of 2. If the interface has more than 500 MB of memory, the queue size limit for packets is a number from 128 to 64000 and must be a power of 2; if it is not, the device converts the number to the nearest power of 2.
For Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1 and later releases—The queue size limit for packets is a number from 1 to 8192000.

Command Default

The default behavior of the queue-limit command for class queues with and without Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) is as follows:

Class queues with WRED—The device uses the default queue limit of two times the largest WRED maximum threshold value, rounded to the nearest power of 2.

Note

For Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16)BX, the device does not round the value to the nearest power of 2.

Priority queues and class queues without WRED—The device has buffers for up to 50 ms of 256-byte packets at line rate, but not fewer than 32 packets.

Usage Guidelines

Weighted Fair Queueing

Weighted fair queueing (WFQ) creates a queue for every class for which a class map is defined. Packets that satisfy the match criterion for a class accumulate in the queue reserved for the class until they are sent, which occurs when the queue is serviced by the fair queueing process. When the maximum packet threshold that you defined for the class is reached, enqueueing of any further packets to the class queue causes tail drop or, if WRED is configured for the class policy, packet drop to take effect.

Changes in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S1

Prior to Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S1, if no queue limit was configured, the queue limit for the current class was based on the parent values for available buffers and current class allocated bandwidth. In the implicit WRED min/max scenario, thresholds were calculated from the available buffers.

Thresholds were calculated from the available aggregate queue limit for each class. The WRED min/max threshold values would not be adjusted if there was a user-defined queue-limit configuration. The min/max threshold would still be derived from the “visible_bw” value seen by this traffic class. The WRED functionality could fail because of this inconsistent qlimit and min/max threshold calculation.

Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S1, the queue limit is always calculated from the parent queue limit and allocated bandwidth in the current class. When you use the queue-limit command to explicitly configure the values, these values are used as the definition of the queue limit.

To ensure optimum functionality, use the queue-limit command to configure the proper min/max threshold for each WRED class based on the queue-limit configuration.

Changes in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T

Prior to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T, if the optional unit of measure was not specified, the unit of measure used was packets. Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T, if the optional unit of measure is not specified, the unit used depends on the platform.

Overriding Queue Limits Set by the bandwidth Command

Use the bandwidth command with the modular quality of service (QoS) CLI) (MQC) to specify the bandwidth for a particular class. When used with MQC, the bandwidth command has a default queue limit for the class. This queue limit can be modified using the queue-limit command, thereby overriding the default set by the bandwidth command.

Note

Using the queue-limit command to modify the default queue limit is especially important for higher-speed interfaces, in order to meet the minimum bandwidth guarantees required by the interface.

Prior to the deployment of the Hierarchical Queueing Framework (HQF), the default maximum queue limit on a subinterface was 512 if no hold queue was configured on the main interface.

As part of HQF, this restriction was removed beginning in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M5. Now the maximum queue limit can be set as high as the hold-queue size on the main interface.

If no hold queue is configured on the main interface, the aggregate queue limit can go up to 1000. If the hold-queue is explicitly configured on the main interface, then the aggregate queue limit can go up to the hold-queue value. There is no limit per subinterface.

The maximum configurable hold-queue value of 4096 was increased to 240,000 for users who want to configure higher aggregate queue-limit values. However, configuring high queue-limit and hold-queue values is not recommended.

Values configured using the queue-limit command override those configured using the qos default queue-limit command.

Examples

The following example configures a policy map called policy11. The policy11 policy map contains a class called acl203. The policy map for this class is configured so that the queue reserved for the class has a maximum queue size of 40 packets.


Device(config)# policy-map policy11
Device(config-pmap)# class acl203
Device(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth 2000
Device(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 40 packets

Command	Description
bandwidth	Specifies the maximum aggregate bandwidth for H.323 traffic and verifies the available bandwidth of the destination gatekeeper.
class (policy-map)	Specifies the name of the class whose policy you want to create or change and the default class (commonly known as the class-default class) before you configure its policy.
class class-default	Specifies the default traffic class whose bandwidth is to be configured or modified.
policy-map	Creates or modifies a policy map that can be attached to one or more interfaces to specify a service policy.
qos default queue-limit	Configures the default queue limit for all QoS-based classes on a device in bytes, milliseconds (ms), microseconds (us), or packets.

queue-limit atm clp

To specify the maximum size (in cells, microseconds, or milliseconds) of a queue for a specific traffic class, use the queue-limitatmclp command in policy-map class configuration mode. To remove the queue limit atm cell loss priority (clp) value from a class, use the no form of this command.

queue-limit atm clp queue-size {cells | ms | us}

no queue-limit atm clp

Syntax Description


`queue-size`	Threshold value. The range is 1-262144.
cells \| ms \| us	Unit of measure for the queue size; ms = milliseconds; us = microseconds.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Policy-map class configuration (config-pmap-c)

Command History


Release	Modification
12.0(30)S	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can use the queue-limitatmclp command only with other queuing features, such as weighted fair queuing (WFQ). WFQ creates a queue for every class for which you define a class map. You can apply the policy map that you created with the atm clp based queue-limit command only to ATM interfaces on Cisco 12000 Series Routers.

Use the queue-limitatmclp command only after you have issued the queue-limit command using the same traffic class.

Use the noqueue-limit command to remove both the global queue-limit queue-size value and the queue-limit atm clp queue-size value if you configured it.

Packets satisfying the match criteria for a class accumulate in the queue reserved for the class until they are sent, which occurs when the queue is serviced by the weighted fair queuing process. When the defined maximum packet threshold for the class is reached, enqueuing of additional packets to the class queue causes tail drop.

You can specify the CLP queue-limit threshold in cells, milliseconds (ms), or microseconds (us). However, the unit of measure cannot be mixed. For example, if you specify the CLP queue-limit threshold in milliseconds, then you must also specify the global queue-limit threshold in milliseconds.

Note

When you specify the queue-limit threshold as cells, milliseconds, or microseconds, it is internally converted to cells by using the visible bandwidth that is available to the class or the ATM virtual circuit (VC).

Examples

In the following example, a policy map called “POLICY-ATM” has been configured. The “POLICY-ATM” policy map contains a class called “CLASS-ATM”. The bandwidth for this class is specified as a percentage (20), and the queue-limit command sets the global queue-limit threshold to 1000 cells. The queue-limitatmclp command sets the queue-limit threshold for ATM CLP data to 100 cells:


Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# policy-map POLICY_ATM
Router(config-pmap)# class CLASS-ATM
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 20
Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 1000 cells
Router(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit atm clp 100 cells
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit

12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

When you use multiple rules, remember that the system reads the queue-list commands in order of appearance. When classifying a packet, the system searches the list of rules specified by queue-list commands for a matching protocol or interface type. When a match is found, the system assigns the packet to the appropriate queue. The system searches the list in the order specified, and the first matching rule terminates the search.

Queue number 0 is a system queue. It is emptied before any of the other queues are processed. The system enqueues high-priority packets, such as keepalives, to this queue.

Use theshowinterfaces command to display the current status of the output queues.

Examples

In the following example, the default queue for list 10 is set to queue number 2:


queue-list 10 default 2

12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

When you use multiple rules for a single protocol, remember that the system reads the queue-list commands in order of appearance. When classifying a packet, the system searches the list of rules specified by queue-list commands for a matching protocol. When a match is found, the system assigns the packet to the appropriate queue. The system searches the list in the order specified, and the first matching rule terminates the search.

The decnet_router-l1 keyword refers to the multicast address for all level 1 routers, which are intra-area routers, and the decnet_router-l2 keyword refers to all level 2 routers, which are interarea routers.

The dlsw , rsrb , and stun keywords refer only to direct encapsulation.

Use the tables listed in the priority-listprotocol command documention to configure the queueing priorities for your system.

Examples

The following example assigns 1 as the custom queue list, specifies DECnet as the protocol type, and assigns 3 as a queue number to the packets sent on this interface:


queue-list 1 protocol decnet 3

random-detect

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S and Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T, the random-detect command is hidden in interface configuration mode. Although this command is still available in Cisco IOS software, the CLI interactive Help does not display it if you enter a question mark at the command line. This command will be completely removed from interface configuration mode in a future release, which means that you will need to use the appropriate replacement command (or sequence of commands). For more information (including a list of replacement commands), see the "Legacy QoS Command Deprecation" feature document in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.

To enable Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) or distributed WRED (dWRED) on an interface, use the random-detect command in interface configuration mode. To configure WRED for a class in a policy map, use the random-detect command in QoS policy-map class configuration mode. To disable WRED or dWRED, use the no form of this command.

random-detect [dscp-based | prec-based]

Keywords

If you choose not to use either the dscp-based or the prec-based keyword, WRED uses the IP Precedence value (the default method) to calculate the drop probability for the packet.

Availability

The random-detect command is not available at the interface level for Cisco IOS Releases 12.1E or 12.0S. The random-detect command is available in policy-map class configuration mode only for Cisco IOS Releases 12.1E, 12.0S, and later releases.

WRED Functionality

WRED is a congestion avoidance mechanism that slows traffic by randomly dropping packets when congestion exists. dWRED is similar to WRED but uses the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) instead of the Route Switch Processor (RSP). WRED and dWRED are most useful with protocols such as Transport Control Protocol (TCP) that respond to dropped packets by decreasing the transmission rate.

The router automatically determines parameters to use in the WRED calculations. To change these parameters, use the random-detect precedence command.

Platform Support for dWRED

The dWRED feature is supported only on Cisco 7000 series routers with an RSP7000 card and Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP2-40 or higher interface processor. A VIP2-50 interface processor is strongly recommended when the aggregate line rate of the port adapters on the VIP is greater than DS3. A VIP2-50 interface processor is required for OC-3 rates.

To use dWRED, distributed Cisco Express Forwarding switching must first be enabled on the interface. For more information on distributed Cisco Express Forwarding, refer to the Cisco IOS Switching Services Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Switching Services Command Reference .

WRED in a Policy Map

You can configure WRED as part of the policy map for a standard class or the default class. The WRED random-detect command and the weighted fair queueing (WFQ) queue-limit command are mutually exclusive. If you configure WRED, its packet drop capability is used to manage the queue when packets exceeding the configured maximum count are enqueued. If you configure the WFQ queue-limit command, tail drop is used.

To configure a policy map and create class policies, use the policy-map and class (policy-map) commands. When creating a class within a policy map, you can use the random-detect command with either of the following commands:

bandwidth (policy-map class)
fair-queue (class-default)--for the default class only

Note

If you use WRED packet drop instead of tail drop for one or more classes in a policy map, you must ensure that WRED is not configured on the interface to which you attach that policy map.

Note

dWRED is not supported for classes in a policy map.

Two Methods for Calculating the Drop Probability of a Packet

This command includes two optional keywords, dscp-based and prec-based , that determine the method WRED uses to calculate the drop probability of a packet.

Note the following points when deciding which method to instruct WRED to use:

With the dscp-based keyword, WRED uses the DSCP value (that is, the first six bits of the IP type of service (ToS) byte) to calculate the drop probability.
With the prec-based keyword, WRED will use the IP Precedence value to calculate the drop probability.
The dscp-based and prec-based keywords are mutually exclusive.
If neither argument is specified, WRED uses the IP Precedence value to calculate the drop probability (the default method).

Examples

The following example configures WRED on the High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) 0/0/0 interface:


interface Hssi0/0/0
 random-detect

The following example configures the policy map called policy1 to contain policy specification for the class called class1. During times of congestion, WRED packet drop is used instead of tail drop.


! The following commands create the class map called class1:
class-map class1
 match input-interface fastethernet0/1
! The following commands define policy1 to contain policy specification for class1:
policy-map policy1
 class class1
  bandwidth 1000
  random-detect

The following example enables WRED to use the DSCP value 8. The minimum threshold for the DSCP value 8 is 24 and the maximum threshold is 40. This configuration was performed at the interface level.


Router(config)# interface serial0/0
Router(config-if)# random-detect dscp-based
Router(config-if)# random-detect dscp 8 24 40

The following example enables WRED to use the DSCP value 8 for class c1. The minimum threshold for DSCP value 8 is 24 and the maximum threshold is 40. The last line attaches the service policy to the output interface or virtual circuit (VC) p1.


Router(config-if)# class-map c1
Router(config-cmap)# match access-group 101
Router(config-if)# policy-map p1
Router(config-pmap)# class c1
Router(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth 48
Router(config-pmap-c)# random-detect dscp-based
Router(config-pmap-c)# random-detect dscp 8 24 40
Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)# exit

Usage Guidelines

WRED is a congestion avoidance mechanism that slows traffic by randomly dropping packets when congestion exists. DWRED is similar to WRED but uses the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) instead of the Route Switch Processor (RSP). WRED and DWRED are most useful with protocols like TCP that respond to dropped packets by decreasing the transmission rate.

WRED and DWRED are configurable at the interface and per-VC levels. The VC-level WRED or DWRED configuration will override the interface-level configuration if WRED or DWRED is also configured at the interface level.

Use this command to configure a single ATM VC or a VC that is a member of a bundle.

Note the following points when using the random-detect (per VC) command:

If you use this command without the optional attach keyword, default WRED or DWRED parameters (such as minimum and maximum thresholds) are used.
If you use this command with the optional attach keyword, the parameters defined by the specified WRED or DWRED parameter group are used. (WRED or DWRED parameter groups are defined through the random-detect-group command.) If the specified WRED or DWRED group does not exist, the VC is configured with default WRED or DWRED parameters.

When this command is used to configure an interface-level WRED or DWRED group to include per-VC WRED or DWRED as a drop policy, the configured WRED or DWRED group parameters are inherited under the following conditions:

All existing VCs--including Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) switched virtual circuits (SVCs) that are not specifically configured with a VC-level WRED or DWRED group--will inherit the interface-level WRED or DWRED group parameters.
Except for the VC used for signalling and the Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) VC, any VCs created after the configuration of an interface-level DWRED group will inherit the parameters.

When an interface-level WRED or DWRED group configuration is removed, per-VC WRED or DWRED parameters are removed from any VC that inherited them from the configured interface-level WRED or DWRED group.

When an interface-level WRED or DWRED group configuration is modified, per-VC WRED or DWRED parameters are modified accordingly if the WRED or DWRED parameters were inherited from the configured interface-level WRED or DWRED group configuration.

This command is only supported on interfaces that are capable of VC-level queueing. The only currently supported interface is the Enhanced ATM port adapter (PA-A3).

The DWRED feature is only supported on Cisco 7000 series routers with an RSP7000 card and Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP2-40 or greater interface processor. A VIP2-50 interface processor is strongly recommended when the aggregate line rate of the port adapters on the VIP is greater than DS3. A VIP2-50 interface processor is required for OC-3 rates.

To use DWRED, distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF) switching must first be enabled on the interface. For more information on dCEF, refer to the Cisco IOS Switching Services Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Switching Services Command Reference.

Examples

The following example configures per-VC WRED for the permanent virtual circuit (PVC) called cisco. Because the attach keyword was not used, WRED uses default parameters.


pvc cisco 46 
 random-detect

The following example creates a DWRED group called Rome and then applies the parameter group to an ATM PVC:


! The following commands create the DWRED parameter group Rome:
random-detect-group Rome
 precedence rsvp 46 50 10
 precedence 1 32 50 10
 precedence 2 34 50 10
 precedence 3 36 50 10
 precedence 4 38 50 10
 precedence 5 40 50 10
 precedence 6 42 50 10
 precedence 7 44 50 10
 exit
exit
! The following commands create a PVC on an ATM interface and then apply the 
! DWRED group Rome to that PVC: 
interface ATM2/0.23 point-to-point

random-detect aggregate

To enable aggregate Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), use the random-detectaggregate command in policy-map class configuration mode. To disable aggregate WRED, use the no form of this command.

random-detect [precedence-based | dscp-based] aggregate [minimum-thresh min-thresh maximum-thresh max-thresh mark-probability mark-prob]

no random-detect [precedence-based | dscp-based] aggregate

Syntax Description


precedence-based	(Optional) Enables aggregate WRED based on IP precedence values. This is the default.
dscp-based	(Optional) Enables aggregate WRED based on differentiated services code point (DSCP) values.
minimum-thresh `min-thresh`	(Optional) Default minimum threshold (in number of packets) to be used for all subclasses (IP precedence or DSCP values) that have not been specifically configured. Valid values are from 1 to 12288.
maximum-thresh `max-thresh`	(Optional) Default maximum threshold (in number of packets) to be used for all subclasses (IP precedence or DSCP values) that have not been specifically configured. Valid values are from the minimum threshold argument to 12288.
mark-probability `mark-prob`	(Optional) Default denominator for the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. This value is used for all subclasses (IP precedence or DSCP values) that have not been specifically configured. Valid values are from 1 to 255.

Command Default

If no precedence-based or dscp-based keyword is specified in the command, the default is precedence-based .

If optional parameters for a default aggregate class are not defined, all subclass values that are not explicitly configured will use plain (non-weighted) RED drop behavior. This is different from standard random-detect configuration where the default is to always use WRED behavior.

12.2(31)SB2	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB2 on the Cisco 10000 series router for the PRE3.

Usage Guidelines

For ATM interfaces, the Aggregate WRED feature requires that the ATM SPA cards are installed in a Cisco 7600 SIP-200 carrier card or a Cisco 7600 SIP-400 carrier card.

To configure WRED on an ATM interface, you must use the random-detect aggregate commands; the standard random-detect commands are no longer supported on ATM interfaces.

The precedence-based and dscp-based keywords are mutually exclusive. If you do not specify either keyword, precedence-based is the default.

Defining WRED profile parameter values for the default aggregate class is optional. If defined, WRED profile parameters applied to the default aggregate class will be used for all subclasses that have not been explicitly configured. If all possible IP precedence or DSCP values are defined as subclasses, a default specification is unnecessary. If the optional parameters for a default aggregate class are not defined and packets with an unconfigured IP precedence or DSCP value arrive at the interface, plain (non-weighted) RED drop behavior will be used.

Use this command with a random-detectprecedence (aggregate) or random-detectdscp (aggregate) command within a policy map configuration to configure aggregate Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) parameters for specific IP precedence or DSCP value(s).

After the policy map is defined, the policy map must be attached at the VC level.

Use the showpolicy-mapinterface command to display the statistics for aggregated subclasses.

Examples

The following example shows a precedence-based aggregate WRED configuration for an ATM interface. Note that first a policy map named prec-aggr-wred is defined for the default class, then precedence-based Aggregate WRED is enabled with the random-detectaggregate command, then subclasses and WRED parameter values are assigned in a series of random-detectprecedence (aggregate) commands, and, finally, the policy map is attached at the ATM VC level using the interface and service-policy commands.

`max-probability-denominator-value`	Denominator for the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. Valid values are 1 to 65535.

Command Default

When WRED is configured, the default minimum and maximum thresholds are determined on the basis of output buffering capacity and the transmission speed for the interface.

The default maximum probability denominator is 10.

On the Cisco 10000 series router, the default is disabled.

Command Modes

Policy-map class configuration (config-pmap-c)

Release	Modification
12.0(28)S	This command was introduced.
12.2(28)SB	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB.
12.2(33)SB	This command was introduced on the PRE3 and PRE4 for the Cisco 10000 series router.
12.4(20)T	Support was added for hierarchical queueing framework (HQF) using the Modular Quality of Service (QoS) Command-Line Interface (CLI) (MQC).

Usage Guidelines

You cannot use the random-detectatm-clp-based command with the random-detectcos-based command in the same HQF configuration. You must use the norandom-detectcos-based command to disable it before you configure the random-detectatm-clp-based command.

Examples

In the following example, WRED is configured on the basis of the ATM CLP. In this configuration, the random-detectatm-clp-based command has been configured and an ATM CLP of 1 has been specified.


Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# policy-map policymap1
Router(config-pmap)# class class1
Router(config-pmap-c)# random-detect atm-clp-based 1
Router(config-pmap-c)#
 
end

random-detect clp

To specify the ATM cell loss priority (CLP) value of a packet, the minimum and maximum thresholds, and the maximum probability denominator used for enabling weighted random early detection (WRED), use the random-detect clp command in policy-map class configuration mode. To reset the thresholds and maximum probability denominator to the default values for the specified ATM CLP, use the no form of this command.

random-detect clp clp-value min-threshold max-threshold max-probability-denominator

no random-detect clp clp-value min-threshold max-threshold max-probability-denominator

Syntax Description


`clp-value`	CLP value. Valid values are 0 or 1.
`min-threshold`	Minimum threshold in number of packets. Valid values are in the range 1 to 512000000.
`max-threshold`	Maximum threshold in number of packets. Valid values are in the range 1 to 512000000.
`max-probability-denominator`	Denominator for the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. Valid values are 1 to 65535.

Command Default

The default values for the min-threshold and max-threshold arguments are based on the output buffering capacity and the transmission speed for the interface.

The default for the max-probability-denominator argument is 10; that is, 1 out of every 10 packets is dropped at the maximum threshold.

Command Modes

Policy-map class configuration (config-pmap-c)

Command History


Release	Modification
12.0(28)S	This command was introduced.
12.2(28)SB	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB.
15.2(2)T	This command was modified. The maximum and minimum threshold ranges were changed.

Usage Guidelines

Note the following points when using the random-detect clp command:

When the average queue length reaches the minimum threshold, WRED randomly drops some packets with the specified IP precedence.
When the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold, WRED drops all packets with the specified IP precedence.
While the range of values for the min-threshold and max-threshold arguments is from 1 to 512000000, the actual values that you can specify depend on the type of random detect you are configuring. For example, the maximum threshold value cannot exceed the queue limit.
The max-probability-denominator argument is the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. For example, if the denominator is 512, 1 out of every 512 packets is dropped when the average queue is at the maximum threshold.

Examples

In the following example, WRED has been enabled using the random-detect clp command. With the random-detect clp command, the ATM CLP has been specified, along with the minimum and maximum thresholds, and the maximum probability denominator.


Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# policy-map policymap1
Router(config-pmap)# class class1

Syntax Description


`value`	Discard class. This is a number that identifies the drop eligibility of a packet. Valid values are 0 to 7.
`min-threshold`	Specifies the minimum number of packets allowed in the queue. When the average queue length reaches the minimum threshold, WRED randomly drops some packets with the specified DSCP, IP precedence, or discard-class value. Valid minimum threshold values are 1 to 512000000.
`max-threshold`	Specifies the maximum number of packets allowed in the queue. When the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold, WRED drops all packets with the specified DSCP, IP precedence, or discard-class value. Valid maximum threshold values are 1 to 512000000.
`max-probability-denominator`	Denominator for the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. For example, if the denominator is 512, 1 out of every 512 packets is dropped when the average queue is at the maximum threshold. Valid values are 1 to 65535.

Command Default

For all precedence levels, the max-probability-denominator default is 10 packets; that is, 1 out of every 10 packets is dropped at the maximum threshold.

15.2(2)T	This command was modified. The maximum and minimum threshold ranges were changed.

Usage Guidelines

When you configure the random-detect discard-class command on an interface, packets are given preferential treatment based on the discard class of the packet. Use the random-detect discard-class command to adjust the discard class for different discard-class values.

Note

While the range of values for the min-threshold and max-threshold arguments is from 1 to 512000000, the actual values that you can specify depend on the type of random detect you are configuring. For example, the maximum threshold value cannot exceed the queue limit.

Cisco 10000 Series Router

You must first enable the drop mode using the random-detect discard-class-based command. You can then set the drop probability profile using the random-detect discard-class command.

The table below lists the default drop thresholds for WRED based on differentiated services code point (DSCP), IP precedence, and discard class. The drop probability indicates that the router drops one packet for every 10 packets.

Table 1. WRED Default Drop Thresholds
DSCP, Precedence, and Discard-Class Values	Minimum Threshold (Times the Queue Size)	Maximum Threshold (Times the Queue Size)	Drop Probability
All DSCPs	1/4	1/2	1/10
0	1/4	1/2	1/10
1	9/32	1/2	1/10
2	5/16	1/2	1/10

5	13/32	1/2	1/10
6	7/16	1/2	1/10
7	15/32	1/2	1/10

Examples

The following example shows how to configure discard class 2 to randomly drop packets when the average queue reaches the minimum threshold of 100 packets and 1 in 10 packets are dropped when the average queue is at the maximum threshold of 200 packets:


policy-map set-MPLS-PHB
 class IP-AF11 
  bandwidth percent 40
  random-detect discard-class-based
  random-detect-discard-class 2 100 200 10

Examples

The following example shows how to enable discard-class-based WRED. In this example, the configuration of the class map named Silver indicates to classify traffic based on discard class 3 and 5. Traffic that matches discard class 3 or 5 is assigned to the class named Silver in the policy map named Premium. The Silver configuration includes WRED packet dropping based on discard class 5 with a minimum threshold of 500, maximum threshold of 1500, and a mark-probability-denominator of 200. The QoS policy is applied to PVC 1/81 on point-to-point ATM subinterface 2/0/0.2 in the outbound direction.

random-detect dscp

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T, the random-detect dscp command is hidden in interface configuration mode. Although this command is still available in Cisco IOS software, the CLI interactive Help does not display it if you enter a question mark at the command line. This command will be completely removed from interface configuration mode in a future release, which means that you will need to use the appropriate replacement command (or sequence of commands). For more information (including a list of replacement commands), see the “Legacy QoS Command Deprecation” feature document in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.

To change the minimum and maximum packet thresholds for the differentiated services code point (DSCP) value, use the random-detect dscp command in interface or QoS policy-map class configuration mode. To return the minimum and maximum packet thresholds to the default for the DSCP value, use the no form of this command.

random-detect dscp dscp-value min-threshold max-threshold [mark-probability-denominator]

no random-detect dscp dscp-value min-threshold max-threshold [mark-probability-denominator]

Syntax Description


`dscp-value`	The DSCP value. The DSCP value can be a number from 0 to 63, or it can be one of the following keywords: af11 , af12 , af13 , af21 , af22 , af23 , af31 , af32 , af33 , af41 , af42 , af43 , cs1 , cs2 , cs3 , cs4 , cs5 , cs7, ef , or rsvp .
`min-threshold`	Minimum threshold in number of packets. The value range of this argument is from 1 to 512000000. When the average queue length reaches the minimum threshold, Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) or distributed WRED (dWRED) randomly drop some packets with the specified DSCP value.
`max-threshold`	Maximum threshold in number of packets. The value range of this argument is from the value of the min-threshold argument to 512000000. When the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold, WRED or dWRED drop all packets with the specified DSCP value.
`mark-probability-denominator`	(Optional) Denominator for the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. For example, if the denominator is 512, 1 out of every 512 packets is dropped when the average queue is at the maximum threshold. The value range is from 1 to 65536. The default is 10; that is, 1 out of every 10 packets is dropped at the maximum threshold.

Command Default

The default values for the random-detect dscp command are different on Versatile Interface Processor (VIP)-enabled Cisco 7500 series routers and Catalyst 6000 family switches with a FlexWAN module (dWRED). All other platforms running WRED have another set of default values. For more information about random-detect dscp defaults, see the “Usage Guidelines” section.

Usage Guidelines

Use the random-detect dscp command in conjunction with the random-detect command in interface configuration mode.

The random-detect dscp command is available only if you specified the dscp-based argument when using the random-detect command in interface configuration mode.

Note

The random-detect dscp command is not available at the interface level for Cisco IOS Release 12.1E or Release 12.0S. The random-detect dscp command is available only in QoS policy-map class configuration mode in Cisco IOS Release 12.1E.

Defaults for VIP-Enabled Cisco 7500 Series Routers and Catalyst 6000 Family Switches with a FlexWAN Module

For all IP precedence values, the default mark-probability-denominator is 10, and the max-threshold value is based on the output buffering capacity and the transmission speed of the interface.

The default min-threshold value depends on the IP precedence value. The min-threshold value for IP precedence 0 corresponds to half of the max-threshold value. The values for the remaining IP precedence values fall between half the max-threshold value and the max-threshold value at even intervals.

Note

Although the range of values for the min-threshold and max-threshold arguments is from 1 to 512000000, the actual values that you can specify depend on the type of random detect you are configuring. For example, the maximum threshold value cannot exceed the queue limit.

Unless the maximum and minimum threshold values for the DSCP values are configured by the user, all DSCP values have the same minimum threshold and maximum threshold values as the value specified for precedence 0.

Specifying the DSCP Value

The random-detect dscp command allows you to specify the DSCP value per traffic class. The DSCP value can be a number from 0 to 63, or it can be one of the following keywords: af11 , af12 , af13 , af21 , af22 , af23 , af31 , af32 , af33 , af41 , af42 , af43 , cs1 , cs2 , cs3 , cs4 , cs5 , cs7 , ef , or rsvp .

On a particular traffic class, eight DSCP values can be configured per traffic class. Overall, 29 values can be configured on a traffic class: 8 precedence values, 12 Assured Forwarding (AF) code points, 1 Expedited Forwarding code point, and 8 user-defined DSCP values.

Assured Forwarding Code Points

The AF code points provide a means for a domain to offer four different levels (four different AF classes) of forwarding assurances for IP packets received from other (such as customer) domains. Each one of the four AF classes is allocated a certain amount of forwarding services (buffer space and bandwidth).

Within each AF class, IP packets are marked with one of three possible drop precedence values (binary 2{010}, 4{100}, or 6{110}), which exist as the three lowest bits in the DSCP header. In congested network environments, the drop precedence value of the packet determines the importance of the packet within the AF class. Packets with higher drop precedence values are discarded before packets with lower drop precedence values.

The upper three bits of the DSCP value determine the AF class; the lower three values determine the drop probability.

Expedited Forwarding Code Points

The EF code point is usually used to mark high-priority, time-sensitive data. The EF code point marking is equal to the highest precedence value; therefore, the EF code point is always equal to precedence value 7.

Class Selector Values

The Class Selector (CS) values are equal to IP precedence values (for instance, cs1 is the same as IP precedence 1).

Default Values

The table below lists the default WRED minimum threshold value for each IP precedence value on the distributed platforms.

Table 2. Default WRED Minimum Threshold Values for the Distributed Platforms
IP (Precedence)	Class Selector (CS) Value	Minimum Threshold Value (Fraction of Maximum Threshold Value)	Notes About the Value
0	cs0	8/16	All DSCP values that are not configured by the user will have the same threshold values as IP precedence 0.
1	cs1	9/16	--
2	cs2	10/16	--
3	cs3	11/16	--
4	cs4	12/16	--
5	cs5	13/16	--
6	cs6	14/16	--
7	cs7	15/16	The EF code point will always be equal to IP precedence 7.

Defaults for Non-VIP-Enabled Cisco 7500 Series Routers and Catalyst 6000 Family Switches with a FlexWAN Module

All platforms except the VIP-enabled Cisco 7500 series router and the Catalyst 6000 have the default values shown in the table below.

If WRED is using the DSCP value to calculate the drop probability of a packet, all 64 entries of the DSCP table are initialized with the default settings shown in the table below.

Release	Modification
12.2(18)SXE	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2(31)SB2	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB2 and implemented on the Cisco 10000 series router.

Usage Guidelines

For ATM interfaces, the Aggregate WRED feature requires that the ATM SPA cards are installed in a Cisco 7600 SIP-200 carrier card or a Cisco 7600 SIP-400 carrier card.

To configure WRED on an ATM interface, you must use therandom-detectaggregate commands; the standard random-detect commands are no longer supported on ATM interfaces.

Use this command with a random-detectaggregate command within a policy map configuration.

Repeat this command for each set of DSCP values that share WRED parameters.

After the policy map is defined, the policy map must be attached at the virtual circuit (VC) level.

The set of subclass (DSCP precedence) values defined on a random-detectdscp (aggregate) CLI will be aggregated into a single hardware WRED resource. The statistics for these subclasses will also be aggregated.

Use the showpolicy-mapinterface command to display the statistics for aggregated subclasses.

Cisco 10000 Series Router

For the PRE2, the random-detect command specifies the default profile for the queue. For the PRE3, the aggregate random-detect command is used instead to configure aggregate parameters for WRED. The PRE3 accepts the PRE2 random-detect command as a hidden command.

On the PRE2, accounting for the default profile is per precedence. On the PRE3, accounting and configuration for the default profile is per class map.

On the PRE2, the default threshold is per precedence for a DSCP or precedence value without an explicit threshold configuration. On the PRE3, the default threshold is to have no WRED configured.

On the PRE2, the drop counter for each precedence belonging to the default profile only has a drop count that matches the specific precedence value. Because the PRE2 has a default threshold for the default profile, the CBQOSMIB displays default threshold values. On the PRE3, the drop counter for each precedence belonging to the default profile has the aggregate counter of the default profile and not the individual counter for a specific precedence. The default profile on the PRE3 does not display any default threshold values in the CBQOSMIB if you do not configure any threshold values for the default profile.

DSCP Values

You must enter one or more differentiated service code point (DSCP) values. The command may include any combination of the following:

numbers (0 to 63) representing differentiated services code point values
af numbers (for example, af11) identifying specific AF DSCPs
cs numbers (for example, cs1) identifying specific CS DSCPs
default --Matches packets with the default DSCP.
ef --Matches packets with EF DSCP.

For example, if you wanted the DCSP values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 (note that only one of the IP DSCP values must be a successful match criterion, not all of the specified DSCP values), enter the matchdscp01234567 command.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a class map named map1 and associate it with the policy map named map2. The configuration enables WRED to drop map1 packets based on DSCP 8 with a minimum threshold of 24 and a maximum threshold of 40. The map2 policy map is attached to the outbound ATM interface 1/0/0.


Router(config-if)# class-map map1
Router(config-cmap)# match access-group 10
Router(config-cmap)# exit
Router(config)# policy-map map2

Router(config-pmap-c)# exit
Router(config-pmap)# exit
Router(config)# interface atm 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# service-policy output map2

The following example shows a DSCP-based aggregate WRED configuration for an ATM interface. Note that first a policy map named dscp-aggr-wred is defined for the default class, then dscp-based aggregate WRED is enabled with the random-detectdscp-basedaggregate command, then subclasses and WRED parameter values are assigned in a series of random-detectdscp(aggregate) commands, and, finally, the policy map is attached at the ATM VC level using the interface and service-policy commands.


Router(config)# policy-map dscp-aggr-wred

Examples

The following example shows how to create a class map named Gold and associate it with the policy map named Business. The configuration enables WRED to drop Gold packets based on DSCP 8 with a minimum threshold of 24 and a maximum threshold of 40. The Business policy map is attached to the outbound ATM interface 1/0/0.

15.0(1)S	This command was modified. This command was hidden in interface configuration mode.
15.1(3)T	This command was modified. This command was hidden in interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

WRED is a congestion avoidance mechanism that slows traffic by randomly dropping packets when congestion exists. DWRED is similar to WRED but uses the VIP instead of the Route Switch Processor (RSP). WRED and DWRED are most useful with protocols like TCP that respond to dropped packets by decreasing the transmission rate.

Use this command to change the exponent used in the average queue size calculation for the WRED and DWRED services. You can also use this command to configure the exponential weight factor for the average queue size calculation for the queue reserved for a class.

Note

The default WRED or DWRED parameter values are based on the best available data. We recommend that you do not change the parameters from their default values unless you have determined that your applications would benefit from the changed values.

The DWRED feature is not supported for class policy.

The DWRED feature is supported only on Cisco 7000 series routers with an RSP7000 card and Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP2-40 or greater interface processor. A VIP2-50 interface processor is strongly recommended when the aggregate line rate of the port adapters on the VIP is greater than DS3. A VIP2-50 interface processor is required for OC-3 rates.

To use DWRED, distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF) switching must first be enabled on the interface. For more information on dCEF, refer to the Cisco IOS IP Switching Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference.

Examples

The following example configures WRED on an interface with a weight factor of 10:


interface Hssi0/0/0
 description 45Mbps to R1
 ip address 10.200.14.250 255.255.255.252
 random-detect
 random-detect exponential-weighting-constant 10

The following example configures the policy map called policy1 to contain policy specification for the class called class1. During times of congestion, WRED packet drop is used instead of tail drop. The weight factor used for the average queue size calculation for the queue for class1 is 12.


! The following commands create the class map called class1:
class-map class1
 match input-interface FE0/1
! The following commands define policy1 to contain policy specification for class1:
policy-map policy1
 class class1
 bandwidth 1000
 random-detect
 random-detect exponential-weighting-constant 12

The following example configures policy for a traffic class named int10 to configure the exponential weight factor as 12. This is the weight factor used for the average queue size calculation for the queue for traffic class int10. WRED packet drop is used for congestion avoidance for traffic class int10, not tail drop.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify the scaling factor that flow-based WRED should use in scaling the number of buffers available per flow and in determining the number of packets allowed in the output queue for each active flow. This scaling factor is common to all flows. The outcome of the scaled number of buffers becomes the per-flow limit.

If this command is not used and flow-based WRED is enabled, the average depth scaling factor defaults to 4.

A flow is considered nonadaptive--that is, it takes up too much of the resources--when the average flow depth times the specified multiplier (scaling factor) is less than the depth for the flow, for example:

average-flow-depth * (scaling factor) < flow-depth

Before you use this command, you must use the random-detectflow command to enable flow-based WRED for the interface. To configure flow-based WRED, you may also use the random-detectflowcount command.

Examples

The following example enables flow-based WRED on serial interface 1 and sets the scaling factor for the average flow depth to 8:

To return the values to the default for the precedence, use the no form of this command.

random-detect precedence {precedence | rsvp} min-threshold max-threshold mark-probability-denominator

no random-detect precedence

Syntax Description


`precedence`	IP precedence number. The value range is from 0 to 7. For Cisco 7000 series routers with an RSP7000 interface processor and Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP2-40 interface processor (the VIP2-50 interface processor is strongly recommended), the precedence value range is from 0 to 7; see Table 1 in the “Usage Guidelines” section.
rsvp	Indicates Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) traffic.
`min-threshold`	Minimum threshold in number of packets. The value range of this argument is from 1 to 512000000. When the average queue length reaches the minimum threshold, WRED or dWRED randomly drop some packets with the specified IP precedence.
`max-threshold`	Maximum threshold in number of packets. The value range of this argument is from the value of the min-threshold argument to 512000000. When the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold, WRED or dWRED drop all packets with the specified IP precedence.
`mark-probability-denominator`	Denominator for the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. For example, if the denominator is 512, 1 out of every 512 packets is dropped when the average queue is at the maximum threshold. The value range is from 1 to 65536. The default is 10; that is 1 out of every 10 packets is dropped at the maximum threshold.

Command Default

For all precedences, the mark-probability-denominator default value is 10, and the max-threshold value is based on the output buffering capacity and the transmission speed for the interface.

The default min-threshold value depends on the precedence. The min-threshold value for IP precedence 0 corresponds to half of the max-threshold value. The values for the remaining precedences fall between half the max-threshold value and the max-threshold value at evenly spaced intervals. See the table in the “Usage Guidelines” section of this command for a list of the default minimum threshold values for each IP precedence.

Usage Guidelines

WRED is a congestion avoidance mechanism that slows traffic by randomly dropping packets when congestion exists. dWRED is similar to WRED but uses the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) instead of the Route Switch Processor (RSP).

When you configure the random-detect command on an interface, packets are given preferential treatment based on the IP precedence of the packet. Use the random-detect precedence command to adjust the treatment for different precedences.

If you want WRED or dWRED to ignore the precedence when determining which packets to drop, enter this command with the same parameters for each precedence. Remember to use appropriate values for the minimum and maximum thresholds.

Note that if you use the random-detect precedence command to adjust the treatment for different precedences within class policy, you must ensure that WRED is not configured for the interface to which you attach that service policy.

Note

Although the range of values for the min-threshold and max-threshold arguments is from 1 to 512000000, the actual values that you can specify depend on the type of random detect you are configuring. For example, the maximum threshold value cannot exceed the queue limit.

The table below lists the default minimum threshold value for each IP precedence.

Table 4. Default WRED and dWRED Minimum Threshold Values
	Minimum Threshold Value (Fraction of Maximum Threshold Value)
IP Precedence	WRED	dWRED
0	9/18	8/16
1	10/18	9/16
2	11/18	10/16
3	12/18	11/16
4	13/18	12/16
5	14/18	13/16
6	15/18	14/16
7	16/18	15/16
rsvp	17/18	—

Note

The default WRED or dWRED parameter values are based on the best available data. We recommend that you do not change the parameters from their default values unless you have determined that your applications would benefit from the changed values.

The dWRED feature is supported only on Cisco 7000 series routers with an RSP7000 card and Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP2-40 or higher interface processor. A VIP2-50 interface processor is strongly recommended when the aggregate line rate of the port adapters on the VIP is greater than DS3. A VIP2-50 interface processor is required for OC-3 rates.

To use dWRED, distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF) switching must first be enabled on the interface. For more information on dCEF, refer to the Cisco IOS IP Switching Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference.

Note

The dWRED feature is not supported in a class policy.

Examples

The following example shows the configuration to enable WRED on the interface and to specify parameters for the different IP precedences:


interface Hssi0/0/0
 description 45Mbps to R1
 ip address 10.200.14.250 255.255.255.252

 random-detect precedence 6 290 256 100
 random-detect precedence 7 210 256 100
 random-detect precedence rsvp 230 256 100

The following example shows the configuration for the policy for a class called acl10 included in a policy map called policy10. Class acl101 has these characteristics: a minimum of 2000 kb/s of bandwidth are expected to be delivered to this class in the event of congestion and a weight factor of 10 is used to calculate the average queue size. For congestion avoidance, WRED packet drop is used, not tail drop. IP precedence is reset for levels 0 through 4.

12.2(31)SB	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB and implemented on the Cisco 10000 series router for the PRE3.

Usage Guidelines

For ATM interfaces, the Aggregate WRED feature requires that the ATM SPA cards are installed in a Cisco 7600 SIP-200 carrier card or a Cisco 7600 SIP-400 carrier card.

To configure WRED on an ATM interface, you must use the random-detect aggregate commands; the standard random-detect commands are no longer supported on ATM interfaces

Use this command with a random-detectaggregate command within a policy map configuration.

Repeat this command for each set of IP precedence values that share WRED parameters.

After the policy map is defined, the policy map must be attached at the VC level.

The set of subclass (IP precedence) values defined on a random-detectprecedence (aggregate) CLI will be aggregated into a single hardware WRED resource. The statistics for these subclasses will also be aggregated.

Use the showpolicy-mapinterface command to display the statistics for aggregated subclasses.

Cisco 10000 Series Router

The table below lists the default drop thresholds for WRED based on DSCP, IP precedence, and discard-class. The drop probability indicates that the router drops one packet for every 10 packets.

Table 5. WRED Default Drop Thresholds
DSCP, Precedence, and Discard-Class Values	Minimum Threshold (times the queue size)	Maximum Threshold (times the queue size)	Drop Probability
All DSCPs	1/4	1/2	1/10

1	9/32	1/2	1/10
2	5/16	1/2	1/10

5	13/32	1/2	1/10
6	7/16	1/2	1/10
7	15/32	1/2	1/10

For the PRE2, the random-detect command specifies the default profile for the queue. For the PRE3, the aggregate random-detect command is used instead to configure aggregate parameters for WRED. The PRE3 accepts the PRE2 random-detect command as a hidden CLI.

On the PRE2, accounting for the default profile is per precedence. On the PRE3, accounting and configuration for the default profile is per class map.

On the PRE2, the default threshold is per precedence for a DSCP or precedence value without an explicit threshold configuration. On the PRE3, the default threshold is to have no WRED configured.

On the PRE2, the drop counter for each precedence belonging to the default profile only has a drop count that matches the specific precedence value. Because the PRE2 has a default threshold for the default profile, the CBQOSMIB displays default threshold values. On the PRE3, the drop counter for each precedence belonging to the default profile has the aggregate counter of the default profile and not the individual counter for a specific precedence. The default profile on the PRE3 does not display any default threshold values in the CBQOSMIB if you do not configure any threshold values for the default profile.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable IP precedence-based WRED on the Cisco 10000 series router. In this example, the configuration of the class map named Class1 indicates to classify traffic based on IP precedence 3, 4, and 5. Traffic that matches IP precedence 3, 4, or 5 is assigned to the class named Class1 in the policy map named Policy1. WRED-based packet dropping is configured for Class1 and is based on IP precedence 3 with a minimum threshold of 500, maximum threshold of 1500, and a mark-probability-denominator of 200. The QoS policy is applied to PVC 1/32 on the point-to-point ATM subinterface 1/0/0.1.

Note

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S and Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T, the random-detect-group command is hidden. Although this command is still available in Cisco IOS software, the CLI interactive Help does not display it if you attempt to view it by entering a question mark at the command line. This command will be completely removed in a future release. For more information, see the "Legacy QoS Command Deprecation" feature document in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.

To define the Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) or distributed WRED (DWRED) parameter group, use the random-detect-group command in global configuration mode. To delete the WRED or DWRED parameter group, use the no form of this command.

random-detect-group group-name [dscp-based | prec-based]

Usage Guidelines

WRED is a congestion avoidance mechanism that slows traffic by randomly dropping packets when there is congestion. DWRED is similar to WRED but uses the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) instead of the Route Switch Processor (RSP). WRED and DWRED are most useful when the traffic uses protocols such as TCP that respond to dropped packets by decreasing the transmission rate.

The router automatically determines parameters to use in the WRED calculations. If you want to change these parameters for a group, use the exponential-weighting-constant or precedence command.

Two Methods for Calculating the Drop Probability of a Packet

This command includes two optional arguments, dscp-based and prec-based , that determine the method WRED uses to calculate the drop probability of a packet.

Note the following points when deciding which method to instruct WRED to use:

With the dscp-based keyword, WRED uses the DSCP value (that is, the first six bits of the IP type of service (ToS) byte) to calculate the drop probability.
With the prec-based keyword, WRED will use the IP Precedence value to calculate the drop probability.
The dscp-based and prec-based keywords are mutually exclusive.
If neither argument is specified, WRED uses the IP Precedence value to calculate the drop probability (the default method).

Examples

The following example defines the WRED parameter group called sanjose:


random-detect-group sanjose
 precedence 0 32 256 100
 precedence 1 64 256 100
 precedence 2 96 256 100
 precedence 3 128 256 100
 precedence 4 160 256 100
 precedence 5 192 256 100
 precedence 6 224 256 100
 precedence 7 256 256 100

The following example enables WRED to use the DSCP value 9. The minimum threshold for the DSCP value 9 is 20 and the maximum threshold is 50. This configuration can be attached to other virtual circuits (VCs) as required.


Router(config)# random-detect-group sanjose dscp-based
Router(cfg-red-grp)# dscp 9 20 50
Router(config-subif-vc)# random-detect attach sanjose

CAR and DCAR can be configured on an interface or subinterface.

Policing Traffic with CAR

CAR embodies a rate-limiting feature for policing traffic. When policing traffic with CAR, Cisco recommends the following values for the normal and extended burst parameters:

normal burst (in bytes) = configured rate (in bits per second) * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds

17.000.000 * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds = 3.187.500 bytes

extended burst = 2 * normal burst

2 * 3.187.500 = 6.375.000 bytes

With the listed choices for parameters, extensive test results have shown CAR to achieve the configured rate. If the burst values are too low, then the achieved rate is often much lower than the configured rate.

For more information about using CAR to police traffic, see the “Policing with CAR” section of the “Policing and Shaping Overview” in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide .

Examples

In the following example, the recommended burst parameters for CAR are used:


Router(config)# interface serial6/1/0

Router(config-if)# rate-limitinputaccess-group11700000031875006375000conform-actiontransmitexceed-actiondrop

In the following example, the rate is limited by the application in question:

All World Wide Web traffic is transmitted. However, the MPLS experimental field for web traffic that conforms to the first rate policy is set to 5. For nonconforming traffic, the IP precedence is set to 0 (best effort). See the following commands in the example:


rate-limit input rate-limit access-group 101 20000000 24000 32000 conform-action
set-mpls-exp-transmit 5 exceed-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 0
access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq www

FTP traffic is transmitted with an MPLS experimental field value of 5 if it conforms to the second rate policy. If the FTP traffic exceeds the rate policy, it is dropped. See the following commands in the example:


rate-limit input access-group 102 10000000 24000 32000
conform-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 5 exceed-action drop
access-list 102 permit tcp any any eq ftp

Any remaining traffic is limited to 8 Mbps, with a normal burst size of 1,500,000 bytes and an excess burst size of 3,000,000 bytes. Traffic that conforms is sent with an MPLS experimental field of 5. Traffic that does not conform is dropped. See the following command in the example:


rate-limit input 8000000 1500000 3000000 conform-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 5
exceed-action drop

Notice that two access lists are created to classify the web and FTP traffic so that they can be handled separately by the CAR feature.


Router(config)# interface Hssi0/0/0
Router(config-if)# description 45Mbps to R2
Router(config-if)# rate-limit input rate-limit access-group 101 20000000 3750000 7500000
conform-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 5 exceed-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 0
Router(config-if)# rate-limit input access-group 102 10000000 1875000 3750000
conform-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 5 exceed-action drop
Router(config-if)# rate-limit input 8000000 1500000 3000000 conform-action
set-mpls-exp-transmit 5 exceed-action drop
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
!
Router(config-if)# access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq www
Router(config-if)# access-list 102 permit tcp any any eq ftp

In the following example, the MPLS experimental field is set, and the packet is transmitted:


Router(config)# interface FastEthernet1/1/0
Router(config-if)# rate-limit input 8000 1500 3000 access-group conform-action
set mpls-exp-transmit 5 exceed-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 5

In the following example, any packet with a DSCP of 1 can apply the rate limit:


Router(config)# interface serial6/1/0

rcv-queue threshold

To configure the drop-threshold percentages for the standard receive queues on 1p1q4t and 1p1q0t interfaces, use the rcv-queuethreshold command in interface configuration mode. To return the thresholds to the default settings, use the no form of this command.

rcv-queue threshold queue-id threshold-percent-1 threshold-percent-n

no rcv-queue threshold

Syntax Description


`queue-id`	Queue ID; the valid value is 1.
`threshold-` `percent-1` `...` `threshold-` `percent-n`	Threshold ID; valid values are from 1 to 100 percent .

Command Default

The defaults for the 1p1q4t and 1p1q0t configurations are as follows:

Quality of service (QoS) assigns all traffic with class of service (CoS) 5 to the strict-priority queue.
QoS assigns all other traffic to the standard queue.

The default for the 1q4t configuration is that QoS assigns all traffic to the standard queue.

If you enable QoS, the following default thresholds apply:

1p1q4t interfaces have this default drop-threshold configuration:
- Frames with CoS 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 7 go to the standard receive queue.
- Using standard receive-queue drop threshold 1, the Cisco 7600 series router drops incoming frames with CoS 0 or 1 when the receive-queue buffer is 50 percent or more full.
- Using standard receive-queue drop threshold 2, the Cisco 7600 series router drops incoming frames with CoS 2 or 3 when the receive-queue buffer is 60 percent or more full.
- Using standard receive-queue drop threshold 3, the Cisco 7600 series router drops incoming frames with CoS 4 when the receive-queue buffer is 80 percent or more full.
- Using standard receive-queue drop threshold 4, the Cisco 7600 series router drops incoming frames with CoS 6 or 7 when the receive-queue buffer is 100 percent full.
- Frames with CoS 5 go to the strict-priority receive queue (queue 2), where the Cisco 7600 series router drops incoming frames only when the strict-priority receive-queue buffer is 100 percent full.
1p1q0t interfaces have this default drop-threshold configuration:
- Frames with CoS 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 7 go to the standard receive queue. The Cisco 7600 series router drops incoming frames when the receive-queue buffer is 100 percent full.
- Frames with CoS 5 go to the strict-priority receive queue (queue 2), where the Cisco 7600 series router drops incoming frames only when the strict-priority receive-queue buffer is 100 percent full.

Note

The 100-percent threshold may be actually changed by the module to 98 percent to allow Bridge Protocol Data Unite (BPDU) traffic to proceed. The BPDU threshold is factory set at 100 percent.

To enable Enhanced Compressed Real-Time Transport Protocol (ECRTP), use the recoverable-loss command in IPHC-profile configuration mode. To disable ECRTP, use the no form of this command.

recoverable-loss {dynamic | packet-drops}

no recoverable-loss

Syntax Description


dynamic	Indicates that the dynamic recoverable loss calculation is used.
`packet-drops`	Maximum number of consecutive packet drops. Range is from 1 to 8.

Command Default

ECRTP is disabled.

Command Modes

IPHC-profile configuration (config-iphcp)

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.
12.4(11)T	Support was added for Frame Relay encapsulation.

Usage Guidelines

The recoverable-loss command is part of the ECRTP feature.

ECRPT Functionality

ECRTP reduces corruption by managing the way the compressor updates the context information at the decompressor. The compressor sends updated context information periodically to keep the compressor and decompressor synchronized. By repeating the updates, the probability of context corruption because of packet loss is minimized.

The synchronization of context information between the compressor and the decompressor can be performed dynamically (by specifying the dynamic keyword) or whenever a specific number of packets are dropped (by using the packet-drops argument).

The number of packet drops represents the quality of the link between the hosts. The lower the number of packet drops, the higher the quality of the link between the hosts.

The packet drops value is maintained independently for each context and does not have to be the same for all contexts.

Note

If you specify the number of packet drops with the packet-drops argument, the recoverable-loss command automatically enables ECRTP.

Intended for Use with IPHC Profiles

The recoverable-loss command is intended for use as part of an IP Header Compression (IPHC) profile. An IPHC profile is used to enable and configure header compression on a network. For more information about using IPHC profiles to configure header compression, see the “Header Compression” module and the “Configuring Header Compression Using IPHC Profiles” module of the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide , Release 12.4T.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an IPHC profile called profile2. In this example, ECRTP is enabled with a maximum number of five consecutive packet drops.


Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# iphc-profile profile2 ietf
Router(config-iphcp)# recoverable-loss 5
Router(config-iphcp)# end
