Configuring Resource Management

Configuring Resource Management

This chapter describes resource management (RM), which involves modeling and managing switch, interface, and connection resources, such as equivalent bandwidth and buffering, to support the provision of specified traffic classes.

The LightStream 1010 ATM switch RM software provides the following functions:

RM configuration is comprised of the following tasks:

ASP Feature Card Configuration Affects Resource Management

Two types of feature cards are available for the LightStream 1010 ATM switch: the Feature Card Per-class Queueing (FC-PCQ) and Feature Card Per-flow Queueing (FC-PFQ). Each card provides the required ATM Forum Traffic Management features. FC-PCQ contains a subset of the FC-PFQ features, as described in Table 9-1.


Note To determine which feature card you have installed, enter the show hardware privileged EXEC command. Either FeatureCard1 (FC-PCQ) or FC-PFQ displays in the Ctrlr-Type column.

Configure Global Resource Management Tasks

Global RM configurations affect all interfaces on the switch. The following sections describe global RM tasks:

Configure the Default QoS Objective Table

Since UNI 3 signaling does not provide information elements (IEs) to signal QoS values, RM provides a table of default objective values for QoS for guaranteed service categories. These values are used as the criteria for connection setup requirements. They are either metric values (accumulated over multiple hops of a call) or attributes (a gating criterion that is not accumulated, but is checked at each interface). Maximum cell transfer delay and peak-to-peak cell delay variation are metrics, while cell loss ratio is an attribute.


Note Default objective values for QoS for guaranteed service categories can be configured for UNI 4.0 signaling.

Table 9-2 lists the default values of the QoS objective table.

Row Contents

Each objective can have a defined or undefined value. If undefined, the objective is not considered in connection setup.

This table should be configured with the same values for an entire network.

To configure the default QoS objective table, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode:
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Select the ATM QoS default CBR2 or VBR-RT3 maximum cell transfer delay.

atm qos default {cbr | vbr-rt} max-cell-transfer-delay {microseconds | any}

Select the ATM QoS default CBR or VBR-RT peak-to-peak cell-delay variation.

atm qos default {cbr | vbr-rt} peak-to-peak cell-delay variation {microseconds | any}

Select the ATM QoS default CBR, VBR-RT, or VBR-NRT4 maximum cell transfer delay.

atm qos default {cbr | vbr-rt | vbr-nrt} peak-to-peak max-cell-transfer-delay {microseconds | any}

1These commands are documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.
2CBR = constant bit rate
3
VBR-RT = variable bit rate-realtime
4VBR-NRT = variable bit rate-nonrealtime

Example

The following example shows how to change the CBR maximum cell loss ratio objective for cell loss priority (CLP) = 0+1 to 10-12 cells per second:

Switch(config)# atm qos default cbr max-cell-loss-ratio clp1plus0 12
Switch(config)# 

Display the ATM QoS Objective Table

Use the show atm qos-defaults command to display the default QoS objective table. Perform the following task in user EXEC mode:
Task Command

Display the ATM QoS objective table configuration.

show atm qos-defaults

The per-service category, maximum cell transfer delay, peak-to-peak cell delay variation, and maximum cell loss ratio objectives are displayed.

Example

The following example shows how to display the ATM QoS objective table configuration:

Switch# show atm qos-defaults
Default QoS objective table:
    Max cell transfer delay (in microseconds): any cbr, any vbr-rt
    Peak-to-peak cell  delay variation (in microseconds): any cbr, any vbr-rt
    Max cell loss ratio for CLP0 cells: any cbr, any vbr-rt, any vbr-nrt
    Max cell loss ratio for CLP0+1 cells:  10**(-12) cbr, any vbr-rt, any vbr-nrt
Switch# 

Configure the Switch Oversubscription Factor

The switch oversubscription factor (OSF) is used in determining initial port maximum queue sizing for VBR-NRT and available bit rate/unspecified bit rate (ABR/UBR) queues.


Note This value can be changed at any time, but it is only used at startup and when a module is hot-swapped from the chassis.

The size of the VBR-NRT and ABR-UBR queues is determined by the following equations, where the default size of the CBR and VBR queues vary by interface type as listed in Table 9-3:

Default Size (VBR-NRT) = 0.25 * ((OSF * 2048) - DefaultSize(CBR) - DefaultSize (VBR-RT))
Default Size (ABR-UBR) = 0.75 * ((OSF * 2048) - DefaultSize(CBR) - DefaultSize (VBR-RT))

Configure the Service Category Limits

The service category limit configuration limits the number of cells admitted into the switch, as determined by the type of output queues.


Note Service category limits configuration is only possible on switches with Feature Card FC-PCQ installed on the ASP.

Caution Setting a service category limit to 0 causes the connection requests for the associated service categories to be rejected.


To configure the service category limits, perform the following task in global configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to assign the default value:
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Configure ATM service category limits for a specific output queue.

atm service-category-limit {cbr | vbr-rt | vbr-nrt | abr-ubr} l-value

1These commands are documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.


Note The atm service-category-limit command affects all connections, including those already established.
Example

The following example shows how to change the service category limit for the CBR cells within the switch fabric to 3000 cells:

Switch(config)# atm service category-limit cbr 3000
Switch(config)# 

Display the Resource Management Configuration

To display the service category limits configuration, perform the following task in user EXEC mode:
Task Command

Configure the Available Bit Rate Congestion Notification Mode

The ABR congestion notification mode changes the type of notification used on ABR connections to alert the end station of congestion. ABR mode configuration determines whether ABR uses explicit forward congestion indication (EFCI) marking, relative-rate marking, or both, for rate management on ABR connections.

The global configuration function is used to modify the ABR mode selection for all ABR connections.

To configure the ABR mode, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to assign the default value:
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Configure ABR congestion notification mode.

atm abr-mode {efci | relative-rate | all}

1These commands are documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.


Note The atm abr-mode command affects all connections, including those already established.
Example

The following example shows how to configure the entire switch to set the EFCI bit whenever a cell arrives on a congested ABR connection:

Switch(config)# atm abr-mode efci
Switch(config)#

Configure the Connection Traffic Table

A row in the CTT must be created for each unique combination of traffic parameters. Virtual path links (VPLs) and virtual channel links (VCLs) then specify traffic by specifying a row in the table per flow (receive and transmit). Many VCL/VPLs can refer to the same row in the traffic table.

Switches with Feature Card FC-PFQ and software version 11.2(8) installed on the ASP have more rows of various service categories. That allow you to specify the following features:

If your switch has Feature Card FC-PCQ installed on the ASP you cannot take advantage of these new capabilities. CTT rows specifying these new parameters can be configured with Feature Card FC-PCQ installed, with the following effect:

PVC Connection Traffic Rows

The CTT in permanent virtual channel (PVC) setup requires storing PVC traffic values in a CTT data structure. Rows used for PVCs are called stable rows, and contain traffic parameters.

SVC Connection Traffic Rows

The CTT in switched virtual circuit (SVC) setup provides a row identifier that Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or the user interface can use to read or display SVC traffic parameters. A CTT row index is stored in the connection-leg data structure for each flow of the connection.


Note Rows cannot be deleted while in use by a connection.

To make CTT management software more efficient, the CTT row-index space is split into rows allocated as a result of signaling and rows allocated from the command-line interface (CLI) and SNMP. Table 9-4 describes the row-index range for both.

The atm connection-traffic-table-row command has five variables---one for each service category (CBR, VBR-RT, VBR-NRT, ABR and UBR). To create or delete a CTT row, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode. Use the no form of these commands to assign the default value.
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

Configure the Threshold Group

Threshold groups combine VCs/VPs to determine per-connection thresholds, based on the use of memory by the group.


Note You must have Feature Card FC-PFQ installed on your ASP to configure this feature. See the section "ASP Feature Card Configuration Affects Resource Management" for additional information.

The initial default configuration of per-VC queueing on the switch has all connections of a service category assigned to one threshold group. However, the assignment of service categories to threshold groups is configurable. A service category cannot be mapped to more than one threshold group. If you configure a service category to a threshold group more than once, the last configuration will be in effect. The default assigns each service category to a different threshold group. However, you can assign more than one service category to a threshold group.


Note The configuration of threshold groups is static, not dynamic.

As a threshold group congests (the cumulative number of cells on the queues of VCs in the threshold group approaches the configured max-cells value), the maximum number of cells per-queue shrinks from the threshold group max-queue-limit to min-queue-limit.


Note If the max- and min-queue-limits are equal, the queue size does not reduce as the group congests.

In the congestion range of 0 cells (uncongested) to 1/8th full, the connection queues are limited to max-queue-size. In the congestion range of 7/8ths full to completely full, the connection queues are limited to min-queue-size.

The switch hardware is not capable of providing all possible max-cell values in the range. Instead, the max-cell value used is the closest number of cells greater than that specified. The possible values are {(64*i)-1,  1<=i<=1024}.

Also, the switch hardware is not capable of providing all possible max-queue-limit values in the range. Instead, the max-queue-limit value used is the closest number of cells greater than that specified. The possible values are {(16*i)-1, 2<=i<=1024}. The hardware can support all values of min-queue-size (1-1023).

The threshold group configuration parameters are as follows:

Configuration parameter defaults are defined in Table 9-6.

Configure Physical Interface Tasks

Physical interface RM configurations affect only specific interfaces on the switch. The following sections describe physical interface configuration RM tasks:

Configure the Interface Maximum Queue Size

Maximum queue size is used to determine the following:


Note You must have Feature Card FC-PCQ installed on your ASP to configure this feature. See the section "
ASP Feature Card Configuration Affects Resource Management" for additional information.

Because not all queue size values are supported by the switch fabric, the value installed is displayed, as well as the configuration value requested. The value installed is always greater than or equal to that requested.

To configure the maximum queue size, perform the following task in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to assign the default value:.
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Select the interface to be configured.

interface atm card/subcard/port

Configure the ATM output queue maximum size.

atm output-queue [force] {cbr | vbr-rt | vbr-nrt | abr-ubr} max-size size-number

1These commands are documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.


Note The atm output-queue command affects all connections, including those already established.

This command is not applicable for subinterface level configuration. For other restrictions see the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.

If the interface status is up, the force parameter is required before the request is completed. If the request is forced, output on the interface is briefly disabled, cells on the output queue are discarded, and the queue size is changed to the new limit. Any impact on existing connections by the implicit change in guaranteed maximum CTD and peak-to-peak CDV is not considered before making the change. Subsequent setup of SVC connections will be affected.

The size-number argument is the queue size in cells 32 to 65,504. The number is rounded up to the closest multiple of 32.


Note The queue must be momentarily disabled to change the threshold.
Example

The following example shows how to configure the CBR ATM output queue maximum size to 30,000 cells:

Switch(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
Switch(config-if)# atm output-queue force cbr max-size 30000
Switch(config-if)#

Configure the Interface Queue Thresholds per Service Category

The queue thresholds can be specified for the different levels of service and configured on each interface queue. The following queue thresholds can be configured:


Note Interface queue threshold per service category configuration is only possible on switches with Feature Card FC-PCQ installed on the ASP.

These queue thresholds can be changed at any time. The result changes the threshold for all connections of that service category using the interface for output and for any subsequent connections.


Note The CLP and PD discard threshold and ABR relative rate threshold have finer granularity than the EFCI threshold.

To configure the output threshold, perform the following tasks in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of these commands to assign the default value:
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Select the interface to be configured.

interface atm card/subcard/port

Configure the ATM output discard threshold.

atm output-threshold {cbr | vbr-rt | vbr-nrt | abr | ubr} discard-threshold disc-thresh-num

Configure the ATM output threshold.

atm output-threshold {cbr | vbr-rt | vbr-nrt | abr | ubr} efci-threshold efci-thresh-number

Configure the ATM output threshold ABR.

1These commands are documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.


Note These commands affects all connections, including those already established.

These commands are not applicable for subinterface level configurations. For other restrictions see the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.

The disc-thresh-number and abr-thresh-number arguments are 12, 25, 37, 50, 62, 75, 87, or 100, indicating the percentage of queue that is full. The efci-thresh-number argument is 12, 25, 50, or 100, indicating the percentage of queue that is full.

The associated threshold function can be disabled by setting the threshold to 100 percent.

Default

For all service categories, discard-threshold is 50 percent, efci-threshold is 25 percent, and abr-relative-rate is 25 percent.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the interface output threshold CBR discard threshold to 87 percent of maximum size:

Switch(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
Switch(config-if)# atm output-threshold cbr discard 87
Switch(config-if)# 

The following example shows how to configure the interface output discard threshold for CBR EFCI threshold to 50 percent of maximum size:

Configure the Interface Output Pacing

Output pacing is used to artificially reduce the output speed of an interface in kilobits per second (kbps).

Output pacing can be changed at any time or enabled or disabled. When an output pacing change request is made, RM determines whether the change will not provide the guaranteed bandwidth at the outbound port for the existing virtual channels/virtual paths (VCs/VPs). Guaranteed bandwidth is reserved for CBR and VBR connections.

To enable or change an interface output pacing rate, perform the following tasks in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of these commands to assign the default value:
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Select the interface to be configured.

interface atm card/subcard/port

Configure the interface output pacing.

atm pacing kbps [force]

1These commands are documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.

The force argument indicates that the change should be made even if it results in an output cell rate that does not provide sufficient bandwidth for guaranteed service on the interface transmit flow. The force argument has no affect on systems with Feature Card FC-PFQ installed on the ASP.


Note The atm pacing command affects all connections, including those already established.

The granularity of pacing rate is determined by the physical interface, and it varies with the size of the bit rate requested. The value entered is rounded up to the closest value available.

This command does not apply to the CPU interface (2/0/0) or subinterfaces. For other restrictions, see the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.

Example

The following example shows how to configure the interface output pacing to 10,000 kbps:

Scheduler and Service Class

A Service Class denotes one of the scheduling classes referred to as output virtual circuit (OVC) quality of Service (QoS) Classes. Up to eight service classes can be allocated to each physical interface (PIF) port. In scheduling the next cell to be transmitted from a port, the rate scheduler (RS) has first call on supplying an eligible cell, and if RS does not have one, then SP/WRR scheduler chooses a service class with an OVC ready to transmit and finally a VC within the service class is selected.


Note You must have Feature Card FC-PFQ installed on your ASP to configure this feature. See the section "
ASP Feature Card Configuration Affects Resource Management" for additional information.

ATM service categories are mapped statically to service classes, as shown in Table 9-8, where service class 1 has the highest scheduling priority.


Table 9-8: ATM Service Category to Service Class
Service Category Service Class

CBR

1

VBR-RT

2

VBR-NRT

ABR

UBR

5

The first scheduling decision is made based on whether any rate-scheduled cell is ready (as decided by the timewheel rate scheduler for an interface). Whether a VC uses the rate scheduler is not user-configurable.

Table 9-9 lists the cell rates that are guaranteed by the rate scheduler for each service category.

MCR (if specified)

If the timewheel RS does not have an OVC ready to transmit, the strict priority/weighted-round-robin (SP/WRR) scheduler becomes active to pick out an OVC to transmit a cell. The SP/WRR uses the interface bandwidth left over after guaranteed cell service to transmit cells. Thus, an OVC of a service category, other than a CBR OVC, can be serviced by both the rate scheduler and the SP/WRR scheduler. A CBR OVC is not allowed to be serviced by the SP/WRR scheduler because its PCR is already guaranteed by the rate scheduler. (Any additional cell transmission by the SP/WRR out of that OVC is likely to arrive too soon at the next switch and may be policed.)

The following service categories can be serviced by the SP/WRR scheduler:

The combined effect of the two schedulers is illustrated in Figure 9-1.


Figure 9-1: Rate and SP/WRR scheduling of cells through an output interface


Service classes scheduled by the SP/WRR can be further subdivided into two subsets, one of which is scheduled by strict priority (SP) between classes, the other WRR between classes. The SP subset can be any number of contiguous classes, starting with class 2.


Note Service class 1 serves CBR connections and is not allowed to be a member of the SP/WRR because its PCR is already guaranteed by the rate scheduler.

The WRR subset can be any number of contiguous classes, starting with the class one level lower in priority than the lowest priority class serviced by the SP. Each service class (other than service class 1) must be a member of a subset, and each subset can be null. For example, SP:{2}, WRR:{3,4,5}. The default configuration is SP:{}, WRR:{2,3,4,5}.

Configure Interface Tasks

The following sections describe interface configuration RM tasks for both physical and logical interface types:

Configure the Outbound Link Distance

Specifying the physical link distance for the next ATM hop in the outbound direction allows you to increase the propagation delay. Propagation delay is used in determining the connection admission control (CAC) maximum CTD provided on the output by a switch interface, which can affect the SVC connection requests accepted.

To configure the ATM link distance, perform the following tasks in subinterface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to assign the default value:
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Select the interface to be configured.

interface atm card/subcard/port [.vpt #]

Configure the ATM Default CDVT and MBS

You can change the default cell delay variation tolerance (CDVT) and maximum burst size (MBS) to request for UPC of cells received on the interface for connections that do not individually request a CDVT or MBS value. Use the atm  cdvt-default or atm mbs-default interface configuration commands. To reset the default CDVT for a particular service category to the default value, use the no form of this command.

You can specify CDVT or MBS for PVCs through a connection traffic table row. If no CDVT or MBS is specified in the row, then a per-interface, per-service category default is applied for purposes of UPC on the connection.


Note For signaled connections, CDVT or MBS cannot be signaled and the defaults specified on the interface apply.

To configure the default CDVT and MBS parameters, perform the following task in interface configuration mode. Use the no form of these commands to assign the default value.
Task Command

At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter configuration mode from the terminal.

configure1
[terminal]

Specify an ATM interface and enter interface configuration mode.

interface atm card/subcard/port

Configure the ATM CDVT default.

atm cdvt-default {cbr | vbr-rt | vbr-nrt | abr | ubr} num

Configure the ATM MBS default.

atm mbs-default {vbr-rt | vbr-nrt} num

1These commands are documented in the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference (11.2) publication.

Examples

The following example shows how to change the default tolerance for received cells on VBR-RT connections:

Switch(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
Switch(config-if)# atm cdvt-default vbr-rt 4000
Switch(config-if)#
