Purpose
TDM traffic Packet traffic
All services have the same QoS QoS differentiation
Guaranteed bandwidth Overbooking
Circuits (one E1 -> one i/f -> reserved Packets (many Services in one i/f
capacity) sharing same capacity)
Provisioning is inherent in equipment Equipment commissioning + Service
commissioning (Cabling and cross Configuration, SLA, QoS
connection) differentiation
NE performance monitoring: all traffic Service oriented and E2E
in an E1 i/f has the same Performance monitoring
performance.

 Quality of Service

Quality of Service (QoS) implies the ability of the network to provide better or
special service to a set of user/application.
How QoS is done?

Classification Marker Policer Buffer manager Queue

For internal use

16 Nokia Siemens Networks MWR Experts enabling workshop 12th-16th October 2009
 Goals of QoS and SLA enforcement

1. Delay-sensitive traffic gets through with the minimum delay

and frame jitter (= delay variation)
2. The CIR for each service is always delivered according to
SLA quality targets
3. Each node gets a fair treatment regarding the EIR
4. Congestion avoidance respects the SLA
CIR is guaranteed to the Availability objective of its SLA
Fairness among nodes is ensured

For internal use

Shortcomings of NOT CET transport

Lack of UNI concept and (mostly) SLA enforcement

mechanisms
Usually cannot guarantee CIR to any single user nor fairness among
users
Cannot implement real CAC calculations to ensure service
sustainability
Is extremely dangerous to overbook unless all traffic is EIR and
fairness is not a primary requirement
Lack of proper L2 OAM
Difficult or impossible to troubleshoot
Difficult or impossible to isolate faults or troublesome spots
No per-service FM/PM

QoS handling in FlexiPacket Microwave
QoS is implemented both on FlexiPacket Radio and FlexiPacket Hub.
FlexiPacket Hub supports five priority queues, each one associated to one of the following Class of Services (CoS) that
are
EF1 (Expedited Forwarding)
EF Control and EF2
AF Control and AF1 (Assured Forwarding)
AF2
AF3 and BE
At the ingress of an UNI/NNI port traffic is marked/processed using 3 bits (PCP) that define priority and color

Priority Queue
CoS FlexiPacket Color PCP bits value

EF1 4 Green 7

EF Control 3 Green 6

Connection Admission Control (CAC)

What is CAC?

CAC (empowered by Netviewer with path manager) enforces an end-to-end

guarantee QoS
A set of actions taken during the connection set-up phase, in order to
determine whether the system has enough spare resources for the new
connection.
Maintain the required by the new connection SLA without affecting the SLA
of already existed connections
End-to-end connection request can only be accepted if sufficient resources
are available at each one of the network elements on the way of the
connection.
The bandwidth will be managed at any potential congestion point.
CCM (OAM Connectivity Check Messages) packets will be prioritized in the
control queues and the bandwidth will be reserved when CAC is calculated
