2.3.7- Ef-prio

 

Next example is implemented by DS on Linux Distribution with the name Ef-prio. This is a very simple implementation of the Expedited Forwarding (EF) class using a priority queuing discipline. Implementing this example in Linux is very easy. Let's see how it works on Cisco.
The idea is having two classes: EF and BEEF packets will be assigned to a priority queue with a bandwidth availability of 1500 Kbps; rest of packets are considered BE traffic and will be assigned to a RED queing discipline using min-threshold of 15 Kb, max-threshold of 45 Kb and a drop probability of 0.4 (1/2.5); because Cisco requires integer values we will use just 3 as the mark-probability-denominator.
 
Using Cisco CLI the implementation is very easy too; just type in your router:
 
 

Because BE class will include any traffic not marked as DSCP EF (46), then we have to use the random-detect precedence command to implement RED for all packets using the same configuration.

Well, dear lectors, next example is efhtb.
