Introduction This document defines a set of policy rule classes for describing quality of service (QoS) policies. This document structures QoS policy information as instances of policy rule classes. A policy rule class (PRC) is an ordered set of scalar attributes. Policy rule classes are arranged in a hierarchical structure similar to tables in SNMP's SMIv2 [SNMP-SMI]. As with SNMP tables, they are identified by a sequence of integer identifiers (an Object Identifier). For each policy rule class a device may have zero or more policy rule instances. Each policy rule instance is also identified by a sequence of integers where the first part of the sequence is the ID of the PRC. Collections of policy rule classes are defined in PIB modules. These modules are written using a structure designed for policy information which is described in [COPS-PR]. 3. General PIB Concepts 3.1. Roles The policy to apply to an interface may depend on many factors such as immutable characteristics of the interface (e.g., ethernet or frame [Page 2] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 relay), the status of the interface (e.g., half or full duplex), or user configuration (e.g., branch office or headquarters interface). Rather than specifying policies explicitly for each interface in the QoS domain, policies are specified in terms of interface functionality. To describe these functionalities of an interface we use the concept of "roles". A role is simply a string that is associated with an interface. A given interface may have any number of roles simultaneously. Policy rule classes have an attribute called a "role- combination" which is an unordered set of roles. Instances of a given policy rule class are applied to an interface if and only if the set of roles in the role combination is identical to the set of the roles of the interface. Thus, roles provide a way to bind policy to interfaces without having to explicitly identify interfaces in a consistent manner across all network devices. (The SNMP experience with ifIndex has proved this to be a difficult task.) That is, roles provide a level of indirection to the application of a set of policies to specific interfaces. Furthermore, if the same policy is being applied to several interfaces, that policy need be pushed to the device only once, rather than once per interface, as long as the interfaces are configured with the same role combination. We point out that, in the event that the administrator needs to have unique policy for each interface, this can be achieved by configuring each interface with a unique role. The PEP reports all its role combinations to the PDP at connect time or whenever they change. The comparing of roles (or role combinations) must be case insensitive. For display purposes, roles (or role combinations) should preserve the case specified by the user. The concept and usage of roles in this document is consistent with that specified in [POLICY]. Roles are currently under discussion in the IETF's Policy WG; as and when that discussion reaches a conclusion, this PIB will be updated in accordance with that conclusion. 3.2. Reporting of Device Capabilities Each network device providing policy-based services has its own inherent capabilities. These capabilities can be hardware specific, e.g., an ethernet interface supporting input classification, or can be statically configured, e.g., supported queuing disciplines. These capabilities are [Page 3] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 communicated to the PDP when initial policy is requested by the PEP. Knowing device capabilities, the PDP can send the policy rule instances (PRIs) relevant to the specific device, rather than sending the entire PIB. 4. DiffServ PIB Concepts 4.1. Filters, Filter Groups and Classifiers The basis of differential QoS treatment of packets is a filter. This is simply a general specification for matching a pattern to appear in packets belonging to flows, e.g. microflows or bandwidth aggregates. Associated with each filter is a permit/deny flag which effectively gives a negation operation. Sets of these filters are used to create classifiers. Classifiers are applied to interfaces with a direction flag to indicate an ingress or egress classifier. Filters are combined, in order, into filter groups; filter groups are then combined, in order, to build a classifier. This allows a rudimentary classification grammar to be defined. On input, each packet is checked against the ingress classifier on the interface. Similarly, on output each packet is checked against the egress classifier on the interface. The result of the classifier then feeds into appropriate meters and actions to be applied to packets. For each classifier, the packet is checked against the set of filter groups in the appropriate order. The detailed operation of the PIB syntax is as follows. If a packet matches a filter in the first filter group of a classifier and the sense is "permit" then the subsequent meters and actions associated with that classifier are applied to that packet and no further filters are compared. If the sense is "deny" then the rest of the filters in the current filter group are skipped and operation proceeds with the first filter of the next filter group. If the packet does not match any of the filters in the filter group then the next filter group is tried. This process is continued until a definitive match is obtained. Each classifier must cover all possible matches i.e., it must be complete. 4.2. Applying QoS Policy Using Targets The task of applying QoS policy within a network requires the specification of several components. The flows to which QoS policy should be applied must be identified. The interfaces of the device on which the policy should be enforced must be known. A certain set of [Page 4] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 parameters to support flow metering is also required. The combination of these components provides the target against which QoS policy is to be applied. Within the context of the QoS PIB, the association between these components is defined efficiently using the Target class. The Target class serves to logically link several other QoS policy classes. Flow classification rules, specifying behavior aggregate (BA) or multi-field (MF) classification parameters, are indirectly identified using the PRC for the appropriate classification class (e.g., IP, 802) coupled with an identifier for a specific classifier. Interface information is specified using the role combination tag, defined in the Interface Type class, to identify the group of interfaces on which classification is to be performed. The direction of packet flow on the identified interfaces is provided as well. A link to the metering component is provided using the PRC for the appropriate metering class instance. Once a target has been defined, actions based on the classification and metering phases must be specified. Action class instances are linked with the Target entry through the associated Meter class instance. A precedence component is also provided so that a definitive order of evaluation may be defined for Target class instances being applied to the same interface role and flow direction targets. The Target class thus functions as the integration point for the range of components used for the application of QoS policy. 4.3. Queue Modeling with Queue Sets The traffic processing capabilities of an interface are determined by the queuing resources that are associated with the interface. These capabilities are represented abstractly using queue sets. A queue set is comprised of one or more individual queues and facilitates treating the collection of queues as a single unit based on their combined behaviors. A device may support a number of different queue sets. The number of queue sets supported by a device is typically related to the number of unique combinations of interface properties within that device. The queue set abstraction is not limited to modeling physical interface properties, however, and can be used to represent logical and dynamic queuing behavior as well. Each individual queue in a set is characterized by the interface bandwidth it can consume, the queuing discipline it employs and it's relationship with other queues in the set. Interface bandwidth allocation per queue can be represented in either relative or absolute terms. A queue's drain size (i.e., the maximum number of bytes that may [Page 5] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 be drained from the queue in one cycle) can be used to determine the relative bandwidth allocation. The sum of the drain sizes of all of the related queues in a set is used to compute the percentage of interface bandwidth allocated to a specific queue based on its drain size. The maximum interface bandwidth that is available may also be described in absolute terms. The traffic processing paradigm employed by a given queue is represented by queue discipline attributes. Several general purpose and well-known queuing disciplines (e.g., priority, fifo, weighted fair queuing) are supported and a mechanism to define additional paradigms in an extensible fashion is provided. The relationship among queues within a set is specified using a service order attribute. This attribute provides an additional level of service precedence among queues. This is required for describing the behavior of queues utilizing the same processing discipline (e.g., a series of priority queues) and when the various queues that comprise a queue set are serviced using a mix of queuing disciplines (e.g., priority and weighted round robin queues). These individual queue attributes, when combined, support the representation of (potentially) complex queuing systems associated with an interface type (i.e., role combination). 4.4. IP Mapping to and from Layer 2 The PIB specifies QoS policy by assigning DSCP values to specific queues, but in order to provide a complete QoS picture, the PIB must consider that not all devices on the network are diffserv capable, i.e., capable of setting/inspecting a packet's DSCP value. Specifically, the network might include layer 2 devices (switches) that can only support IEEE 802.1p classes of service. In order to support network configuration that consists of diffserv capable devices and devices that can only support IEEE 802.1p, the PIB has included a mapping table that can allow the DSCP values to be mapped to specific IEEE 802.1p tag values. DSCP ---------- DSCP -------- DSCP ---------- DSCP ----->|diffserv|--------->|L2 |--------->|diffserv|------> | router | 802.1p |switch| 802.1p | router | 802.1p ---------- priority -------- priority ---------- priority A second case exists where packets coming into the network are arriving from a non-diffserv enabled device and no DSCP exists with in the [Page 6] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 packet, but an 802.1p tag does exist. In the case where the diffserv device has the ability to set a DSCP in the packet, the diffserv router can map the layer 2 tag into a DSCP value. The PIB supports a mapping table that can be used to map from the layer 2 tag to a DSCP value. This mapping would be configured to apply to those ports where the upstream device marks packets using a L2 802.1p tag as shown in the figure below. ---------- ------------ DSCP -->| L2 |--------->| diffserv |-------> -->| switch | 802.1p | router | 802.1p ---------- priority ------------ priority Alternatively, the diffserv router can have policies applied to it that cause it to reclassify the incoming packet using a MF classifier, ignoring the incoming 802.1p tag. 5. Summary of the PIB Modules This section gives a brief summary of the top-level groups in the three modules defined in this document. Device Configuration Group This group contains device configuration information. This configuration is either set by management or reflects the physical configuration of the device. QoS Interface Group This group is used to indicate to the PDP the types of interface configured on the PEP. Note that this group indicates the types of interfaces, not the configuration of each and every interface on the device. QoS Metering Group This group contains configuration of meters. These meters can then be used to by target classes to specify metering policy. QoS Action Group This group contains the policies that define the action to be taken after the result of the classification and metering. This group also contains the policies that associate the classifiers, meters and actions. [Page 7] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 IP Classification and Policing Group This group contains the policies that define the IP classifier elements. 802 Classification and Policing Group This group contains the policies that define the IEEE 802 classifier elements. 6. PIB Operational Overview This section provides an operation overview of how the three modules are used in concert to provide policy to the PEP. After initial PEP to PDP communication setup, using [COPS-PR] for example, the PEP will provide to the PDP the PIB Policy Rule Classes (PRCs), interface types, and interface type capabilities it supports. The PRCs supported by the PEP are reported to the PDP in the PRC Support Table, qosPrcSupportTable. Each instance of the qosPrcSupportTable class indicates a PRC that the PEP understands and for which the PDP can send class instances as part of the policy information. The interface types the PEP supports are reported to the PDP in the Interface Type Table, qosInterfaceTypeTable. Each instance of this class describes the characteristics of an interface type. Each interface type is identified by a role combination. Each interface type's inherent capability is reported to the PDP using the Interface Type Table. Examples of interface capabilities are classification, policing, dropping, queuing, and shaping. An interface type is associated with a queue set which indicates the number of queues that interface supports and its queuing disciplines. The PDP, with knowledge of the PEP's capabilities, will provide the PEP with: (1) Administration domain policy information in qosIfDscpAssignmentTable qos802DscpMappingTable qos802CosToDscpTable (2) Interface type and role specific IP policy information in qosIpAceTable qosIpAclDefinitionTable qosActionTable [Page 8] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 qosTargetTable qosMeterTable (3) Interface type and role specific IEEE 802 policy information in qos802AceTable qos802AclDefinitionTable Instances of the qosTargetTable define how the Traffic Conditioning Elements are combined into Traffic Conditioning Blocks, as described in [MODEL]. Each instance of the qosTargetTable applies to an interface type defined by its roles and direction (ingress or egress). This is pictured in the following diagram where the InterfaceRoles X, and Y would be used by the network device to associate the traffic conditioning block with the interfaces needing each of thess policies. +----------------------------+ +----------------------------+ | qosIpAclDefinitionEntries | | qosTargetEntry | | with AclType = IP | | with AclType = IP | | AclId = 1 | <------------ AclId = 1 | | referencing its list of | | InterfaceRoles = X | | qosIpAceEntries | | Order = 5 | +----------------------------+ | Meter -----+ | +-------------------|--------+ | v +----------------+ | qosMeterEntry | +----------------+ | v +----------------+ | qosActionEntry | +----------------+ +----------------------------+ +----------------------------+ | qos802AclDefinitionEntries | | qosTargetEntry | | with AclType = 802 | | with AclType = 802 | | AclId = 10 | <------------ AclId = 10 | | referencing its list of | | InterfaceRoles = Y | | qos802AceEntries | | Order = 15 | +----------------------------+ | Meter -----+ | +-------------------|--------+ | v [Page 9] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 +----------------+ | qosMeterEntry | +----------------+ | v +----------------+ | qosActionEntry | +----------------+ Figure 7.1 Diffserv PIB Table Relationships Notice in the above diagram, IEEE 802 type classifiers are intermixed with the IP type classifiers, sharing the same pool of Traffic Conditioning Elements. The qosTargetTable allows use of heterogeneous classifiers with same instance of qosMeterTable. Using IP and IEEE 802 classifiers together is just one example. Other types of classifiers may be used heterogeneously. After receiving the PIB, the PEP will associate the Classifier, Meter and Action with the corresponding interfaces supporting the specific interface type and roles.

This object can be used to specify, for example, the order in which queues will be serviced when priority queuing is used. It also supports the ability to describe the servicing hierarchy when a hybrid queuing scheme, such as priority queuing coupled with weighted fair queuing, is used. Queue service priority is assigned such that a lower service order value indicates a higher priority. For example, a priority queue with a value of 1 will be serviced (i.e., drained) before another priority queue with a service order value of 2. Note that multiple queues that are logically associated, [Page 26] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 based on the queuing discipline that is being employed, will be assigned the same service order value. Under this scenario, other parameters that are related to the queuing discipline determine the order of queue servicing (e.g., queue drain size is used for 'wfq'). For example, an interface that is associated with a queue set supporting two priority queues and three queues that are serviced using WFQ would be modeled as follows: Q Index Q Discipline Q Drain Size Q Service Order 22 pq(1) - 1 23 pq(1) - 2 24 wfq(3) 500 3 25 wfq(3) 350 3 26 wfq(3) 150 3 The queue set presented in this example would service all queued traffic in queue 22 first, followed by all of the queued traffic in queue 23. Next the queued traffic in queues 24 through 26 would be serviced in a round robin fashion with queue 24 receiving 50% of the available bandwidth, queue 25 receiving 35% of the available bandwidth and queue 26 receiving 15% of the available bandwidth. This example is presented for expository purposes and has been simplified accordingly. Note that, in this example, queues 24, 25 and 26 form a queue cluster. Members of a queue cluster are all assigned the same qosIfQueueServiceOrder as there are tightly coupled.

[Page 56] QoS Policy Information Base June 1999 Setting the qos802AceEtherTypeMin object to -1 indicates that EtherType data should not be considered during traffic classification. Note that the position of the EtherType field depends on the underlying frame format. For Ethernet-II encapsulation, the EtherType field follows the 802 MAC source address. For 802.2 LLC/SNAP encapsulation, the EtherType value follows the Organization Code field in the 802.2 SNAP header. The value that is tested with regard to this filter component therefore depends on the data link layer frame format being used.

Multiple values may be set at one time such that potentially several different user priority values may match this 802 ACE component.

Security Considerations The information contained in a PIB when transported by the COPS protocol [COPS-PR] may be sensitive, and its function of provisioning a PEP requires that only authorized communication take place. The use of IPSEC between PDP and PEP, as described in [COPS], provides the necessary protection against these threats. 9.
