Assign different amounts of bandwidth to traffic classes (Ethernet, FCoE, or iSCSI) that require different bandwidth, latency, and best-effort treatment during network congestion. ETS divides traffic into different priority groups using their 802.1p priority value. To ensure that each traffic class is correctly prioritized and receives required bandwidth, configure bandwidth and queue scheduling for each priority group. You can allocate more bandwidth to a priority group to prioritize low-latency storage and server-cluster traffic. Allocate less bandwidth to a different priority group to rate-limit best-effort LAN traffic. ETS configuration notes • ETS is supported on L2 802.1p priority (dot1p 0 to 7) and L3 DSCP (0 to 63) traffic. FCoE traffic uses dot1p priority 3 - iSCSI storage traffic uses dot1p priority 4. • Apply these maps and policies on interfaces: - Trust maps - OS10 interfaces do not honor the L2 and L3 priority fields in ingress traffic by default. Create a trust map to honor dot1p and DSCP classes of lossless traffic. A trust map does not change ingress dot1p and DSCP values in egress flows. In a trust map, assign a qos-group (traffic class) to trusted dot1p/DSCP values. A qos-group number is used only internally to schedule classes of ingress traffic. - QoS map - Create a QoS map to assign trusted dot1p and DSCP traffic classes to lossless queues. - Ingress trust policy - Configure a service policy to trust dot1p values in ingress traffic. - Egress queuing policy - Configure ETS for egress traffic by assigning bandwidth to matching lossless queues in queuing class and policy maps. • Apply both PFC network-qos (input) and ETS queuing (output) policies on an interface to ensure lossless transmission. • An ETS-enabled interface operates with dynamic weighted round robin (DWRR) or strict priority scheduling. • OS10 control traffic is sent to control queues, which have a strict priority that is higher than data traffic queues. ETS-allocated bandwidth is not supported on a strict priority queue. A strict priority queue receives bandwidth only from DCBX TLVs. 508 Converged data center services

Enhanced transmission selection
Enhanced transmission selection (ETS) provides customized bandwidth allocation to 802.1p classes of
traffic.
Assign
different
amounts of
bandwidth to
traffic
classes (Ethernet, FCoE, or iSCSI) that require
different
bandwidth, latency, and
best-effort
treatment during network
congestion.
ETS divides
traffic
into
different
priority groups using their 802.1p priority value. To ensure that each
traffic
class is correctly prioritized and
receives required bandwidth,
configure
bandwidth and queue scheduling for each priority group. You can allocate more bandwidth to a
priority group to prioritize low-latency storage and server-cluster
traffic.
Allocate less bandwidth to a
different
priority group to rate-limit
best-effort
LAN
traffic.
ETS
configuration
notes
ETS is supported on L2 802.1p priority (dot1p 0 to 7) and L3 DSCP (0 to 63)
traffic.
FCoE
traffic
uses dot1p priority 3 — iSCSI storage
traffic
uses dot1p priority 4.
Apply these maps and policies on interfaces:
Trust maps — OS10 interfaces do not honor the L2 and L3 priority
fields
in ingress
traffic
by default. Create a trust map to honor
dot1p and DSCP classes of lossless
traffic.
A trust map does not change ingress dot1p and DSCP values in egress
flows.
In a trust
map, assign a
qos-group
(traffic
class) to trusted dot1p/DSCP values. A qos-group number is used only internally to schedule
classes of ingress
traffic.
QoS map — Create a QoS map to assign trusted dot1p and DSCP
traffic
classes to lossless queues.
Ingress trust policy —
Configure
a service policy to trust dot1p values in ingress
traffic.
Egress queuing policy —
Configure
ETS for egress
traffic
by assigning bandwidth to matching lossless queues in
queuing
class
and policy maps.
Apply both PFC network-qos (input) and ETS queuing (output) policies on an interface to ensure lossless transmission.
An ETS-enabled interface operates with dynamic weighted round robin (DWRR) or strict priority scheduling.
OS10 control
traffic
is sent to control queues, which have a strict priority that is higher than data
traffic
queues. ETS-allocated
bandwidth is not supported on a strict priority queue. A strict priority queue receives bandwidth only from DCBX TLVs.
