Enabling QPPB on an IP interface

To enable QoS classification of ingress IP packets on an interface based on the QoS information associated with the routes that best match the packets, configure the qos-route-lookup command in the IP interface. The qos-route-lookup command has parameters to indicate whether the QoS result is based on lookup of the source or destination IP address in every packet. There are separate qos-route-lookup commands for the IPv4 and IPv6 packets on an interface, which allows QPPB to be enabled for IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or both IPv4 and IPv6. Currently, QPPB based on a source IP address is not supported for IPv6 packets or for ingress subscriber management traffic on a group interface.

The qos-route-lookup command is supported on the following types of IP interfaces:

When the qos-route-lookup command with the destination parameter is applied to an IP interface and the destination address of an incoming IP packet matches a route with QoS information, the packet is classified to the fc and priority associated with that route. The command overrides the FC and priority/profile determined from the SAP ingress or network QoS policy associated with the IP interface (see section 5.7 for more information). If the destination address of the incoming packet matches a route with no QoS information, the fc and priority of the packet remain as determined by the sap-ingress or network qos policy.

Similarly, when the qos-route-lookup command with the source parameter is applied to an IP interface and the source address of an incoming IP packet matches a route with QoS information, the packet is classified to the FC and priority associated with that route. The command overrides the FC and priority/profile determined from the SAP ingress or network QoS policy associated with the IP interface. If the source address of the incoming packet matches a route with no QoS information, the FC and priority of the packet remain as determined by the SAP ingress or network QoS policy.

Currently, QPPB is not supported for ingress MPLS traffic on network interfaces or on CsC PE’-CE’ interfaces (config>service>vprn>nw-if).

Note:

QPPB based on a source IP address is not supported for ingress subscriber management traffic on a group interface.
