QoS Defined

The goal :

• Provide some level of predictability andcontrol beyond the current IP “best-

effort” service



QoS Metrics

Performance attributes

• Service availability

• Delay

• Delay variation (jitter)

• Throughput

• Packet loss rate

Vary according to Service Level Agreement(SLA)



QoS Protocols

ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP)

Multi Protocol Labeling Switching(MPLS)

Subnet Bandwidth Management(SBM)



RESOURCE RESERVATION

PROTOCOL (RSVP)

a network-control protocol that enables Internet

applications to obtain differing qualities of service

(QoS) for their data flows.

different applications have different network performance requirements.

Applications like,

• e-mail - require reliable delivery but not timeliness of

delivery

• videoconferencing, IP telephony - Data delivery must be

timely but not necessarily reliable



RSVP Cont.,

RSVP is not a routing protocol

works in conjunction with routing protocols

implementing RSVP in an existing network does not

require migration to a new routing protocol

Researchers at USC (ISI) and Xerox’s PARC

conceived RSVP.

IETF specified an Open version in RFC 2205

RSVP Data Flows

Best-effort traffic

• applications require reliable delivery of data regardless of

the amount of time needed to achieve that delivery.

• Eg. File transfer, transaction traffic Rate-sensitive traffic

• a guaranteed transmission rate from its source to its

destination.

• Eg. H.323 videoconferencing (Constant Rate)

Delay-sensitive traffic

• timeliness of delivery and that varies its rate accordingly

• Eg. MPEG-II video (averages about 3 to 7 Mbps)



Data Flows Process

designed to manage flows of data rather than

make decisions

Data flows consist of discrete sessions

between specific source and destination

Sessions are identified by the following data:

destination address, protocol ID, and

destination port.

RSVP supports both unicast and multicast

simplex sessions.



Quality of Service

an attribute determine the way in which data

interchanges are handled by participating

entities (routers, receivers, and senders)

used to specify the QoS by,

• Hosts (to request a QoS level from the network)

• Routers (deliver QoS requests to other routers along the

path(s)) maintains the router and host state to provide the

requested service.



Session Startup

To initiate an RSVP multicast session, a receiver first joins the multicast group using IGMP.

In unicast session, unicast routing serves function of

IGMP. Sender sends RSVP path message to IP destination

address.

The receiver application receives a path message and

send reservation-request messages with desired flowdescriptors using RSVP.

After the sender application receives a reservation-request message, the sender starts sending data

packets.



Reservation Style

a set of control options that specify a number

of supported parameters

supports two major classes of reservation:

• distinct reservations

install a flow for each relevant sender in each session

• shared reservations

used by a set of senders that are known not to interfere

with each other



Reservation Style

distinct and shared RSVP reservation-style types in

the context of their scope,

RSVP Supports Both Distinct Reservations and Shared Reservations



Reservation Style

Wildcard-Filter Style

• a single reservation is created into which flows from all

upstream senders are mixed.

• size is the largest of the resource requests for that link fromall receivers

Fixed-Filter Style

• a distinct reservation request is created for data packets

from a particular sender• scope is determined by an explicit list of senders

• The total reservation on a link for a given session is the

total of the FF reservations for all requested senders



Reservation Style

Shared-Explicit Style

• a shared reservation environment with an explicit

reservation scope

• the set of senders is specified explicitly by the

receiver making the reservation



Soft State Implementation

The RSVP soft state is created and must be

periodically refreshed by path and reservation-request

messages.

If no matching refresh messages arrive before theexpiration timeout, the state is deleted.

also can be deleted by an explicit teardown message

When a route changes, the next path messageinitializes the path state on the new route.

When state changes occur, RSVP propagates those

changes from end to end within an RSVP network

without delay



RSVP Architecture



RSVP Protocol Operation

Protocol then is used to pass the request to all thenodes (routers and hosts) along the reverse datapath(s) to the data source(s).

At each node, the RSVP program applies a localdecision procedure called admission control andpolicy control.

If control succeeds, sets the parameters to obtain the

desired QoS If admission control fails at any node, the program

returns an error indication to the application thatoriginated the request.



RSVP Tunneling

Tunneling requires RSVP and non-RSVP routers to forward

path messages toward the destination using local routing table

a path message traverses a non-RSVP router, the path message

copies carry the IP address of the last RSVP-capable router.

Reservation-request messages are forwarded to the next

upstream RSVP-capable router.



RSVP Messages

Supports four basic message types,

Reservation-Request Messages

• sent by each receiver host toward the senders.

• must be delivered to the sender hosts to set up appropriatetraffic-control parameters.

Path Messages

• sent by each sender along the unicast or multicast routes

• A path message is used to store the path state in each node.

• The path state is used to route reservation-request messages

in the reverse direction.



RSVP Messages

Teardown Messages

• remove the path and reservation state without waiting for

the cleanup timeout

Path-teardown messages

Reservation-request teardown messages

Error and Confirmation Messages

• Path-error messages

• Reservation-request error messages Admission Failure

Bandwidth unavailable

Service not supported

• Reservation-request acknowledgment messages



RSVP Packet Format

RSVP message header fields are comprised of the following:

• Version — A 4-bit field indicating the protocol version number (currentlyversion 1).

• Flags — A 4-bit field with no flags currently defined.

• Checksum — A 16-bit field representing a standard TCP/UDP checksumover the contents of the RSVP message

• Length — A 16-bit field representing the length of this RSVP packet inbytes.

• Send TTL — An 8-bit field indicating the IP time-to-live (TTL) value

with which the message was sent.



Conclusion

RSVP is a transport layer protocol that enables anetwork to provide differentiated levels of service tospecific flows of data.

different application types have different performancerequirements.

RSVP acknowledges these differences and providesthe mechanisms necessary to detect the levels of

performance required by different applications.



Thank You



Multi-Protocol Label Switching

MPLS is a packet forwarding technology whichuses labels to make data forwarding decisions.

With MPLS, the Layer 3 header analysis is done just once (when the packet enters the MPLS

domain). Label inspection drives subsequentpacket forwarding.

MPLS provides these beneficial applications:• Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

• Traffic Engineering (TE)

• Quality of Service (QoS)

• Any Transport over MPLS (AToM)

Additionally, it decreases the forwardingoverhead on the core routers. MPLS technologies

are applicable to any network layer protocol.



Subnet Bandwidth Management

Applies to the Data Link Layer (OSI layer 2)

Makes LAN topologies (e.g. Ethernet) QoS-enabled• Fundamental requirement

• All traffic must pass through at least one SBM-enabled

switch SBM Modules

• Bandwidth Allocator (BA)

• Hosted on switches

Performs admission control• Requestor Module (RM)

• Resides in every end-station

• Maps Layer 2 priority levels and the higher-layer QoSprotocol parameters
