Figure 8-3 shows this prioritization scheme as follows:
• Voice is placed into a queue with priority queuing capabilities and is allocated
a bandwidth of 48 kbps. The entrance criterion to this queue should be the
differentiated services code point (DSCP) value of EF, or IP precedence value
of 5. Traffic in excess of 48 kbps would be dropped if the interface becomes
congested. Therefore, an admission control mechanism must be used to
ensure that this value is not exceeded.
• Video conferencing traffic is placed into a queue with priority queuing
capabilities and is allocated a bandwidth of 384 kbps. The entrance criterion
to this queue should be a DSCP value of AF41, or IP precedence value of 4.
Traffic in excess of 384 kbps would be dropped if the interface becomes
congested. It is therefore imperative, as in the case of voice, to use an
admission control mechanism to ensure that this value is not exceeded.
Note One-way video traffic, such as IP/TV, should use a
class-based weighted fair queuing scheme because the
delay tolerances are much higher.
• As the WAN links become congested, it is possible to completely starve the
voice control signaling protocols, thereby eliminating the ability of the IP
phones to complete calls across the IP WAN. Voice control protocol traffic,
such as H.323 and the Skinny Client Control Protocol, requires its own
class-based weighted fair queue with a minimum configurable bandwidth
equal to a DSCP value of AF31, which correlates to an IP precedence value
of 3.
• SNA traffic is placed into a queue that has a specified bandwidth of 56 kbps.
Queueing operation within this class is first-in-first-out (FIFO) with a
minimum allocated bandwidth of 56 kbps. Traffic in this class that exceeds
56 kbps is placed in the default queue. The entrance criterion to this queue
could be TCP port numbers, Layer 3 address, IP precedence, or a DSCP.
• All remaining traffic can be placed in a default queue. If a bandwidth is
specified, the queuing operation would be FIFO. Alternatively, by specifying
the keyword fair, the operation would be weighted fair queuing (WFQ).
