To configure a Hardware Aggregate Shaper Scheduler policy

Purpose

The Hardware Aggregate Shaper Scheduler policy improves reaction time and downstream bursts for aggregate-rate enforcement at subscriber level.

It improves on other deficiencies of traditional HQoS, such as potential for underrun during weight-based BW distribution between different queues.

Steps
 

Choose Policies→QoS→SROS QoS→Scheduler→Hardware Aggregate Shaper Scheduler from the NFM-P main menu. The Hardware Aggregate Shaper Scheduler form opens.


Click Create or choose an existing Hardware Aggregate Shaper Scheduler policy and click Properties. The Hardware Aggregate Shaper Scheduler Policy (Create) form opens.


Configure the required parameters on the General tab.


In the Group tab, click Create to enter the Displayed Name parameter.


Click OK to save changes.


Click the Scheduler Class tab to configure the scheduler class entries.

  1. Choose a scheduler class from the list and click Properties. The Scheduler Class, Hardware Aggregate Shaper Scheduler Policy (Create) form opens.

  2. Click Select to associate group name to the selected scheduler class.


Click OK to save the policy and close the form, or click Apply to save the policy.
