[j-nsp] Class of Service Question

IIRC J boxes have inherent per-unit scheduling/shaping support. The VC group thing is a shaper, but intended for use at hub site with remote low-speak frame access links. I have notes indicating that the vc group construct can be applied to ge, but again I feel you can just do per ifl scheduling with up to 8 queues, and IIRC, you can further shape a queue using a combo of transmit-rate and shaping-rate.

Then again, maybe this all changed when they went to srx/flow based.

What version?

>From an old spec:


CLI (configuration mode) changes
--------------------------------
  Following hierarchy would be used to configure shaping rate:
    /*
     * class-of-service {
     *     schedulers {
     *         <scheduler-name> {
     *             transmit-rate [<rate>|percent <percent>] [exact];
     *             shaping-rate  [<rate>|percent <percent>]
     *             ...
     *         }
     *         ...
     *     }
     * }
     */

regress at aspirin# set class-of-service schedulers <scheduler-name> 
                 shaping-rate ?
Possible completions:
  <[Enter]>            Execute this command
  <rate>               Shaping rate as rate (3200..32000000000 bits per second)
  percent              Transmit rate as percentage (0..100)
  |                    Pipe through a command
[edit]
 

For backward compatibility, we still allow setting exact option in transmit-rate
configuration for PEPSI. However, we disallow setting both the exact option in 
tx-rate and shaping-rate knob together at the same time.

Hi Harry,
Thanks for the suggestion.  The problem is that I am using a J-Series to do this and I was told that the only way to do per-unit-scheduling was to use virtual-channel-groups.  Even with the config below, my confusion comes from the fact that in a scheduler config, you specify either a percent or rate for the scheduler.  That percentage is based off the physical interface bandwidth, not the logical unit - is this not correct?

Here's a sample config of what I have for our existing CoS configs, which work great on channelized interfaces:

    be-scheduler {
        transmit-rate percent 50;
        buffer-size percent 50;
        priority low;
        drop-profile-map loss-priority low protocol non-tcp drop-profile non-tcp-low-red;
        drop-profile-map loss-priority high protocol tcp drop-profile tcp-high-red;
        drop-profile-map loss-priority low protocol tcp drop-profile tcp-low-red;
        drop-profile-map loss-priority high protocol non-tcp drop-profile non-tcp-high-red;
    }
    nc-scheduler {
        transmit-rate percent 5;
        buffer-size percent 5;
        priority high;
    }
    af-scheduler {
        transmit-rate percent 10;
        buffer-size percent 5;
        priority high;
    }
    ef-scheduler {
        transmit-rate percent 35;
        buffer-size percent 5;
        priority strict-high;
    }

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how this will work in my new setup because on a channelized interface, each T1 in the DS3 reports its bandwidth as 1.5M.  On a GE interface, each VLAN reports its bandwidth as 1000M, no?
