[j-nsp] WAN input prioritization on MX

If you want to trust the code-points on ingress traffic, then just use a behavior aggregate and place the trusted traffic into the correct forwarding-class; no need to re-classify it. Technically you don't even need the BA to classify trusted packets, but makes the process more understandable and deterministic.

In the scenario with a single CE with two WAN interfaces with different code-point schemes, the Junos class-of-service is superior. You simply classify the ingress LAN traffic once then on egress - depending on which WAN interface is chosen - the rewrite-rules can write the proper code-points.

There's enough optimization in Junos that if an ingress packet has a code-point of 100 and the egress rewrite-rule is also 100, it's considered a NOOP function. Don't worry, the MX is able to perform line-rate class of service.

Hi Caillin,

I can see your points. You think that it is logical to mark traffic as it comes to the router, and leave it untouched, as it leaves your router. This is what I used to think of QoS (as I come from the Cisco world). However, I need to rethink when getting to know Juniper.

With Juniper way, you can still leave the trusted traffic untouched by "remarking" to the same EXP, or DSCP scheme, as traffic leave your router. I mean, we are not stuffed.

I do however see a good point in the Juniper way, which marks traffic as it LEAVES the router!

If you have a managed CE with one LAN connection (connected to customer LAN), and two WAN connections going to two carriers with 2 different CoS schemes. You do need to mark traffic differently to match the ISP ones, depending on which interface it take to exit your router (i.e. depending on routing).

If you do mark the traffic as it comes to your router, you are stuffed.

Surely, you can say that, you can still remark your "trusted" traffic as it leaves your router, but it is double marking (you have to do it twice), isn't it?

Cheers,

Huan

More to the point I believe the original commenter was talking about
packet marking, not queuing or classification :)

And here I believe that junos doesn't work well...  If you have a link
that carries both transit and newly injected traffic you are stuffed
when you try to perform a rewrite to correctly mark ingress node traffic
but also try to transparently pass through traffic from a trusted source
using the same FC.

Yes, that's just what I said in so few words :-)

Classification = ingress
Queuing = egress

Humm. My understand, at least with the command sets I'm use to using, is
that you do classification on ingress and then queuing and marking on
egress. When you do classification, the packets are assigned to a
"Forwarding Class (FC)" inside the box. This makes sure the box gives
those packets proper treatment inside the box and that the packets get
assigned to the proper egress interface queue. While the packets exit
the queue (based on egress schedulers), the packet QoS headers are
remarked.

Basically, this diagram:

Packets travel through the box based on the outer boxes following the
solid lines. The dotted lines all point to or from the FC to identify
how the decision is made.

How is this weird? You can mark on ingress, but the queuing happens on
the egress interface when it's to be transmitted.
