Configuring Protocol Prioritization on an ATM Circuit
You can set priorities for the traffic sent across a HSSI and an ATM line interface
using protocol prioritization.
You must configure protocol prioritization on both a HSSI line interface and an
ATM circuit (interface). For ATM, you can use protocol prioritization for IP traffic
travelling over an ATM PVC.
The steps required to configure protocol prioritization for ATM differ from the
steps for all other circuit types. For instructions on configuring protocol
prioritization on an ATM circuit, see “Configuring Protocol Priority on ATM
Interfaces” on page 9-5.
For more information about protocol prioritization and how to configure an
outbound traffic filter with a priority queue action, see Chapter 7.
Tuning Protocol Prioritization
When you enable Protocol Priority on a circuit, the router uses default values that
help determine how priority filters work. These defaults are designed to work well
for most configurations. However, you can customize (or tune) protocol
prioritization to maximize its impact on your network.
This section covers the following topics:
• Tuning Concepts
• Editing Protocol Prioritization Parameters
• Monitoring Protocol Prioritization Statistics
Tuning Concepts
How you tune protocol prioritization depends on whether you are using the
bandwidth allocation algorithm or strict dequeuing algorithm. (See “The
Dequeuing Process” on page 2-3.)
Note:
You cannot change the percent of bandwidth for the priority queues
when configuring protocol prioritization over ATM at the interface level.
