EOS: A simple Qos design example

This article - "A Simple Quality of Service Design Example" is a very good starting point for understanding the EOS Qos architecture and starting a Qos design. 

Some points:

  • 3 ways in the ingress points to map packets to Tx queues:
    • qos cos trust + cos-tc map
    • qos dscp trust + dscp-tc map
    • service-policy + policy-map
  • 3 big categories of traffic:
    • network-control = control plane
    • latency/jitter sensitive traffic
    • best-efforts = scavenger traffic
  • qos profile = 
    • policy-map for input
    • tx-queue set for output
  • "no priority" in a tx-queue, all lower queues become RR
