Hello wireless professionals,
I'm creating a Cat 9800 WLC design and now the topic is QoS.
What really bugs me is the lack of documentation regarding the wired QoS on the WLC regarding queuing/scheduling. So on routers and switches, you may assign a egress policy-map on phyiscal interfaces.
Example:
interface TenGigabitEthernet0/1/0
service-policy output MY-SCHEDULING-POLICY
The problem is, how to design this policy regarding:
- Number of supported queues on the corresponding platform
- Supported Features (e.g. how many priority queues)
- Queue limit configuration
The IOS-XE 17 config guide for ASR routers is pretty much complete and contains a lot of explainations:
https://content.cisco.com/chapter.sjs?uri=/searchable/chapter/content/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/qos_mqc/configuration/xe-17/qos-mqc-xe-17-book/qos-limits-wred.html.xml
Especially the "Queue Limit" table per platform is important from my point of view.
So I question myself why there is no documenation for the Cat 9800 for this:
- Nobody cares about QoS...
=> Assumption is, that we never encounter a congestion situation on the wired interface
- Work in progress...
- There is a documentation, but I have not found it
- "Do not touch anything.... best practice is not to care about this issue, because we solve this somehow"
I'm a little bit lost here, because - from my point of view, a proper queuing policy - matching the QoS requirements of a business, is an important thing. But I have the feeling, that I'm the only one and creating a problem which is not there.... because obviously no one cares about this topic except me
Enough whining - The actual question is: Has anyone deployed a wired QoS policy on the C9800?
