QoS Hierárquico

I copied this from an email I sent to my coworkers, so I kept it in pt-br.

policy-map OUT // policy “filho”
class APP_CRITICO1
    bandwidth percent 25
  set ip dscp af32
class APP_CRITICO2
    bandwidth percent 25
  set ip dscp af33
class EXPRESS
    bandwidth percent 20
  set ip dscp af21
class class-default
    fair-queue
  set ip dscp default

policy-map SHAPE_OUT // policy “pai”
class class-default
    shape average 2048000
  service-policy OUT

Basicamente o que essa policy permite é que seja feito traffic-shaping, e que esse traffic-shaping seja dividido em 25% pra APP_CRITICO1, 25% pra APP_CRITICO2, 20% pra EXPRESS e o restante se sobrar espaço no shaping.

Como é o tipo de documento que fica escondido na documentação da Cisco, achei que iam gostar de ler. Se souberem de algum outro mandem!

And the winner for simplest explanation on shaping goes to:

Probably the simplest, quickest and most yummy explanation on QoS shaping I've read. Gotta spread it around!

  Your Tc will be determined by your value of the Bc.

  The CIR is the total data to pass in one second. The Bc is the data that will pass in one slice of time for x number of times per second.

  Let's say you have a pizza that is 16 inches in circunference. If the Bc is 2 inches then it will take 8 pieces of pizza to make a whole. If the Bc is 8 inches, then it will only take 2 pieces to make a whole. 

  Put another way, it takes an hour to eat a pizza. You won't eat the whole thing at one gulp, so you break it into pieces (bursts). So the pieces are 2 inches in size then you can eat eight pieces each 7.5 minutes apart or you can eat two 8 inch pieces 30  minutes apart.

Instant winner!

How to fail a job application.

Easy steps to fail a job application (with me):

  • Apply for a job without proper certifications;
  • Apply for a job without knowing English, but failing to admit it - example, using google translate;
  • Apply for a job without knowing Portuguese (yes, it happens - obviously people from other countries);
  • Apply for a job faking your job experience- ie, don't say you work in a team you do not work, I may have friends that have friends, and they will talk to me about you;
Now tell, me, oh nobles Networking Zen Artists, isn't it easy? You wouldn't believe how easily people fall into one of these categories.
