1. Plan your IPQoS-enabled network configuration. |
Decide which systems on the local network
should become IPQoS enabled. |
How to Prepare a Network for IPQoS |
2. Plan the QoS policy for IPQoS systems on
your network. |
Identify traffic flows as distinct classes of service. Then, determine which flows
require traffic management. |
Planning the Quality-of-Service Policy |
3. Create the IPQoS configuration file and define its first
action. |
Create the IPQoS file, invoke the IP classifier, and define a class
for processing. |
How to Create the IPQoS Configuration File and Define Traffic Classes |
4. Create filters for a class. |
Add the filters that govern which
traffic is selected and organized into a class. |
How to Define Filters in the IPQoS Configuration File |
5. Add more classes and
filters to the IPQoS configuration file. |
Create more classes and filters to be
processed by the IP classifier. |

6. Add an action statement with parameters that
configure the metering modules. |
If the QoS policy calls for flow control, assign flow-control
rates and conformance levels to the meter. |
How to Configure Flow Control in the IPQoS Configuration File |
7. Add an action statement with parameters
that configure the marker. |
If the QoS policy calls for differentiated forwarding behaviors, define
how traffic classes are to be forwarded. |

8. Add an action statement with parameters
that configure the flow-accounting module. |
If the QoS policy calls for statistics gathering on
traffic flows, define how accounting statistics are to be gathered. |

9. Apply the
IPQoS configuration file. |
Add the content of a specified IPQoS configuration file into
the appropriate kernel modules. |
How to Apply a New Configuration to the IPQoS Kernel Modules |
10. Configure forwarding behaviors in the router files. |
If any
IPQoS configuration files on the network define forwarding behaviors, add the resulting DSCPs
to the appropriate scheduling files on the router. |
