Hierarchical QoS (HQoS) for 8x10G modules

HQoS for PBB traffic
PBB ports can use either BVLAN-based queuing (BVLAN HQoS model, as shown in Figure 11 on
page 177) or I-SID-based queuing as shown in Figure 12 , where the egress port is an 802.1ah
(PBB) port and where packets are queued per I-SID.
A BVLAN may carry a large number of services identified by distinct I-SID values. The BVLAN HQoS
model (using HQoS for Local VPLS as shown in
Figure 11 ) differs from the I-SID HQoS model in that
BVLANs represent PBB tunnels that carry traffic from many different services, while the I-SID HQoS
model represent individual services. The B-VLAN HQoS model would is for Backbone Core Bridges,
while the I-SID HQoS model is for Backbone Edge Bridges.
