Each node row contains a set of minimum node characteristics, a set of maximum node
characteristics, and a weight. To compute the weights for a node using this COS, the node’s
characteristics are checked against the characteristics defined in each node row. The node is
then assigned the weight of the first node row which bounds all the node’s characteristics
within the limits specified. If the node’s characteristics do not satisfy any of the listed node
rows, the node is considered unsuitable for this COS, and is assigned an infinite weight. Note
that the node rows must be specified in ascending order of weight, and the minimum value
should be less than or equal to the maximum value.
The next panel is the second APPN COS panel.
COS Name
This field uniquely identifies the Class of Service. For the five predefined COSs, this field is
protected. This is the only field which cannot be modified for a predefined COS.
The names you give to the eleven user-defined COSs can be up to eight alphanumeric characters.
The first character must be alphabetic, with no blanks or spaces between characters. CPSVCMG
and SNASVCMG are reserved.
Transmission Priority
This represents the priority of traffic passing through this node. It toggles to Network, High,
Medium (default), Low.
Node Weight
This indicates how desirable the node is in session route calculations. Up to eight sets of
weighted values may be assigned. The lower values are the most desirable, and should be
specified first.
The range is 0 (default) to 255.
