Bridge CoS update - 13

Added changes in ethernet module for initializing #port #level #priority #code #point ( #PCP ) #encoding configuration entries and #decoding configuration entries on provider bridges. These changes will initialize the configuration entries with default #CoS and #DEI values as per the translation tables defined in #802-1Q-2011. By default the ingress frame CoS is used unaltered.

Bridge CoS update - 12

Created default tables in ethernet module for #port #level #priority #code #point ( #PCP ) #encoding / #decoding configuration on #provider #bridges ( #PB ). These tables will help to fill PCP encoding / decoding configuration with their initial values. The default table will ensure that ingress CoS is used unaltered and egress CoS is also conveyed unaltered.

Bridge CoS update - 7

Added optimizations for #port #level #priority #code #point ( #PCP ) #decoding configuration on provider bridges. This will reduce the memory requirement for supporting PCP decoding configuration. The configuration will decide the effective #CoS and #drop #eligibility ( #DEI ) of the incoming frame based on ingress CoS. Based on the priority code point row selected in the PCP table on the port, the CoS and DEI decoded on the frames will change. By default, for a frame the ingress CoS is used unaltered.

Bridge CoS update - 5

Added optimizations for #port #level #priority #code #point ( #PCP ) #encoding configuration on provider bridges. This will reduce the memory requirement for supporting PCP encoding configuration. The configuration will decide the CoS encoded on the outgoing frames, based on the #customer #CoS and #drop #eligibility ( #DEI ) of the frame. Based on the priority code point row selected in the PCP table on the port, the CoS encoded on the frames will change. By default, for a frame the egress CoS is used unaltered.

Bridge CoS update - 4

Added optimizations for #port #level #service #access #priority #remapping configuration on provider bridges. This will reduce the memory requirement for supporting service access priority remapping configuration. The service access priority remapping will enable to map #customer #CoS on frames to a different CoS value at the provider network border - either on a customer edge port ( #CEP ) or a customer network port ( #CNP ) -, while receiving data from the customer network. This is useful to request priority handling of customer frames in the provider network. The remapped CoS will be used int the provider network for effective #QoS treatment on the frame. By default, for a frame the ingress CoS is used unaltered.

Bridge CoS update - 3

Added optimizations for #port #level #access #priority #remapping configuration on customer bridges. This will reduce the memory requirement for supporting access priority remapping configuration. The access priority remapping will enable to map #customer #CoS on frames to a different CoS value at the customer domain border, while sending data to the provider network. This is useful when the #SLA with the #provider #network requires specific kind of CoS mapping for required QoS treatment. The remapped CoS will be used int the provider network for effective #QoS treatment on the frame. By default, for a frame the egress CoS is send unaltered.

Bridge CoS update - 2

Added optimizations for  #port #level #effective ( #remapped ) #CoS to #traffic-class #mapping in ethernet module. The optimization reduces memory used for maintaining this configuration in ethernet module. The traffic-class decides the #QoS treatment for ethernet frames. The remapped CoS which was deduced from the ingress CoS is used for deciding the traffic-class to be applied. By default - without any configuration present, all CoS values are mapped to same default traffic-class 0.

Bridge CoS update

Added corrections for #general #bridge #port #CoS #configuration in ethernet module. The general configuration controls the default CoS applied on frames, number of traffic classes supported, PCP row to be used for remarking of frames, etc ...

Added optimizations for #port #level #CoS #remapping configuration. This will reduce the memory requirement for supporting CoS remapping configuration. The CoS remapping will enable to map CoS on frames to a different CoS value. The remapped CoS will be used for effective #QoS treatment on the frame. By default, for a frame the ingress CoS is considered as the #effective #CoS for QoS handling.
