QoS Report

QoS Report

The QoS report is intended to provide an overview of the Quality of Service configuration and utilisation of the selected nodes.

Rules
To assist in the assimilation of the data, a few simple rules have been applied to the statistics to assist with highlighting some possible problem areas.

Queue Drop
This condition indicates that a QoS Policy is being exceeded and packets in this class have been dropped. It may or may not be impacting applications, depending on how they handle packet loss. For example, HTTP will generally handle packet loss with no problems, while voice and video do not suffer packet loss very well at all.
  If an interface utilisation is greater than 0% input and 0% output;
  AND DropPkt is greater than 1 packet per second;
  THEN this class is highlighted yellow.

Class Under Utilised
This condition indicates that the QoS class was configured to be used for traffic, and there are VERY low levels of traffic in that class. It might be possible to update the QoS policy allocating some of this bandwidth to other classes.
  If an interface utilisation is greater than 0% input and 0% output;
  AND the Policy Percent is greater than 0 percent;
  AND PrePolicyUtil is less than 1 percent;
  THEN this class is highlighted yellow.

Class Utilisation Exceeding Policy
This condition indicates that QoS class was configured for a certain bandwidth and the traffic levels have exceeded the configured policy. This may not be a problem, depending on QoS configuration, traffic may be being forwarded or discarded, if necessary increase the bandwidth allocated to this class.
  If an interface utilisation is greater than 0% input and 0% output;
  AND PrePolicyUtil exceeds the classes configured bandwidth Percent;
  THEN this class is highlighted yellow.
