Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set qos advance-buffer-config default-global ingress-mgmt-buffer shared-bytes 14000

nv set qos congestion-control <profile-id>

Configures ECN; an end-to-end flow control technology. Instead of telling adjacent devices to stop transmitting during times of buffer congestion, ECN sets the ECN bits of the transit IPv4 or IPv6 header to indicate to end hosts that congestion might occur. As a result, the sending hosts reduce their sending rate until the transit switch no longer sets ECN bits.

ECN operates by having a transit switch that marks packets between two end hosts. You use ECN with RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE).

nv set qos congestion-control <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id>

Configures traffic class settings for the specified ECN profile.

nv set qos congestion-control <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id> ecn

Turns ECN bit marking on or off for the traffic class in the specified ECN profile.

Command Syntax

Example

nv set qos congestion-control <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id> max-threshold <value>

Configures the maximum buffer threshold in bytes. Cumulus Linux marks all ECN-capable packets when buffer congestion crosses this threshold.

Command Syntax

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.3.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set qos congestion-control default-global traffic-class 4,5,7 max-threshold 200000 

nv set qos congestion-control <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id> min-threshold <value>

Configures the minimum buffer threshold in bytes. Random ECN marking starts when buffer congestion crosses this threshold. The probability determines if ECN marking occurs.

Command Syntax

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.3.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set qos congestion-control default-global traffic-class 4,5,7 min-threshold 40000 

nv set qos congestion-control <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id> probability

Configures the probability that Cumulus Linux marks an ECN-capable packet when buffer congestion is between the minimum threshold and the maximum threshold. You can set a value between 1 and 100.

Command Syntax

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.3.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set qos congestion-control default-global traffic-class 4,5,7 probability 80 

nv set qos congestion-control <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id> red

Turns RED on or off.

ECN prevents packet drops in the network due to congestion by signaling hosts to transmit less. However, if congestion continues after ECN marking, packets drop after the switch buffer is full. By default, Cumulus Linux tail-drops packets when the buffer is full. You can enable RED to drop packets that are in the queue randomly instead of always dropping the last arriving packet. This might improve overall performance of TCP based flows.

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.3.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set qos congestion-control default-global traffic-class 4,5,7 red enable

nv set qos egress-queue-mapping <profile-id>

Configures egress queues. Cumulus Linux supports eight egress queues to provide different classes of service. By default switch priority values map directly to the matching egress queue. For example, switch priority value 0 maps to egress queue 0.

You can remap queues by changing the switch priority value to the corresponding queue value. You can map multiple switch priority values to a single egress queue.

nv set qos egress-queue-mapping <profile-id> switch-priority <qos-sp-id>

Configures the switch priority for the egress queue profile.

nv set qos egress-queue-mapping <profile-id> switch-priority <qos-sp-id> traffic-class

Configures the switch priority to egress queue mapping.

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.3.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set qos egress-queue-mapping default-global switch-priority 2 traffic-class 7

nv set qos egress-scheduler <profile-id>

Configures the egress scheduler. Cumulus Linux supports 802.1Qaz, Enhanced Transmission Selection, which allows the switch to assign bandwidth to egress queues and then schedule the transmission of traffic from each queue. 802.1Qaz supports Priority Queuing.

Cumulus Linux provides a default egress scheduler that applies to all ports, where the bandwidth allocated to egress queues 0,2,4,6 is 12 percent and the bandwidth allocated to egress queues 1,3,5,7 is 13 percent.

nv set qos egress-scheduler <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id>

Configures the traffic class for the specified egress scheduler profile. The traffic class defines the egress queue where you want to assign bandwidth. For example, traffic-class 2 defines the bandwidth allocation for egress queue 2.

nv set qos egress-scheduler <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id> bw-percent

Configures the bandwidth percent value between 1 and 100 for the specified egress queue. If you do not specify a value for an egress queue, Cumulus Linux uses a DWRR value of 0 (no egress scheduling). The combined total of values you assign must be less than or equal to 100.

nv set qos egress-shaper <profile-id>

Configures traffic shaping, which allows a switch to send traffic at an average bitrate lower than the physical interface. Traffic shaping prevents a receiving device from dropping bursty traffic if the device is either not capable of that rate of traffic or has a policer that limits what it accepts.

Traffic shaping works by holding packets in the buffer and releasing them at specific time intervals.

nv set qos egress-shaper <profile-id> port-max-rate

Configures the maximum packet shaper rate for the specified profile. You can set a value between 0 and 2147483647.

nv set qos egress-shaper <profile-id> traffic-class <qos-tc-id> max-rate

nv set qos link-pause <profile-id>

Configures QoS link pause; an older congestion control mechanism that causes all traffic on a link between two switches, or between a host and switch, to stop transmitting during times of congestion. Pause frames start and stop depending on buffer congestion. You configure pause frames on a per-direction, per-interface basis. You can receive pause frames to stop the switch from transmitting when requested, send pause frames to request neighboring devices to stop transmitting, or both.

nv set qos link-pause <profile-id> cable-length

Configures the cable length in meters for the specified link pause profile. You can specify a value between 1 and 100000.

nv set qos mapping <profile-id>

Configures trust 802.1p and DSCP marking.

When a frame or packet arrives on the switch, Cumulus Linux maps it to an internal COS (switch priority) value. This value never writes to the frame or packet but classifies and schedules traffic internally through the switch.

You can define the trusted values: 802.1p, DSCP, or both.

nv set qos mapping <profile-id> dscp <qos-dscp-id>

Configures trust DSCP marking.

nv set qos mapping <profile-id> dscp <qos-dscp-id> switch-priority

nv set qos pfc <profile-id>

Configures Priority flow control (PFC) settings. PFC extends the capabilities of pause frames by the frames for a specific 802.1p value instead of stopping all traffic on a link. If a switch supports PFC and receives a PFC pause frame for a given 802.1p value, the switch stops transmitting frames from that queue, but continues transmitting frames for other queues.
