Nomadix QoS Module Overview

The Quality of Service Module allows the Nomadix device to classify and mark traffic with priority levels from 0-7 using 802.1p Class-of-Service marking. This marking can then be used by other 802.1p aware network devices like switches to prioritize traffic. While only 802.1p marking is currently supported, this provides basic traffic prioritization and management of time-sensitive traffic through the network.

Quality of Service Module


The Nomadix Quality of Service (QoS) module adds the ability to classify and mark traffic based on single or multiple traffic characteristics, such as source/destination addresses, protocol transport types, port values, or some combination of these through an 802.1p class-of-service (CoS) method. This allows for frames to be marked with one of eight priority levels (0-7). The unit can mark traffic based on traffic-matching algorithms that are applied through internally configured policies, as well as pass previously marked packets through the unit, and can also perform a combination of both approaches. This allows other 802.1p aware devices (such as switches) to then leverage this marking and thus provide traffic prioritization services on both the subscriber and network sides of the NSE, thus enhancing control of network throughput and providing more optimal management of time and delay sensitive traffic. Since 802.1p priority bits are contained within 802.1q VLAN tags, 802.1q capability must be enabled on the unit and on the network in order for the QoS features to be utilized. Also, 802.1p marking is the only QoS capability that is supported in the initial release of the module. Internal traffic prioritization, as well as other overall QoS methodologies (such as DiffServ), are not included at this time. QoS will only be available on wired NSE platforms and limits the maximum optional user count by half; for the AG 3100 this limit is 100; for the AG 5500 this limit is 1000.

QoS implemented via 802.1p Class-of-Service (CoS) marking, communicated on 802.1q trunk links. CoS can be propagated (over trunks) to other 802.1p-capable devices.
