The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Understanding QoS

Asked by donemore2003 in Network Routers, Network Switches & Hubs

Tags: Cisco

Can someone expalin what this QoS map tables mean.  Is it important to understand what they mean or are they auto generated by just turning QoS on on the switch/router.  How do you read them? What do the d1 and d2 represent?  I thought DSCP valuse range from 0 - 63.  If that's the case, on the DSCP-COS map whay are the numbers onlt going from 0-7.  I can understand why the Cos-dscp map make sense since the numbers from 0 - 56 are represented in the DSCP values.  It confusing how the maping values change on

1.
Dscp-cos map:
     d1 :  d2 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9
     ---------------------------------------
      0 :    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 01
      1 :    01 01 01 01 01 01 02 02 02 02
      2 :    02 02 02 02 03 03 03 03 03 03
      3 :    03 03 04 04 04 04 04 04 04 04
      4 :    05 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 06 06
      5 :    06 06 06 06 06 06 07 07 07 07
      6 :    07 07 07 07

2.
Dscp-switch priority map:
     d1 :  d2 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9
     ---------------------------------------
      0 :    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
      1 :    00 00 00 00 00 00 01 01 01 01
      2 :    01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
      3 :    01 01 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 02
      4 :    02 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 03 03
      5 :    03 03 03 03 03 03 03 03 03 03
      6 :    03 03 03 03

scp-dscp mutation map:
   Default DSCP Mutation Map:
     d1 :  d2 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9
     ---------------------------------------
      0 :    00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09
      1 :    10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
      2 :    20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
      3 :    30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
      4 :    40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49
      5 :    50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59
      6 :    60 61 62 63

I have all the notes that I can read, but none expalins how to read these and why they change like that.  This subject is kicking me in the gut.  Help.!!!..  -:)

The terms ingress and egress are confusing as well

for example, when I run the command
 # sh mls qos interface statistics

I get this---

GigabitEthernet0/2
Ingress
  dscp: incoming         no_change     classified policed    dropped (in bytes)
Others: 2005512940  1999692272   5820668                   0          0        
Egress
  dscp: incoming       no_change     classified policed    dropped (in bytes)
Others: 3781506923    n/a              n/a                                  0          0        

Why on Egress there  is ingress, I can understand Ingress and Incoming

Explain the ingress and egress on the same port especially when you have to assign DSCP or CoS values

Can someone help.  Like I mentioned, none of the books or white papers explain.  They just dive into the details of QoS.  IIt's difficult to move forward before I understand these basics and hoping someone cn help.
