Analysis of QoS Arjuna Mithra Sreenivasan
Objectives • Explain the different queuing techniques. • Describe factors affecting network voice quality. • Analyse the Effects of using different queuing techniques. • Evaluating Queuing techniques by measuring QoS parameters.
Topics • Why QoS for voice • QoS Review • Queuing Techniques for VoIP
Network Convergence • Run Data ,Voice and other application on the same network. -High availability of bandwidth. • Reduced Costs. -One infrastructure to maintain. -Aggregated bandwidth (cheaper). -PBX and trunking costs.
Why QoS for voice • QoS protects voice over shared media. -the criminal: bursty data application. -loss of 2 packets lowers the quality of voice. • QoS can prioritise VoIP -VoIP is sensitive to delay ,jitter and packet loss. -Prioritisation minimise those effects.
Priority Queue(PQ)-Strict priority for important traffic. Weighted Fair Queue(WFQ)-It schedules interactive traffic to the front of the queue to reduce delay, and shares the remaining bandwidth between high bandwidth flows. Class based WFQ(CBWFQ)-extends the standard WFQ functionality to provide support for user-defined traffic classes. Low Latency Queue(LLQ)-Combination of PQ and CBWFQ. Queuing techniques

Experimental Methodology • Two experiments were conducted -Without QoS -With QoS
Experiment 1 (Without QoS) • QoS Parameters is measured. • The same experiment is conducted by reducing the bandwidth, to create congestion and QoS parameters are measured. • First, calls are initiated, simultaneously the FTP server is accessed.
Analysis of Experiment 1 Results • The experiment is conducted with the link speed of 1.5 Mbps. • Delay was maintained at 60ms. • Jitter and packet loss was negligible. • The experiment was conducted with 0.75 Mbps. • Resulted in packet loss and jitters.
Experiment 2(With QoS) • The experiment was conducted by marking voice packets and implementing queuing techniques. • Traffic were identified and grouped into a class and QoS was applied to the traffic classes. • PQ,WFQ,CBWFQ and LLQ were the queuing techniques configured. • Performance of each queuing technique was observed.
Analysis of Experiment 2 Results. • The PQ is configured on each router. Voice packets are on high priority. • PQ was configured by creating a priority list and specifying the protocol (udp) and mapping it to the access-list, which specify the udp traffic. • The quality of voice was good, but affects FTP application.
Experiment 2(With QoS) • WFQ was configured on serial interfaces of both routers. • Thresholds were configured default, where high bandwidth conversations were dropped. • Jitters obtained did not affect the voice quality, because delay was maintained 70 ms after 8th minute. • The packet loss was found of 3% for 3-4 mins. • FTP was frozen for few mins.
Experiment 2(With QoS) • CBWFQ is configured on both the routers. • The is variation in jitters and packet loss which is negligible. • LLQ has given good results. • Delay was constant and packet loss was negligible.
Conclusion • To achieve reliable, high-quality voice over an IP network, which is designed for data communication is an engineering challenge. • To achieve reliable, high-quality voice over an IP network, which is designed for data communication is an engineering challenge. • According to above experiments performed, LLQ has better performed than any other queuing mechanism. Here voice packets are marked using EF for voice which given a very good result with LLQ.
