1 UP mapping Date: 2017-09-04 Authors: September 2017
doc.: IEEE /1445r0 September 2017 UP mapping Date: Authors: Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

2 September 2017 Abstract Today’s Quality of Service support in packet based networks relies on edge devices marking packets Differentiated Service Code Points (DSCP) [2] used with Internet Protocol (IP) [1] is a “trust and honor” system Intermediate “middle boxes” should not alter the marking DSCP consists of 6 b 802 User Priorities (UPs) indicated by 3 b Mapping between DSCP and UP needed Most implementations map DSCP’s three Most Significant Bits (MSBs) to 802 UPs The current mapping in fails to serve DSCP marked Voice over IP (VoIP) packets through Access Category Voice (AC_VO) Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

3 September 2017 UP mapping in follows D-2004 [6] for definition of UPs Because of IEEE 802’s legacy UP 0 has higher priority than UPs 1 and 2 Non-QoS bridges default to UP 0  Best Effort UP AC AC alternative 1 BK 2 BE 3 4 VI A_VI 5 6 VO 7 A_VO Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

4 QoS mapping [4] IPv4 example DSCP ∈ [0 … 63] 1:1 mapping
September 2017 QoS mapping [4] IPv4 example Deprecated “Precedence” [1] equals three Most Significant Bits (MSBs) of DSCP [2] DSCP ∈ [0 … 63] 1:1 mapping DSCP (6 b)  UP (3 b) Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

5 Voice over IP [4] VoIP calls consist of
September 2017 Voice over IP [4] VoIP calls consist of Audio Signaling Audio is latency & loss sensitive Special marking of IP packets DSCP setting for packets carrying audio [3] Expedited Forwarding (EF) DSCP(EF) = = 4610 >> 3 = 1012 1012 = 510 UP (510) = AC Video (!) Mismatch between VoIP DSCP & UP Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

6 Current UP to AC mapping
September 2017 doc.: IEEE /1445r0 September 2017 Current UP to AC mapping 802.11D [6] applied for current mapping 802.11aa introduces further differen­ tiation for Voice and Video (alternative queues) 3 MSB [DSCP(101110)] = 1012 1012 = 510  DSCP(EF) mapped to VI Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

7 A well known issue … “Cisco Unified Wireless QoS Tech Note
September 2017 A well known issue … “Cisco Unified Wireless QoS Tech Note […] DSCP Recommendation—Due to the fact that more and more vendors use p-like markings over the air rather than the original e table (that is, voice is sent as 5 UP instead of 6), Cisco now recommends to trust DSCP end- to-end in order to avoid confusion and mismatches. DSCP also offers more values and choices, is more resilient to native VLANs, and is therefore more reliable to be preserved throughout the network.” [8] “ExpressRoute and QoS in Skype for Business Online […] It is important to note that there is a mismatch in the priority coding for IEEE 802.1p and WMM. The 802.1p the PCP value for voice is 5, however, in the standard equivalence mapping to WMM, PCP 5 is translated to Access Category 2, the WMM access category for video (AC_VI). If possible you should override that mapping so that PCP 5 translates to Access Category 1, or simply avoid using voice and video on the same Wi-Fi network until the Wi-Fi Alliance addresses this issue.” [9] Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

8 September 2017 802.1D vs Q 802.1D-2004, “Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges” [10] 802.1Q-2014, “Bridges and Bridged Networks” [9] Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

9 September 2017 Why is 802.1Q-2014 different? Already 802.1Q [7] introduces text in the right column IEEE 802 is fully aware of the interaction between DSCP and UP Unfortunately, has not investigated this issue so far “This discussion of traffic types, and the suggested association of each with a priority value, differs from […] Annex G of IEEE Std D-2004 and prior revisions of that standard. […] this annex better aligns with current practice; in particular, Voice is associated with priority 5, matching the setting of the relevant bits for Expedited Forwarding (EF) in the DSCP […] for IP” “Standards for DSCPs are believed to be the prime reference for use of priority by end stations […].” Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

10 Necessary modifications
September 2017 Necessary modifications Order of Priorities must be modified New: Catego­ rization of UP 2 is higher than UP 0 Internetwork and network control have higher priority than Voice Voice UP mapping to UP 5 coherent with IP DSCP marking Requires re-mapping of Video UP Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

11 Permutation of UPs Old UP AC (old) New UP AC 1 BK 2 BE 3 4 VI 5 6 VO 7
September 2017 Permutation of UPs Old UP AC (old) New UP AC 1 BK 2 BE 3 4 VI 5 6 VO 7 Old UP AC (old) alternative New UP AC alternative 1 BK 2 BE 3 4 A_VI 5 VI 6 VO 7 A_VO Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

12 Rational of proposed modification
September 2017 Rational of proposed modification Consistency with 802.1Q Comply with general 802 architecture Consistency with widely used DSCP marking Dominant or sole source of QoS marking Consider increasing importance of VoIP over WLAN E.g. “Wi-Fi calling” Today, aa alternative queues seldom or never used No harm by introducing modifications mostly used as final hop technology No Internetwork and network control messages exchanged No two background categories needed Coexistence: limit impact to existing (legacy) implementations New UP AC AC alternative 1 BK BE 2 3 VI A_VI 4 5 VO 6 7 A_VO Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

13 Minimizing modifications
September 2017 Minimizing modifications Blue marking indicates unmodified settings UPs 5 to 7 mapping to AC_VO Internetwork and network control fulfill similar tasks like management frames Without QMF (802.11ae) all management frames map to AC_VO Consistency for video except for seldom used alternative queue UP 2 (Excellent effort) mapping to AC_BE With four queues [5] recommends supporting Network Control, Voice, Critical Applications, and Best Effort Deviation because importance of Video and ’s dominant use as edge technology (no network control, see before) UP AC (old) AC AC (old) alternative AC alternative 1 BK BE 2 3 VI A_VI 4 5 VO 6 7 A_VO Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson

14 September 2017 Conclusion The use of has evolved and the UP marking in did not keep up with recent advancements Past decisions impact today’s use of Compare to previous debates about Ethertype encapsulation (EPD) used by the vast majority of 802 networks and Logical Link Control (LLC) Protocol Discrimination (LPD) used in The proposed modifications do not impact existing devices IP DSCP is the only reliable, widely used source of QoS marking Today’s mismatch between ACs and IP DSCP marking needs to be overcome The UP mapping is broken already today, no need to stick and comply with a known, wrong mapping The problem is only getting worse if maintains its status quo Industry already applies workarounds Even worse, recommendations to “avoid using voice and video on the same Wi-Fi network” There is no legacy compatible solution that keeps the existing, wrong mapping while simultaneously complying with IP DSCP marking Currently, harms itself when serving the VoIP market Guido R. Hiertz, Ericsson
