Configuring QoS on the GGSN

This chapter describes how to configure Quality of Service (QoS) functions to differentiate traffic flow
through the GGSN.
For a complete description of the GGSN commands in this chapter, refer to the Cisco IOS Mobile
Wireless Command Reference. To locate documentation of other commands that appear in this chapter,

Overview of QoS Support on the GGSN

The Cisco IOS GGSN Release 4.0 software supports 2.5G GPRS QoS (as defined in GSM standards
02.60, 03.60, and 04.08) and 3G UMTS QoS (as defined in 3GPP X). Each GPRS/UMTS PDP context
request contains either a GPRS QoS profile or UMTS QoS profile.
The implementation of QoS support in the GPRS/UMTS PLMN varies by the service provider and the
available resources in the network. The GSM standards define the GPRS QoS classes that can be
requested by a GPRS MS. The 3GPP standards define the UMTS QoS classes that can be defined by a
UMTS MS. However, the resulting QoS is negotiated and variable within the GPRS/UMTS network
backbone according to the implementations of the service provider.

GPRS QoS
GPRS QoS profiles is considered a single parameter that defines the following data transfer class
attributes according to the GSM standard:
• Precedence class
• Delay class
• Reliability class

 Chapter 9 Configuring QoS on the GGSN

• Peak throughput class

• Mean throughput class

UMTS QoS
To manage different level of QoS, UMTS has defined the four QoS traffic classes based on delay, jitter,
bandwidth, and reliability factors:
• Conversational
• Streaming
• Interactive
• Background
GGSN Release 4.0 delivers end-to-end UMTS QoS by implementing it using the Cisco IOS QoS
Differentiated Services (Diffserv).
This chapter describes the QoS support that the GGSN Release 4.0 provides for the GPRS and UMTS
QoS classes.

Configuring GPRS QoS on the GGSN

GGSN Release 3.0 and later supports two methods of GPRS QoS support, only one of which can be
activated globally on the GGSN for all GPRS traffic processing:
• Canonical QoS—Maps GPRS QoS classes to canonical QoS classes.
• Delay QoS—Maps GPRS QoS classes to delay QoS classes.

Configuring Canonical QoS on the GGSN

This section describes how to configure the canonical QoS method on the GGSN. It includes the
following topics:
• Overview of Canonical QoS, page 9-2
• Canonical QoS Configuration Task List, page 9-3
• Verifying the Canonical QoS Configuration, page 9-7
• Canonical QoS Configuration Example, page 9-27

Overview of Canonical QoS

GGSN Release 1.2 and later supports the canonical QoS method. The canonical QoS method on the
GGSN supports three levels of QoS classification: Best effort, normal, and premium.
When you enable canonical QoS, the GGSN examines the QoS profile in PDP context requests for three
of the five GPRS QoS classes (delay, precedence, and mean throughput). Based on combinations of
values for those GPRS QoS class attributes, the GGSN maps the resulting QoS class to best effort,
normal, or premium classifications.

Cisco IOS Mobile Wireless Configuration Guide

 Chapter 9 Configuring QoS on the GGSN
Configuring GPRS QoS on the GGSN

Table 9-1 shows how the GGSN maps the different combinations of GPRS QoS class attributes within a
PDP context request to a particular canonical QoS class, when canonical QoS is enabled on the GGSN.
For example, if the QoS profile of a PDP context request specifies the best effort delay class, and any
class of precedence and mean throughput, then the GGSN classifies that PDP context as the best effort
canonical class.

Table 9-1 GPRS QoS Class Attribute Combinations Mapped to GGSN Canonical QoS Classes

Delay Class Precedence Class Mean Throughput Class GGSN Canonical QoS Class
Best effort Any Any Best effort
1, 2, or 3 Low Any Best effort
1, 2, or 3 Any Best effort Best effort
1, 2, or 3 Normal Specified Normal
1, 2, or 3 High Specified Premium

Once you have enabled the canonical QoS method on the GGSN, you can map the canonical QoS classes
to IP Type of Service (ToS) categories. IP ToS mappings allow the GGSN to support differentiated
services according to RFC 2475, Architecture for Differentiated Services Framework. For more
information, see the “Mapping Canonical QoS Classes to IP ToS Precedence” section on page 9-4. For
more information about configuring the GGSN for differentiated services support, see the Cisco IOS
Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide and Command Reference publications.
For the canonical QoS method, the GGSN sets aside a configurable amount of resource to be used for
QoS processing. The GGSN allocates a portion of this total available resource for canonical QoS upon
PDP context activation, based upon the QoS class to which the PDP context has been assigned. Typically,
the GGSN uses more of its resources in support of the higher canonical QoS classes. As of GGSN
Release 3.0, the total default amount of resource set aside by the GGSN for canonical QoS support is
3,145,728,000 bits per second. You can modify this value using the gprs canonical-qos
gsn-resource-factor command. For more information, see the “Configuring Total GGSN Resources for
Canonical QoS Support” section on page 9-5.
When a request for a user session comes in as a PDP context activation request, the GGSN determines
whether the requested QoS for the session packets can be handled based on the amount of the
gprs canonical-qos gsn-resource-factor that is available on the GGSN. Based on this determination,
one of the following occurs:
• If the GGSN can provide the requested QoS, then the GGSN maintains that level of service.
• If the GGSN cannot provide the requested QoS, then the GGSN either lowers the QoS for the PDP
context, or it rejects the PDP context request.

Canonical QoS Configuration Task List

To implement the canonical QoS method on the GGSN, you must enable the function. From there, you
can modify the canonical QoS options to support your network environment.
To configure canonical QoS on the GGSN, perform the following tasks:
• Enabling Canonical QoS on the GGSN, page 9-4 (Required)
• Mapping Canonical QoS Classes to IP ToS Precedence, page 9-4 (Optional)
• Customizing the Canonical QoS Configuration, page 9-5 (Optional)

Enabling Canonical QoS on the GGSN

Canonical QoS is not automatically enabled by the GGSN. To enable canonical QoS on the GGSN, use
the following command in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs qos map canonical-qos Enables mapping of GPRS QoS categories to a canonical
QoS method that includes best effort, normal, and premium
canonical QoS classes.

Mapping Canonical QoS Classes to IP ToS Precedence

Once you have enabled the canonical QoS method on the GGSN, you can map the canonical QoS classes
to IP Type of Service (ToS) precedence. You can specify a mapping from the best effort, normal and
premium canonical QoS categories to the ToS precedence bits (between 0 and 7, although 6 and 7 are
not typically used). ToS precedence is reported in the IP header for packets transmitted over the Gn (GTP
tunnel) and Gi interfaces.
All of the keyword arguments for the command are optional. However, if you specify a value for the
normal argument, you must specify a value for the premium argument. And if you specify a value for
the best-effort argument, then you must specify a value for both the premium and the normal
arguments. The default Tos precedence values are 2 for premium, 1 for normal, and 0 for best effort.
The ToS precedence classes are defined as follows:
0 Routine
1 Priority
2 Immediate
3 Flash
4 Flash Override
5 Critical ECP
6 Internetwork Control
7 Network Control

Note The GTP signaling messages should always have the highest precedence in the GPRS network to help
ensure the expedited delivery of those control messages. You can configure the ToS for GTP signaling
messages using the gprs gtp map signalling tos command. The default value is 5.

To map canonical QoS classes to IP ToS precedence bits, use the following command in global
configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs canonical-qos map tos [premium (Optional) Specifies a QoS mapping from the canonical QoS
tos-value [normal tos-value [best-effort tos-value]]] classes to an IP ToS precedence value, where tos-value is an
integer between 0 and 7 (values of 6 and 7 are not typically
used).

Customizing the Canonical QoS Configuration

This section describes some of the options that you can configure on the GGSN to further customize the
default canonical QoS configuration.
Once you enable canonical QoS, the GGSN establishes default values for the allocation of GGSN
resources to support canonical QoS processing. However, you most likely will want to modify the
defaults based upon the GPRS traffic patterns and QoS profiles in use on your network.
This section includes the following topics:
• Configuring Total GGSN Resources for Canonical QoS Support, page 9-5
• Configuring GGSN Resources for the Best Effort Class, page 9-6
• Configuring the Deviation Factor for the Premium Class, page 9-6

Configuring Total GGSN Resources for Canonical QoS Support

For the canonical QoS method, the GGSN sets aside a configurable amount of resource that it uses for
QoS processing. The GGSN allocates a portion of this total available resource for canonical QoS upon
activating a PDP context, based upon the QoS class that the GGSN assigns to the PDP context. Typically,
the GGSN uses more of its resources in support of the higher canonical QoS classes.
The GGSN allocates a portion of the total resource, and deducts that portion from the total available
resource on the GGSN, according to the canonical QoS classes as follows:
• Best effort—The GGSN allocates the amount of resource specified by the gprs canonical-qos
best-effort bandwidth-factor command for a best-effort PDP context. The default is 10 bps.
• Normal—The GGSN allocates the amount of resource according to the mean throughput value
requested in the PDP context.
• Premium—The GGSN allocates the amount of resource according to a calculation of the minimum
value of the requested peak throughput and mean throughput in the PDP context, along with a
configurable deviation factor. You can configure the deviation factor using the gprs canonical-qos
premium mean-throughput-deviation command.
Once the GGSN allocates resources for a PDP context, it does not make the resource available again until
it deletes the PDP context or it receives an update request that requires a change to the allocated resource.
The total default amount of resource set aside by the GGSN for canonical QoS support is 3,145,728,000
bits per second. The default value for this command was chosen to support 10000 PDP contexts with a
premium QoS class. If you require greater throughput for the GPRS data on your network, increase the
resource factor value. However, be aware that if you select a value that is too high, you might exceed the
actual processing capacity of the GGSN.
To configure the total GGSN resource for canonical QoS support, use the following command in global
configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs canonical-qos gsn-resource-factor (Optional) Specifies the total amount of resource that the
resource-factor GGSN uses to provide QoS service levels to mobile users.
The default is 3,145,728,000 bits per second.

 Chapter 9 Configuring QoS on the GGSN
Configuring GPRS QoS on the GGSN

Configuring GGSN Resources for the Best Effort Class

You can also configure resource to be reserved for best effort QoS classes on the GGSN using the gprs
canonical-qos best-effort bandwidth-factor command. This command specifies an average bandwidth
that is expected to be used by best-effort QoS class mobile sessions. The default value is 10 bps. If you
observe that users accessing the GGSN are using a higher average bandwidth, then you should increase
the bandwidth value.
To modify the bandwidth factor for the best-effort canonical QoS class, use the following command in
global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs canonical-qos best-effort (Optional) Specifies the bandwidth factor to be applied to the
bandwidth-factor bandwidth-factor canonical best-effort QoS class. The default value is 10 bps.

Configuring the Deviation Factor for the Premium Class

The GGSN uses the minimum value of the requested peak throughput and mean throughput in the PDP
context, along with a configurable deviation factor to determine how much resource to allocate for the
premium QoS class.
You can configure a deviation factor (factor/1000) to adjust the result of the calculation that the GGSN
uses to determine the amount of data throughput to allocate for premium QoS support.
The GGSN bases its calculation on the following formula, which includes the throughput deviation
factor:
EB = Min[p, m + a (p - m)]
Where
• EB = the effective bandwidth
• p = peak throughput from the GPRS QoS profile in the PDP context request
• m = mean throughput from the GPRS QoS profile in the PDP context request
• a = the deviation factor, a, divided by 1000 (a/1000)
To configure the deviation factor that the GGSN uses for calculation of premium canonical QoS support,
use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs canonical-qos premium (Optional) Specifies a mean throughput deviation factor that
mean-throughput-deviation deviation-factor the GGSN uses to calculate the allowable data throughput
for the premium QoS class. The default is 100.

Configuring Delay QoS on the GGSN

This section describes how to configure the delay QoS method on the GGSN. It includes the following
topics:
• Overview of Delay QoS, page 9-8
• Delay QoS Configuration Task List, page 9-9
• Verifying the Delay QoS Configuration, page 9-10
• Delay QoS Configuration Example, page 9-29

Overview of Delay QoS

GGSN Release 3.0 and later supports the delay QoS method. The delay QoS method on the GGSN
supports four levels of QoS classification: Class 1, class 2, class 3 and best effort.
When you enable delay QoS, the GGSN examines the QoS profile in PDP context requests for three of
the five GPRS QoS classes (delay, precedence, and mean throughput). Based on combinations of values
for those GPRS QoS class attributes, the GGSN maps the resulting delay QoS class to class 1, class 2,
class 3, or best effort categories.
Table 9-2 shows how the GGSN maps the different combinations of GPRS QoS class attributes within a
PDP context request to a particular delay QoS class, when delay QoS is enabled on the GGSN. For
example, if the QoS profile of a PDP context request specifies the best effort delay class, and any class
of precedence and mean throughput, then the GGSN classifies that PDP context as the best effort delay
class.

To configure delay QoS on the GGSN, perform the following tasks:
• Enabling Delay QoS on the GGSN, page 9-9 (Required)
• Mapping Delay QoS Classes to IP ToS Precedence, page 9-9 (Optional)

Enabling Delay QoS on the GGSN

Delay QoS is not automatically enabled by the GGSN. To enable delay QoS on the GGSN, use the
following command in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs qos map delay Enables mapping of GPRS QoS categories to a delay QoS
method that includes the class 1, class 2, class 3, and best
effort classes.

Mapping Delay QoS Classes to IP ToS Precedence

Once you have enabled the delay QoS method on the GGSN, you can map the delay QoS classes to IP
Type of Service (ToS) precedence. You can specify a mapping from the class1, class2, class3, or class
best effort delay QoS categories to the ToS precedence bits (between 0 and 7, although 6 and 7 are not
typically used). ToS precedence is reported in the IP header for packets transmitted over the Gn (GTP
tunnel) and Gi interfaces.
The class2, class3 and class-best-effort keyword arguments are optional. However, if you specify a
value for the class3 argument, you must specify a value for the class2 argument. And, if you specify a
value for the class-best-effort argument, then you must specify a value for both the class2 and the class3
arguments.
The ToS precedence classes are defined as follows:
0 Routine
1 Priority
2 Immediate

Note The GTP signaling messages should always have the highest precedence in the GPRS network to help
ensure the expedited delivery of those control messages. You can configure the ToS for GTP signaling

GGSN Release 4.0 and later supports end-to-end UMTS QoS by implementing it using Cisco IOS
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model. The DiffServ model is a multiple service model that can
satisfy differing QoS requirements. With DiffServ, the network tries to deliver a particular kind of
service based on the QoS specified by each packet. This specification can occur in different ways, for
example, using the 6-bit differentiated services code point (DSCP) setting in IP packets or source and
destination addresses. The network uses the QoS specification to classify, mark, shape, and police traffic,
and to perform intelligent queueing.
For complete information on Cisco IOS QoS and the DiffServ service model, see the Cisco IOS Quality
of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.

To implement the UMTS QoS method on the GGSN, you must first enable the function. From there, you
can modify the UMTS QoS options to support your network needs.
To configure UMTS QoS on the GGSN, perform the following tasks:
• Enabling UMTS QoS Mapping on the GGSN (Required)
• Mapping UMTS QoS Traffic to a DiffServ PHB (Optional)
• Assigning DSCP to a DiffServ PHB Group (Optional)
• Configuring the DSCP in the Subscriber Datagram (Optional)
• Verifying UMTS QoS Configuration

Enabling UMTS QoS Mapping on the GGSN

By default, UMTS QoS is not enabled on the GGSN. To enable UMTS QoS on the GGSN, use the
following command in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs qos map umts Enables UMTS QoS mapping on the GGSN.

Mapping UMTS QoS Traffic Classes to a DiffServ PHB Group

Before you can specify a QoS mapping from the UMTS QoS traffic classes to a DiffServ per-hop
behavior (PHB) group, you must enable UMTS QoS mapping using the gprs qos map umts global
configuration command.
The default mapping values for UMTS QoS traffic classes are as follows:
• conversational traffic class to the ef-class DiffServ PHB group
• streaming traffic class to the af2-class DiffServ PHB group
• interactive traffic class to the af3-class DiffServ PHB group
• background traffic class to the best-effort DiffServ PHB group
If you wish to use mapping values other than these defaults, you can use the gprs umts-qos map
traffic-class command to map a UMTS traffic class to another DiffServ PHB group.

Note To successfully map UMTS QoS traffic classes to a DiffServ PHB, the class maps must be configured
using the class map and match ip dscp Cisco IOS software commands. For more information about
configuring class maps, see the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.

precedence. The signalling, EF, and best-effort classes do not have drop precedence, so only the first
DSCP value is used. If you enter a value for the dscp2 or dscp3 arguments for these classes, it is ignored.

Note Drop precedence indicates the order in which a packet will be dropped when there is congestion on the
network.

Note To successfully map UMTS QoS traffic classes to a DiffServ PHB and assign a DSCP value to a DiffServ
PHB group, the class maps must be configured using the class map and match ip dscp commands. For
more information about configuring class maps, see Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions
Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Command Reference.

Note By default, signalling class is assigned to CS5 (101000), which is the equivalent of IP precedence 5.

To assign a DSCP value to a DiffServ PHB group, use the following command in global configuration
mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs umts-qos map diffserv-phb Assigns a DSCP to a DiffServ PHB group where the DiffServ
diffserv-phb-group [dscp1] [dscp2] [dscp3] PHB groups are:
• signalling
• ef-class
• af1-class
• af2-class
• af3-class
• af4-class
• best-effort
and the DSCPs are:
• dscp1—Required for all classes. Specifies one of 64
DSCP values from 0 to 63. This DSCP value corresponds
to drop precedence 1.
• dscp2—(Optional for AF classes) Specifies one of 64
DSCP values from 0 to 63. This DSCP value corresponds
to drop precedence 2.
• dscp3—(Optional for AF classes) Specifies one of 64
DSCP values from 0 to 63. This DSCP value corresponds
to drop precedence 3.

Configuring the DSCP in the Subscriber Datagram

By default, the DSCP in subscriber datagrams is re-marked with the DSCP assigned to the traffic class
when the PDP context was created.
To specify that the subscriber datagram be forwarded through the GTP path without modifying its DSCP,
use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs umts-qos dscp unmodified [up | Specifies that the subscriber datagram be forwarded through
down | all] the GTP path without modifying its DSCP.

To return to the default value, issue the no gprs umts-qos dscp unmodified command.

Configuring the GGSN Default QoS as Requested QoS

If you are not using GPRS QoS or UMTS QoS mapping on the GGSN, you can configure the GGSN to
set its default QoS values in the response message exactly as requested in the create PDP context request
message. By using this command, you can prevent the GGSN from lowering the requested QoS.
To configure the GGSN to set the requested QoS as the default QoS, use the following command
beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Router(config)# gprs qos default-response requested (Optional) Specifies that the GGSN sets its default QoS
values in the response message exactly as requested in the
create PDP context request message.

Note When the gprs qos default-response requested command is not configured, and GPRS canonical QoS
is not enabled, the GGSN sets its default QoS class to best effort.

Note The canonical QoS class and effective bandwidth output fields only apply when GPRS QoS canonical
QoS is in use on the GGSN.

The following sections describe how you can interpret some of the GPRS QoS information that is
provided by the show gprs gtp pdp-context command:
• Determining the ToS Precedence, page 9-21
• Interpreting the Requested and Negotiated GPRS QoS, page 9-22
• Interpreting the Effective Bandwidth for a PDP Context, page 9-23 (Canonical QoS only)

Determining the ToS Precedence

To determine the ToS precedence for a PDP context, you need to convert the hexadecimal value shown
in the tos mask map output field of the show gprs gtp pdp-context command to binary format. From
there, you can interpret the ToS precedence bits, which are the first 3 bits of the binary conversion.

Cisco IOS Mobile Wireless Configuration Guide

9-21
 Chapter 9 Configuring QoS on the GGSN
Monitoring and Maintaining QoS on the GGSN

In the following example, we use a tos mask map value of 20 to show this conversion:

Step 1 Convert the value of the tos mask map field (20) to binary, where 2=0010 and 0=0000. This results in
the following binary format:
0010 0000
Step 2 Identify the first 3 bits of the binary representation, which is 001-0 in our example. (The remaining 0000
bits are ignored.)
Step 3 Convert the first 3 bits to a decimal number. In our example, 001=1. Therefore, the ToS precedence for
this PDP context is 1.

Interpreting the Requested and Negotiated GPRS QoS

To determine the various GPRS QoS class attributes shown in the gprs qos_req and gprs qos_neg output
fields of the show gprs gtp pdp-context command, you need to convert the values provided to binary
format. From there, you can interpret the class attribute values according to the GSM specifications for
QoS, which can be found in GSM standards 02.60, 03.60, and 04.08.
In the following example, we use a GPRS QoS value of 25131F to show this conversion:

Step 1 Convert the hexadecimal value of the gprs qos_req or gprs qos_neq field (25131F) to binary, where
2=0010, 5=0101, 1=0001, 3=0011, 1=0001, and F=1111. This results in the following binary format:
0010 0101 0001 0011 0001 1111
Step 2 Group the bits in the following manner:

First 2 Next 3 bits Next 3 bits Next 4 bits Next 1 bit Next 3 bits Next 3 bits Last 5 bits
bits
00 100 101 0001 0 011 000 1 1111
don’t care delay reliability peak don’t care precedence don’t care mean
throughput

Step 3 Convert the bit groups to decimal numbers, and correlate the value to the QoS classes according to the
GSM specifications. For example, for the delay class, the binary 100=4, which corresponds to delay
class 4.
In this example, the corresponding QoS classes are delay class 4, reliability class 5, peak class 1,
precedence class 3, and mean throughput is best effort:

First 2 Next 3 bits Next 3 bits Next 4 bits Next 1 bit Next 3 bits Next 3 bits Last 5 bits
bits
00 100 101 0001 0 011 000 1 1111

Monitoring and Maintaining QoS on the GGSN

Interpreting the Effective Bandwidth for a PDP Context

You can use the show gprs gtp pdp-context tid command to display an output field called effective
bandwidth in bits per second. The effective bandwidth is determined according to the GPRS canonical
QoS class (premium, normal, or best effort) for the PDP context. However, it is an estimate and does not
represent the actual bandwidth in use by the PDP context.
You can calculate the potential number of supported PDP contexts for a class of QoS using the effective
bandwidth value. To determine an estimate of the potential number of PDP contexts of a particular class
that can be supported on the GGSN, you can divide the total bandwidth available on the GGSN by the
effective bandwidth value for the GPRS QoS class.
The following example shows how to estimate the potential number of PDP contexts that the GGSN can
support for a particular canonical QoS class at an expected effective bandwidth:

Step 1 Use the show gprs gtp pdp-context command with either the tid or imsi keywords and find the value
of the effective bandwidth field. In our example, we will use 10000 bps.
Step 2 To estimate the number of best effort PDP contexts that the GGSN can support with an effective
bandwidth of 10000 bps, divide the total amount of resource on the GGSN for canonical QoS by the
effective bandwidth used.
In this example, we will use the default total resource value of 4294967295 and the following
calculation:
4294967295 ÷ 10000
where 4294957295 is the total resource. The result is an estimated 429496 best effort PDP contexts.

Note To verify the total amount of resource on the GGSN for canonical QoS, you can use the show
gprs qos status command.

Displaying GPRS QoS Status on the GGSN

You can use the show gprs qos status command to display several different types of canonical QoS
information, including GGSN resources in use, number of active PDP contexts by canonical QoS class,
and mean throughput by canonical QoS class.

Note The output of the show gprs qos status command varies depending on the type of QoS method in use
on the GGSN.

The following example shows 2 active PDP contexts on the GGSN that are using the best effort canonical
QoS class. The mean throughput for the 2 PDP contexts is 20000 bps (a cumulative value, which
corresponds to an effective bandwidth of 10000 bps for each PDP context in this example):

Cisco IOS Mobile Wireless Configuration Guide

9-23
 Chapter 9 Configuring QoS on the GGSN
Monitoring and Maintaining QoS on the GGSN

The following example displays output from the show gprs qos status command for canonical QoS:
router# show gprs qos status
GPRS QoS Status:
type:Canonical
gsn_used_bandwidth:20000 total gsn_resource:4294967295
mean_throughput_premium:0.000
mean_throughput_normal:0.000 mean_throughput_besteffort 0.000
qos_high_pdp:0 qos_normal_pdp:0
qos_low_pdp :2 qos_premium mean-throughput-deviation 0.500

Interpreting the GGSN Resources Allocated for GPRS Canonical QoS Support

When GPRS QoS is enabled on the GGSN, the show gprs qos status command shows cumulative values
for the currently active PDP contexts on the GGSN (the total gsn_resource and qos premium
mean-throughput-deviation values are not cumulative).
For multiple PDP contexts, the used resource is a cumulative value across all active PDP contexts and
can represent different QoS classes. In the example, the gsn_used_bandwidth value of 20000 bps
represents the total bps in use for the 2 best effort PDP contexts.
To determine the amount of available GGSN resource remaining for canonical QoS support, you can
subtract the current value of the gsn_used_bandwidth from the total gsn_resource. In this example, the
calculation is:
4294967295 – 20000
which equals an estimated 4294947295 resource remaining for canonical QoS processing.

Displaying PDP Contexts by GPRS QoS Canonical QoS Precedence Class

When GPRS QoS is enabled on the GGSN, to display the current number of active PDP contexts by
canonical QoS precedence class, perform the following steps:

Step 1 To verify the canonical QoS precedence class for which there are currently active PDP contexts, use the
show gprs qos status command. The following example shows that 1 PDP context is currently active
for the high precedence (or premium canonical QoS) class on the GGSN:
The following example displays output from the show gprs qos status command for canonical QoS:
router# show gprs qos status
GPRS QoS Status:
type:Canonical
gsn_used_bandwidth:800 total gsn_resource:1048576
mean_throughput_premium:0.220
mean_throughput_normal:0.000 mean_throughput_besteffort 0.000
qos_high_pdp:1 qos_normal_pdp:0
qos_low_pdp :0 qos_premium mean-throughput-deviation 0.100

Step 2 To display information about active PDP contexts in a particular precedence class, use the show gprs
gtp pdp-context qos-precedence command. The following example shows information about the active
PDP context in the high precedence (premium) class:
Router# show gprs gtp pdp-context qos-precedence high

To display the current number of active PDP contexts by delay QoS class, use the show gprs qos status
command. The following example shows 1 active PDP context using delay class 1, 1 active PDP context
using delay class 2, and 2 active PDP contexts using the delay best effort class. The total number of 4
PDP contexts is indicated in the activated_pdp output field:

qos_delay3_pdp: 0 qos_delaybesteffort_pdp 2

Displaying PDP Contexts by GPRS QoS Delay QoS Class

To display the current number of active PDP contexts by delay QoS class, perform the following steps:

Step 1 To verify the delay QoS classes for which there are currently active PDP contexts, use the show gprs
qos status command. The following examples shows that there are active PDP contexts for each of the
delay classes except class 3:

router# show gprs qos status

GPRS QoS Status:
type:Delay
qos_delay1_pdp:1 qos_delay2_pdp: 1
qos_delay3_pdp:0 qos_delaybesteffort_pdp 2

Step 2 To display information about PDP contexts in a particular delay class, use the show gprs gtp
pdp-context qos-delay command as shown in the following examples:
