IPv6 IPSec QoS (LLQ and QoS Pre-Classify)

The IPv6 IPSec QoS feature applies the Quality of Service (QoS) policies to IPV6 IPsec. This feature supports the following functionalities:

  • Crypto LLQ QoS: Traffic that is classified as priority, for example PAK priority, is en-queued to the priority queue before the crypto processor. The Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) for IPSec encryption engines helps reduce packet latency for priority traffic.
  • IPSec QoS pre-classify: QoS pre-classify is configured under a crypto map to enable IPSec to save the original Layer 3 and Layer 4 header before the encryption so that Quality of Service (QoS) can do the classification using the saved header.
  • QoS group-based LLQ: The QoS group-based LLQ feature allows IPSec to check the LLQ QoS group setting to determine whether a packet is a high priority packet before it is en-queued to Low Latency Queue (LLQ).

The following commands were modified: crypto map and qos pre-classify to reflect IPv6 capabilities

Observation Point ID - distinguish metrics from different interfaces

The Observation Point ID metric identifies a monitored interface for traffic in both directions (ingress and egress). A single flow definition using this metric can be used in place of match interface input and match interface output, making configuration more compact and enabling a single record collected on an interface to include metrics for traffic in both directions.

  • Crypto LLQ QoS: Traffic that is classified as priority, for example PAK priority, is en-queued to the priority queue before the crypto processor. The Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) for IPSec encryption engines helps reduce packet latency for priority traffic.

The following commands were modified: crypto map and qos pre-classify to reflect IPv6 capabilities

Retain DSCP setting of RTP packet

This feature introduces the preserving and forwarding of Differentiated services code point (DSCP) markings received from endpoints by Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) when the programmed value from CUCM is NULL. Media Termination Point (MTP) does not store the DSCP for a session, but picks the value from an incoming packet and inserts it into an outgoing packet. Thus DSCP value from an endpoint can change in the middle of a session.
