Scenario details: Creating the integrated service policy

This topic contains information about creating the integrated service policy on the system.

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your system > Network > IP Policies.

2. Right-click Quality of Service and select Configuration to open the quality of service (QoS) Server Configuration window.

3. On the QoS Server Configuration window, right-click the IntServ policy type and select New Policy to open the wizard.

4. Read the Welcome page and click Next to go to the Name page.

5. In the Name field, enter B2B_CL and click Next. Optionally, you can enter a description to help you remember the intent of this policy.

6. On the Clients page, select Specific address or addresses and click New to define your client.

7. On the New Client window, enter the following information:

   • Name: CL_client

   • IP address: 10.1.1.1

   • Click OK to create the client and return to the policy wizard.
   After you click OK, you return to the policy wizard. If you have previous clients created, clear them and verify that only relevant clients are selected.

8. On the New Application window, enter the following information and click OK to return to the wizard:

   • Name: business_app

   • Port range: 7000-8000

9. On the Applications page, select Protocol and verify that TCP is selected. Click Next.

   The application you select for an integrated service policy must be written to use the Resource Reservation Setup Protocol (RAPI) API or the qtoq sockets APIs. Along with the ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), these APIs perform the integrated service reservation through the network. If you do not use these APIs, the application will not receive any priority or guarantee. It is also important to note that this policy enables your applications to receive priority through a network, but cannot guarantee it. All routers and systems along the traffic's path must also use the RSVP to guarantee a reservation. An end-to-end reservation is dependent on participation throughout the network.

10. On the Local IP address page, accept the default value and click Next.

11. On the Integrated Services Type page, select Controlled load and click Next.

12. On the Integrated Services Marking page, select No, do not assign a per-hop behavior and click Next.

13. On the Integrated Services Performance Limits page, enter the following information and click Next:

    • Maximum number of flows: 5

    • Token rate limit (R): Do not limit

    • Token bucket size: 100 Kilobits

    • Token rate limit (R): 25 Megabits per second

14. On the Schedule page, select Active during selected schedule and click New.

15. On the New Schedule page, enter the following information and click OK:

    • Name: primetime

    • Time of day: Active at the specific times and add 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m..

    • Day of week: Active on the specific days and select Monday through Friday.

16. On the Schedules page, click Next.

17. Review the summary information. If accurate, click Finish to create the policy. The main QoS interface lists all the policies that are created on the system. After you complete the wizard, the policy is listed in the right pane.
