This file has *all* the possible keywords.
The administrator really doesn't have to use them all.
For instance, there are three different ways to define port groups:
- by guid list
- by node type
- by port names
You could stick with the guids only - this gives you all the
functionality
you need, but by doing so you loose some flexibility.
Beyond referring to port GUIDs, I'm also referring to items like:
sl: 0
mtu-limit: 1
rate-limit: 1
packet-life: 12
path-bits: 2,4,8-32
vlarb-high: 0:255,1:127,2:63,3:31,4:15,5:7,6:3,7:1
vlarb-low: 8:255,9:127,10:63,11:31,12:15,13:7,14:3
vl-high-limit: 10
sl2vl-table: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,7
sl2vl-table: 0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0
sl: 0
mtu-limit: 1
rate-limit: 1
packet-life: 12
path-bits: 2,4,8-32
This is really low level data, akin to the administrator manually
programming the switch tables. My take is that we should drop tons of
this flexibility in favor of something much simpler for the administrator.
But again, the administrator doesn't *have* to use all these.
He can simply define sl2vl-tables, and then match service-id
(in qos-match-rules) to a certain sl (in qos-levels).
That's it.
No MTU, rate, packet lifetime or any other low level data.
Does the following file look better?
