<h1 class="topictitle1">Scenario: Predictable B2B traffic</h1>
|
|
<div><p>If you need predictable delivery and still need to request a reservation,
|
|
you also use an integrated service policy. This example uses a controlled
|
|
load service.</p>
|
|
<div class="section" id="rzak8example_3__example3situation"><a name="rzak8example_3__example3situation"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectionscenariobar">Situation</h4><p>The
|
|
Sales department reports problems that network traffic is not performing as
|
|
they expected. Your company's iSeries™ server resides in a business-to-business
|
|
(B2B) environment that requires predictable on demand business service. You
|
|
need to provide predictable transactions to your customers. You want to give
|
|
the sales unit a higher quality of service (QoS) for their ordering application
|
|
during the busiest time of the day (between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.).</p>
|
|
<p>In
|
|
the following figure, the sales team is within your private network. There
|
|
are routers, enabled by ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), along the traffic's path
|
|
to the B2B client. Each <samp class="codeph">R</samp> represents a router along the traffic's
|
|
path.</p>
|

</div>

<div class="section" id="rzak8example_3__example3objective"><a name="rzak8example_3__example3objective"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectionscenariobar">Objectives</h4><p>Controlled
|
|
load service supports applications that are highly sensitive to congested
|
|
networks, but are still tolerant to small amounts of loss and delay. If an
|
|
application uses the controlled load service, its performance will not suffer
|
|
as network load increases. Traffic will be provided with service resembling
|
|
normal traffic in a network under light conditions. Because this particular
|
|
application is tolerant to some delay, you decide to use an integrated services
|
|
policy using a controlled load service.</p>
|
|
<p>Integrated service policies
|
|
also require that, along the traffic's path, the routers are RSVP-enabled.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="rzak8example_3__example3prereq"><a name="rzak8example_3__example3prereq"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectionscenariobar">Prerequisites
|
|
and assumptions</h4><p>An integrated service policy is an advanced policy
|
|
that can require substantial resource. Integrated service policies require
|
|
the following prerequisites:</p>
|
|
<ul><li><span class="uicontrol">RSVP-enabled applications</span> <p>Because your server
|
|
does not have any RSVP-enabled applications, you must write your own RSVP-enabled
|
|
applications. To write your own applications, use the RSVP API, qtoq QoS socket
|
|
APIs, or integrated service APIs.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">RSVP-enabled routers and servers along the network path</span> <p>QoS
|
|
is a network solution. If you are unsure if the entire network has RSVP capabilities,
|
|
you can still create an integrated service policy and use a marking to give
|
|
it some priority; however, priority cannot be guaranteed.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">Service-level agreement</span> <p>You have a service-level
|
|
agreement (SLA) with your ISP to ensure that the policies receive the requested
|
|
priority. The QoS policy you create on the iSeries server enables traffic (in the
|
|
policy) to receive priority throughout the network. The QoS policy does not
|
|
guarantee the priority and is dependent on your SLA. In fact, taking advantage
|
|
of QoS policies can give you some leverage to negotiate certain service-levels
|
|
and rates. Use the service-level agreement link to find out more.</p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If
|
|
you are within a private network, an SLA is not required.</div>

you verify the prerequisites steps, you are ready to create the integrated
