=== QoS policy Classification Hierarchy ===
 +
 +
To get the QoS queue for a particular flow, PA will export the hierarchy of the class that the flow matched on. This hierarchy will be exported in the flow record as a list of IDs: {Policy ID, Class ID 1, Class ID 2, Class ID 3, Class ID 4, Class ID 5}. Each of these IDs is a 4-byte integer representing a C3PL policy-map or class-map, with any missing or unnecessary fields being 0. Total length of the field is 24 bytes. The ID to name mapping will be exported as an option template under a flow exporter.
 +
 +
FNF export ID 41000 would be used for this metric. It is supported by netflow-v9 as well as IPFIX. Here is the CLI:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
flow record type mace <pa-record>
 +
collect policy qos classification hierarchy
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Class hierarchy will be collected in configurations where PA and QoS are applied on the same L3 interface or in configurations where PA is applied on a dialer interface.
 +
 +
Example:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
class-map match-all C1
 +
match any
 +
class-map match-all C11
 +
match ip dscp ef
 +
class-map match-all C12
 +
match ip dscp cs2
 +
!
 +
policy-map Child-P11
 +
class child-class-C11
 +
bandwidth remaining percent 10
 +
class child-class-C12
 +
bandwidth remaining percent 70
 +
class class-default
 +
bandwidth remaining percent 20
 +
!
 +
policy-map Parent-P1
 +
class child-class-C1
 +
  shaping average 16000000
 +
  service-policy Child-P11
 +
!
 +
interface e0/0
 +
service-policy out Parent-P1
 +
!
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
PA will export the QoS class hierarchy information as follows:
 +
 +
{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="2" style="color:black; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left;"
 +
|-
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Flow-ID'''
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Class Hierarchy (41000)'''
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Queue id (42128)'''
 +
|-
 +
| Flow-1
 +
| P1, C1, C11, 0, 0, 0
 +
| 1
 +
|-
 +
| Flow-2
 +
| P1, C1, C11, 0, 0, 0
 +
| 1
 +
|-
 +
| Flow-3
 +
| P1, C1, C12, 0, 0, 0
 +
| 2
 +
|}
 +
 +
<br>
 +
 +
Two option templates would be used to export the class and policy information. One template would be for class-id and class-name mapping, a second one is for policy-id/policy-name mapping..The sample CLI is as follows:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
flow exporter <my-exporter>
 +
option c3pl-class-table
 +
option c3pl-policy-table
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
The following command can be used in exec mode to display the option tables exported to the collector for class and policy mapping:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
show flow exporter <my-exporter> templates
 +
</pre>
 +
 +

=== QoS Queue drops ===
 +
 +
The queue statistics that are exported will be the drops seen due to the queuing action configured under a class-map. These drops will be collected per export interval from the queuing feature and will be exported in a separate option template table. This option template table will identify the drops seen for a particular queue id, and the flow record will identify the id of the queue that a flow was queued in. As we’re exporting the drops at a queue level, the drops seen under a queue will be a summation of the drops experienced by multiple flows that matched on the same class-map hierarchy.
 +
 +
FNF export ID 42129 would be used for this metric. It is supported by netflow-v9 as well as IPFIX. Here is the CLI:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
flow record type mace <pa-record>
 +
collect policy qos queue drops
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
As a result of above command, two sets of export will happen.
 +
 +
* The first one is the data that is exported as part of each flow entry. In addition to all other metrics, queue-id and timestamp will be exported per flow entry.
 +
 +
Here is the example:
 +
 +
{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="2" style="color:black; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left;"
 +
|-
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Flow-ID'''
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Queue id (42128)'''
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Timestamp (65501)'''
 +
|-
 +
| Flow-1
 +
| 1
 +
| 50000
 +
|-
 +
| Flow-2
 +
| 2
 +
| 50000
 +
|}
 +
 +
<br>
 +
 +
* The second part is the data which is exported as part of option template. It is exported once when the PA timer expires. Queue-id, timestamp and queue-drops are included in the template. Here is the example:
 +
 +
{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="2" style="color:black; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left;"
 +
|-
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Queue-id (42128)'''
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Timestamp (65501)'''
 +
| style="color:black; background-color:#ffffcc;" | '''Packet Drops (42129)'''
 +
|-
 +
| 1
 +
| 50000
 +
| 100
 +
|-
 +
| 2
 +
| 50000
 +
| 20
 +
|}
 +
 +
From the above two tables, user can match queue-id and timestamp and figure out the queue-drops from the queue to which a particular FLOW belongs to.
 +
 +
In configurations where there are no explicit queues specified under a class-map, the drop count collected for this class-map will be the drop count from the default queue. This behavior follows the QoS behavior of directing flows without a queuing action to the default queue. As such, if there are multiple classes without a queuing action, flows that match any of these class-maps will all see the same drop count (drops seen in the default queue).
 +
 +
The following command can be used in exec mode to check PA templates exported and especially the template for MACE (IPv4 and.or IPv6) and Queue Flow:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
# show flow exporter <my-exporter> templates
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
<br>
 +
 +
'''Example:'''
 +
 +
Please note that the export protocol is IPFIX in the example below. And there is a difference between NFv9 and IPFIX IDs.
 +
 +
* IPFIX fields consist of an E (Enterprise) bit, followed by a 15-bit ID.
 +
If topmost bit = "E" then the Field Id is enterprise-specific versus IANA standard.
 +
 +
* FNF treats this as a single 16-bit field ID.
 +
 +
policy qos classification hierarchy = IPFIX 8232 + Enterprise ID 9
 +
In NFv9, it would be 0x8000 (32768) + 8232 = 41000
 +
 +
Although it looks different, it is exactly the same value.

Application Response Time (ART)

On ISR-G2, ART engine is available with Performance Agent (aka MACE). On ASR1k, ART engine is brought into Metric Mediation Agent (MMA) under performance-monitoring CLI.


Application Name

NBAR Application name provides the information regarding the L7 level information for a particular flow, e.g HTTP, FTP, SIP etc.. There is an ID exported by ART, which explains which application this flow belongs to. The Application-ID is divided into two parts: Engine-ID:Classification-id.

First 8 bits provides the information about engine, which classified this flow. For example: IANA-L4, CANA-L3 etc. The rest of the 24 bits provides information about the application, for example 80 (HTTP) etc. The CLI for this field is: 

flow record type mace <pa-record>
 collect application name


It is exported against FNF field ID 95. It is supported in both the export formats i.e. netflow-v9 and IPFIX. With this CLI, only the application ID would be exported. The application-id would be a number which may not be understood by collector. To resolve this issue, there is an option to export the mapping table between the application ID and the application name. This option is configurable under flow exporter command. Here is the cli: 

flow exporter <my-exporter>
 option application-table


If you want to get more information regarding the various attributes of a particular application, you can configure the following option under the flow exporter: 

flow exporter <my-exporter>
 option application-attribute


The option command results in periodic export of Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) application attributes to the collector. The following application attributes are sent to the collector per protocol:

Attribute Description
Category Provides first-level categorization for each application.
Sub-Category Provides second-level categorization for each application.
Application-Group Groups applications that belong to the same networking application.
P2P-Technology Specifies whether the application is based on peer-to-peer technology or not.
Tunnel-Technology Specifies whether the application tunnels the traffic of other protocols or not.
Encrypted Specifies whether the application is an encrypted networking protocol or not.

PA Metrics

PA provides the basic metrics for both TCP and UDP protocols and for both IPv4 and IPv6. Some of the metrics are dynamically exported in the form of the delta value for the interval. These include the client/server bytes and packets metrics. In addition, PA server/client bytes/packets metrics are for layer-3 measurements and in a TCP flow are counted up to the second FIN. The rest of the metrics are relatively static and remain the same across different export intervals.

PA keeps exporting the measurements as long as the flow stays active. As a consequence, the collector might occasionally observe zero values for dynamic metrics such as the client/server bytes/packets. For all the UDP flows, the TCP related metrics such as ART metrics would be zero. Another note for the Input/Output interface metrics is that these are corresponding to the interface from which the flow enters/leaves the box.

All the PA metrics can be exported either through Netflow v9 or IPFIX protocol. PA metrics are summarized below.


Field Name Export ID CLI Description
Application ID 95 collect application name exports application ID field (coming from NBAR2) to reporting tool.
Client Bytes 1 collect counter client bytes Total bytes sent by initiator of the connection. Counted up to the second FIN if for a TCP flow.
Client Packets 2 collect counter client packets Total packets sent by initiator of the connection. Counted up to the second FIN if for a TCP flow.
Interface Input 10 collect interface input Interface name from which flow is entering the box.
Interface Output 14 collect interface output Interface name from which flow is exiting out the box.
Server Bytes 23 collect counter server bytes Total bytes sent by responder of the connection. Counted up to the second FIN if for a TCP flow.
Server Packets 24 collect counter server packets Total packets sent by responder of the connection. Counted up to the second FIN if for a TCP flow.

Top Domain, URL Hit Count Report

Supported on ISR-G2 with Performance Agent, starting from IOS 15.2(4)M2. The list of new NBAR related fields are:

  • HTTP Host
  • URI and URI Statistics

If the user configures one or more of the above fields, PA control plane will explicitly activate NBAR. The HTTP fields can be only exported through IPFIX protocol (NetFlow version9 doesn't support variable field length).

Field Name Export ID CLI Description
application http host
  • 45003
  • collect application http host
Host name
application http uri statistics
  • 42125
  • collect application http uri statistics
URI Statistics
art count new connections
  • 42050
  • collect art count new connections
Number of TCP sessions established (3-way handshake). It is also called Number of connections (sessions).


Host

HTTP Host field is exported with Netflow export id 45003. It would be encoded as: 

0                   31 32                47 48
+---------------------+--------------------+----------------
| NBAR Application ID | Sub-Application ID | Value (host)
+---------------------+--------------------+----------------

Collectors will be able to identify the extracted field name and type based on the application ID and sub-application ID that are embedded in it.

  • For HTTP Host, the application-id is generally 0x03000050 (see previous chapter on application ID to know how to get this value). The first byte (03) specifies engine-id (i.e. IANA-L4), next 3 bytes (000050) are for selector-id (i.e. decimal 80 for HTTP).
  • Sub- application-id for host is 0x0002. From show ip nbar parameters extraction and sub-application-table option template. Only take the last two bytes, 0x3402 = HTTP Host
  • Value is the host string.

PA exports one host-name for each L7 flow. The CLI for host name is: 

flow record type mace <pa-record>
 collect application http host


URI and Count

PA will collect and export URI and hit-count in the format “uri:count::uri:count.....”. The delimiters colon (:) and double colon (::) are written here just for the demonstration of the format. The actual delimiter would be NULL (\0). URI and count is always represented in binary format using fixed length 2bytes. The collector has to parse the URI by parsing on the basis of delimiters i.e. NULL (\0). URI count is read as a 2byte binary number and there is no '\0' delimiter after the count. A special PA specific FNF export field (42125) would be used to export the list of URIs and the corresponding hit-counts. The encoding would be done as follows: 

{URI\0countURI\0count}

Please note that the URI being collected and exported is limited to the first ‘/’. For example, if the URL is http://www.cisco.com/router/isr/g2, the URI collected is ‘router’. Example: The following flows are collected on the router: 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.2.2, destination port 80, protocol TCP www.cisco.com/US - 2 flows www.cisco.com/WORLD - 1 flow

The data would then be exported as: [10.1.1.1, 10.2.2.2, 80, TCP, www.cisco.com, US\02WORLD\01]


The CLI to collect uri and its hit-count (statistics) is: 

flow record type mace <pa-record>
 collect application http uri statistics


QoS Class-ID, Queue Drops and Queue Hierarchy

Supported on ISR-G2 with Performance Agent, starting from IOS 15.2(4)M2. The list of new QoS related fields are:

  • The QoS classification hierarchy
  • The QoS queue drops


Field Name Export ID CLI Description
QoS Policy Classification Hierarchy
  • 41000
  • collect policy qos classification hierarchy
Report application class of service hierarchy
QoS Queue Index
  • 41128
  • collect policy qos classification hierarchy
Report Queue Index
QoS Queue Drops
  • 42129
  • collect policy qos queue drops
Number of drops in the queue
Timestamp absolute monitoring- interval
  • 65501
  • No CLI is needed.
Timestamp when monitoring interval expires. Added automatically with ‘collect policy qos queue drops'


QoS policy Classification Hierarchy

To get the QoS queue for a particular flow, PA will export the hierarchy of the class that the flow matched on. This hierarchy will be exported in the flow record as a list of IDs: {Policy ID, Class ID 1, Class ID 2, Class ID 3, Class ID 4, Class ID 5}. Each of these IDs is a 4-byte integer representing a C3PL policy-map or class-map, with any missing or unnecessary fields being 0. Total length of the field is 24 bytes. The ID to name mapping will be exported as an option template under a flow exporter.

FNF export ID 41000 would be used for this metric. It is supported by netflow-v9 as well as IPFIX. Here is the CLI: 

flow record type mace <pa-record>
 collect policy qos classification hierarchy

Class hierarchy will be collected in configurations where PA and QoS are applied on the same L3 interface or in configurations where PA is applied on a dialer interface.

Example: 

class-map match-all C1
 match any
class-map match-all C11
 match ip dscp ef
class-map match-all C12
 match ip dscp cs2
! 
policy-map Child-P11
class child-class-C11
 bandwidth remaining percent 10
class child-class-C12
 bandwidth remaining percent 70
class class-default
 bandwidth remaining percent 20
!
policy-map Parent-P1
 class child-class-C1
  shaping average 16000000
  service-policy Child-P11
!
interface e0/0
 service-policy out Parent-P1
!

PA will export the QoS class hierarchy information as follows:

Flow-ID Class Hierarchy (41000) Queue id (42128)
Flow-1 P1, C1, C11, 0, 0, 0 1
Flow-2 P1, C1, C11, 0, 0, 0 1
Flow-3 P1, C1, C12, 0, 0, 0 2


Two option templates would be used to export the class and policy information. One template would be for class-id and class-name mapping, a second one is for policy-id/policy-name mapping..The sample CLI is as follows: 

flow exporter <my-exporter>
 option c3pl-class-table
 option c3pl-policy-table

The following command can be used in exec mode to display the option tables exported to the collector for class and policy mapping: 

show flow exporter <my-exporter> templates

QoS Queue drops

The queue statistics that are exported will be the drops seen due to the queuing action configured under a class-map. These drops will be collected per export interval from the queuing feature and will be exported in a separate option template table. This option template table will identify the drops seen for a particular queue id, and the flow record will identify the id of the queue that a flow was queued in. As we’re exporting the drops at a queue level, the drops seen under a queue will be a summation of the drops experienced by multiple flows that matched on the same class-map hierarchy.

FNF export ID 42129 would be used for this metric. It is supported by netflow-v9 as well as IPFIX. Here is the CLI: 

flow record type mace <pa-record>
 collect policy qos queue drops

As a result of above command, two sets of export will happen.

  • The first one is the data that is exported as part of each flow entry. In addition to all other metrics, queue-id and timestamp will be exported per flow entry.

Here is the example:

Flow-ID Queue id (42128) Timestamp (65501)
Flow-1 1 50000
Flow-2 2 50000


  • The second part is the data which is exported as part of option template. It is exported once when the PA timer expires. Queue-id, timestamp and queue-drops are included in the template. Here is the example:
Queue-id (42128) Timestamp (65501) Packet Drops (42129)
1 50000 100
2 50000 20

From the above two tables, user can match queue-id and timestamp and figure out the queue-drops from the queue to which a particular FLOW belongs to.

In configurations where there are no explicit queues specified under a class-map, the drop count collected for this class-map will be the drop count from the default queue. This behavior follows the QoS behavior of directing flows without a queuing action to the default queue. As such, if there are multiple classes without a queuing action, flows that match any of these class-maps will all see the same drop count (drops seen in the default queue).

The following command can be used in exec mode to check PA templates exported and especially the template for MACE (IPv4 and.or IPv6) and Queue Flow: 

# show flow exporter <my-exporter> templates


Example:

Please note that the export protocol is IPFIX in the example below. And there is a difference between NFv9 and IPFIX IDs.

  • IPFIX fields consist of an E (Enterprise) bit, followed by a 15-bit ID.

If topmost bit = "E" then the Field Id is enterprise-specific versus IANA standard.

  • FNF treats this as a single 16-bit field ID.

policy qos classification hierarchy = IPFIX 8232 + Enterprise ID 9 In NFv9, it would be 0x8000 (32768) + 8232 = 41000

Although it looks different, it is exactly the same value.
