Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service

The Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service (QoS) feature allows you to apply an aggregate egress-queuing
policy-map on a port-channel main interface or subinterface. This feature enables QoS support on the
aggregate port-channel main interface for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

Restrictions for Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service

• The configuration of QoS on Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC) with an aggregate port-channel interface
is not supported.
• Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) and IP over Ethernet (IPoE) sessions in the context of
the Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) and Intelligent Wireless Access Gateway (iWAG) (with or
without QoS) across an aggregate port-channel interface is not supported.
• Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) with QoS on an aggregate port-channel interface is not supported.
• Xconnect with QoS on an aggregate port-channel interface is not supported.
• The use of fragment and service-fragment Modular QoS CLI (MQC) keywords in conjunction with the
aggregate port-channel interface type is not supported.
• The aggregate-type port-channel interfaces have the following limitations:

Information About Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service

◦All the member links of a port channel must be of the same speed. This prevents a potential packet
reordering issue. It is not supported to combine Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Ethernet interfaces
into the same port channel.
◦10-Gigabit Ethernet is supported in Cisco IOS XE 3.16.3 or later (it is not supported in Cisco IOS
XE 3.17). 10-Gigabit Ethernet is also supported in Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3 and later.

• MPOL policy applied on both aggregate port-channel main interface and port-channel sub-interface is
not supported by any Cisco IOS XE 3S release and is not supported on Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.x or
earlier.
• QoS on an aggregate port-channel subinterface is not supported for Cisco IOS XE 3.16.2 or earlier (and
it is also not supported in Cisco IOS XE 3.17).

Information About Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service

Supported Features for Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service
The Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service feature supports:
• Flow-based load balancing
• Up to three levels of hierarchy
• Configuration of shaping, absolute bandwidth, and relative bandwidth
• A minimum amount of bandwidth for subclasses (VLANs)
• Input QoS (policing and marking) and output QoS (all queuing features) that are enabled simultaneously
on an aggregate port-channel main interface and subinterface

Unsupported Feature Combinations for Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of

Service
The following combinations of tunnel-type interfaces with QoS are not supported:
• Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels with queuing policy-maps applied, which egress via a
port channel with aggregate queuing
• Static virtual tunnel interface (SVTI) and dynamic virtual tunnel interface (DVTI ) with queuing QoS
applied, which egress via a port channel with aggregate queuing
• Sub-interface belongs to service group and sub-interface applied with service-policy cannot be configured
on the same aggregate port-channel simultaneously
• MPOL - policy applied on both aggregate port-channel main interface and port-channel sub-interface

Scalability for Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service

Note Tunnels without queuing QoS (described above) are supported, but are not recommended because hashing
algorithms may overload a given physical interface without adequate diversity in IP addresses.

Scalability for Aggregate EtherChannel Quality of Service

The QoS policy can be applied to an aggregate port-channel interface subject to the following scalability
limits:
• Up to 8 port channels
• Up to 4 member links in a port channel
• Member links can be split across multiple shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface processor
(SIP) cards
