IPQoS Tunable Parameter

_policy_mask

Description

Enables or disables IPQoS processing in any of the following callout positions: forward outbound, forward inbound, local outbound, and local inbound. This parameter is a bitmask as follows:

Not Used
Not Used
Not Used
Not Used
Forward Outbound
Forward Inbound
Local Outbound
Local Inbound
X

0
0
0
0

A 1 in any of the position masks or disables IPQoS processing in that particular callout position. For example, a value of 0x01 disables IPQoS processing for all the local inbound packets.

Default

The default value is 0, meaning that IPQoS processing is enabled in all the callout positions.

Range

0 (0x00) to 15 (0x0F). A value of 15 indicates that IPQoS processing is disabled in all the callout positions.

Dynamic?

Yes

When to Change

If you want to enable or disable IPQoS processing in any of the callout positions.

Commitment Level

Unstable
