HQoS Configuration Guide

HQoS (Hierarchical Quality of Service) is an advanced traffic management mechanism. By employing multi-level queue scheduling and shaping strategies, it enables granular bandwidth control and priority assurance for complex network traffic. This optimizes bandwidth utilization efficiency and ensures the service quality of critical applications (such as voice, video, etc.).

Traditional QoS technologies typically manage traffic at a single network node or interface. In contrast, HQoS introduces the hierarchical concept, allowing for nested traffic management across multiple dimensions simultaneously (e.g., the overall link, user groups, individual users, and different service types within a user). This makes HQoS particularly well-suited for network environments with diverse application scenarios.

Network requirements

The company's total egress bandwidth is 800 Mbps. Departments A and B under the company are allocated 400 Mbps each. Within Department A, video conferencing traffic requires priority scheduling and is guaranteed 100 Mbps of bandwidth.

Procedure

1.Enable the HQoS function

2.Create users for Department A and Department B

3.Create user groups for both departments and configure rate limiting for each department

4.Configure priority scheduling and bandwidth guarantee for the video conferencing traffic in Department A

5.Create a global HQoS configuration and bind the user groups to it

6.Apply the configuration to the port
