QoS Metering

Recommendations

Metering is fully supported, although it is recommended that changes to metering be avoided unless necessary to meet a specific need. Metering can sometimes lead to counter-intuitive behavior, such as unexpected limitations in network performance.

Description

Aether Supports three levels of QoS metering:

  • Per-Device-Per-Application. These meters apply to specific flows between devices and applications. As a device may connect to many applications, it may have many flows, and therefore many different meters may be specified. These meters are configured in the Application page of the GUI.

  • Per-Device. These meters apply to the aggregate of all flows from a device, regardless of the application the device is connecting to. These meters are configured in the Device-Group page of the GUI.

  • Per-Slice. These meters apply to the aggregate of all flows from all devices to all applications within the slice. These meters are configured in the Slice page of the GUI.

These three levels of metering are depicted below:
