MPLS. The PoS module ports provide MPLS support via a PPP link. The MPLS Control Protocol
(MPLSCP) allows MPLS labeled packets to be transported across a PPP link.
Jumbo Frames. The PoS module ports provide jumbo frame support that is similar to that provided
by Ethernet ports on a BlackDiamond 6800 series switch.
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames that are larger than 1522 bytes, including four bytes used for the
cyclic redundancy check (CRC). Extreme products that use the “i” chipset support switching and
routing of jumbo frames at wire-speed on all ports.
Jumbo frames are used between endstations that support larger frame sizes for more efficient transfers
of bulk data. Both endstations involved in the transfer must be capable of supporting jumbo frames.
QoS and Differentiated Services. The PoS modules support eight ingress queues and eight egress
queues per port. The scheduling parameters for these queues (minimum bandwidth, maximum
bandwidth, priority level, etc.) are controlled by QoS profiles that you can customize for individual
ingress or egress queues on a specific PoS port.
You can assign frames to queues based on IEEE 802.1p priorities, MPLS EXP values, Differentiated
Services Code Points (DSCPs), or by configuring a QoS profile for the port or VLAN. You can tailor the
DSCP-to-queue mapping for ingress or egress directions on a per-port basis. Most of the existing ingress
classification functions, along with the DiffServ replacement functions, are also supported for PoS ports.
The supported DiffServ functions maximize user flexibility while providing all of the features needed to
support the standard per-hop behaviors (PHBs), including:
• Default
• Class Selector
• Assured Forwarding
• Expedited Forwarding
The PoS modules also provide flexible support for the well-known Weighted RED (WRED) congestion
avoidance algorithm.
NetFlow Statistics. Each PoS port can maintain and export statistics for the flows that traverse the
associated SONET link.
Per-flow statistics are useful for many management purposes, including:
• Accounting and billing
