Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM LogToFile services
Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM users can configure services such as VPRN, VPLS, and
customer or subscriber sites to the core network at the SAPs.
A user might also configure a set of policies to manage different classes of traffic at
the SAPs. A SAP can have one policy that is applied for ingress traffic, and another
for egress (to the customer site). Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM has a predefined set of
eight traffic classes:
be
l2
af
l1
h2
ef
h1
nc
In addition, the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM LogToFile supports unicast, multicast,
and broadcast IP traffic.
A user can define a policy to manage each combination of traffic classes and cast
types uniquely. With eight classes and four types, 32 different combinations are
possible. On a SAP, each unique combination is supported by a separate queue,
which means up to 32 queues to be managed. On ingress, the SAPs support
separate queues for the different casts of traffic. However, on egress, the SAPs do
not support separate queues. Therefore, on egress, there is a maximum of eight
queues.
The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM represents these entities in the following objects:
SAPs SAP object represents a SAP. The SAP object has a PolicyId property.
Policies
Policy object represents the policy.
ForwardingClasses
ForwardingClass object represents one of the eight possible classes of
traffic. This object has a PolicyId property that indicates the policy to
which it belongs. If the object is an ingress ForwardingClass, it has four
queue IDs, one each for Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast, and Other. If the
object is an egress ForwardingClass, it has one queue ID.
Service queues
Egress Service Queue object or an Ingress Service Queue object represents a
service queue on a SAP.
