The VLAN header is placed inside the Ethernet header, between the Source Address field and either the Length field (for an IEEE 802.3 frame) or the EtherType field (for an Ethernet II frame). \subsection intro_wmm Layer 2: WMM At the Network Interface layer for IEEE 802.11 wireless, the Wi-Fi Alliance certification for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) defines four access categories for prioritizing network traffic. These access categories are (in order of highest to lowest priority) voice, video, best-effort, and background. Host support for WMM prioritization requires that both wireless network adapters and their drivers support WMM. Wireless access points (APs) must have WMM enabled. \subsection intro_dscp Layer 3: DSCP At the Internet layer, you can use Differentiated Services/Diffserv and set the value of the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in the IP header. As defined in RFC 2474, the DSCP value is the high-order 6 bits of the IP version 4 (IPv4) TOS field and the IP version 6 (IPv6) Traffic Class field. \subsection intro_other Layer 3: Other Other mechanisms exist (such as RSVP, IntServ) but this will not be implemented. \section availability QoS Availability \subsection linux Linux DSCP is available via IP TOS option. Ethernet 802.1p tagging is done by setting setsockopt(SO_PRIORITY) option of the socket, then with the set_egress_map option of the vconfig utility to convert this to set vlan-qos field of the packet. WMM is not known to be available. \subsection windows Windows and Windows Mobile (It's a mess!) DSCP is settable with setsockopt() on Windows 2000 or older, but Windows would silently ignore this call on WinXP or later, unless administrator modifies the registry. On Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, GQoS (Generic QoS) API is the standard API, but this API may not be supported in the future. On Vista and Windows 7, the is a new QoS2 API, also known as Quality Windows Audio-Video Experience (qWAVE). IEEE 802.1p tagging is available via Traffic Control (TC) API, available on Windows XP SP2, but this needs administrator access. For Vista and later, it's in qWAVE. WMM is available for mobile platforms on Windows Mobile 6 platform and Windows Embedded CE 6, via setsockopt(IP_DSCP_TRAFFIC_TYPE). qWAVE supports this as well. \subsection symbian Symbian S60 3rd Ed Both DSCP and WMM is supported via RSocket::SetOpt() with will set both Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings accordingly. Internally, PJLIB sets the DSCP field of the socket, and based on certain DSCP values mapping, Symbian will set the WMM tag accordingly. \section api PJLIB's QoS API Abstraction Based on the above, the following API is implemented. Declare the following "standard" traffic types. \code typedef enum pj_qos_type { PJ_QOS_TYPE_BEST_EFFORT, PJ_QOS_TYPE_BACKGROUND, PJ_QOS_TYPE_VIDEO, PJ_QOS_TYPE_VOICE, PJ_QOS_TYPE_CONTROL, PJ_QOS_TYPE_SIGNALLING } pj_qos_type; \endcode The traffic classes above will determine how the Layer 2 and 3 QoS settings will be used. The standard mapping between the classes above to the corresponding Layer 2 and 3 settings are as follows: \code ================================================================= PJLIB Traffic Type IP DSCP WMM 802.1p ----------------------------------------------------------------- BEST_EFFORT 0x00 BE (Bulk Effort) 0 BACKGROUND 0x08 BK (Bulk) 2 VIDEO 0x28 VI (Video) 5 VOICE 0x30 VO (Voice) 6 CONTROL 0x38 VO (Voice) 7 SIGNALLING 0x28 VI (Video) 5 ================================================================= \endcode There are two sets of API provided to manipulate the QoS parameters. \subsection portable_api Portable API The first set of API is: \code // Set QoS parameters PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_sock_set_qos_type(pj_sock_t sock, pj_qos_type val); // Get QoS parameters PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_sock_get_qos_type(pj_sock_t sock, pj_qos_type *p_val); \endcode The API will set the traffic type according to the DSCP class, for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings, where it's available. If any of the layer QoS setting is not settable, the API will silently ignore it. If both layers are not setable, the API will return error. The API above is the recommended use of QoS, since it is the most portable across all platforms. \subsection detail_api Fine Grained Control API The second set of API is intended for application that wants to fine tune the QoS parameters. The Layer 2 and 3 QoS parameters are stored in pj_qos_params structure: \code typedef enum pj_qos_flag { PJ_QOS_PARAM_HAS_DSCP = 1, PJ_QOS_PARAM_HAS_SO_PRIO = 2, PJ_QOS_PARAM_HAS_WMM = 4 } pj_qos_flag; typedef enum pj_qos_wmm_prio { PJ_QOS_WMM_PRIO_BULK_EFFORT, PJ_QOS_WMM_PRIO_BULK, PJ_QOS_WMM_PRIO_VIDEO, PJ_QOS_WMM_PRIO_VOICE } pj_qos_wmm_prio; typedef struct pj_qos_params { pj_uint8_t flags; // Determines which values to // set, bitmask of pj_qos_flag pj_uint8_t dscp_val; // The 6 bits DSCP value to set pj_uint8_t so_prio; // SO_PRIORITY value pj_qos_wmm_prio wmm_prio; // WMM priority value } pj_qos_params; \endcode The second set of API with more fine-grained control over the parameters are: \code // Retrieve QoS params for the specified traffic type PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_qos_get_params(pj_qos_type type, pj_qos_params *p); // Set QoS parameters to the socket PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_sock_set_qos_params(pj_sock_t sock, const pj_qos_params *p); // Get QoS parameters from the socket PJ_DECL(pj_status_t) pj_sock_get_qos_params(pj_sock_t sock, pj_qos_params *p); \endcode Important: The pj_sock_set/get_qos_params() APIs are not portable, and it's probably only going to be implemented on Linux. Application should always try to use pj_sock_set_qos_type() instead. */ /** * High level traffic classification. */ typedef enum pj_qos_type { PJ_QOS_TYPE_BEST_EFFORT, /**< Best effort traffic (default value).
