WanLink Queue Discipline

1. Go to the WanLinks tab and select Create.
2. Enter the WanLink name, physical ports, base transfer rate, delay, jitter etc...
   These impairments will be applied to all traffic on the WanLink.
3. Select Apply to create the base WanLink.

1. Select All to un-hide the other WanLink config panels.
2. In panel 2, un-check the Kernel-Mode box.
3. Select Apply to change the WanLink.

1. Start the WanLink, then run traffic through LANforge-ICE ports eth2 and eth3.
   Here we are using LANforge-FIRE on a secondary resource to over-subscribe the 100Mbps WanLink with five 30Mbps traffic flows each with a different IP ToS value set to show that the FIFO WanLink ignores the ToS bits by treating all packets equally and processing them in the order they enter the queue.
2. The dropped packet percentages show that even with a high value ToS, no priority is observed.

1. Select the Stop All button to stop all connections, then Modify the WanLink.
2. In panel 4, change the QDisc field to the following string:
   WRR,2000-0-255,4000-64-255,8000-96-255,16000-128-255,32000-192-255 for both Endpoint-A and Endpoint-B.
   The WRR string format is weight-ToS-mask where higher weights are given higher priority to packets matching the ToS and bit mask.
   Note: Minimum weighting should be equal to or greater than your MTU.
3. Select OK to apply changes to the WanLink and close the modify window.

1. Run the WanLink and the same five UDP traffic flows through LANforge-ICE ports eth2 and eth3.
2. This time, the higher valued ToS UDP flows are experiencing less drops due to the WRR priorities setup in the WanLink.
