Provisioning QOS behavior on tunnel endpoints

Abstract:

In general, techniques are described for provisioning Quality of Service (QoS) behavior on tunnel endpoints. For example, a network device operating as a source tunnel endpoint, e.g., a provider edge (PE) device, may encapsulate a QoS behavior that was derived by the PE device upon receiving the packet from a source network (e.g., a customer or tenant network) and send the encapsulated packet through the tunnel across one or more intermediate networks (such as data center networks) to the destination tunnel endpoint such that the destination tunnel endpoint may apply the same QoS behavior derived by the source tunnel endpoint when injecting the original packet into a destination network (e.g., a second network of the customer or tenant) without having to re-derive the QoS behavior from customer/tenant QoS policies for the destination network.
