smart-aggregation

Configures smart aggregation parameters on this Radio QoS policy. Smart aggregation enhances frame aggregation by dynamically selecting the time when the aggregated frame is transmitted. In a frame‘s typical aggregation, an aggregated frame is sent when:
  • A pre-configured number of aggregated frames is reached

  • An administrator-defined interval has elapsed since the first frame (of a set of frames to be aggregated) was received

  • An administrator-defined interval has elapsed since the last frame (not necessarily the final frame) of a set of frames to be aggregated was received

With this enhancement, an aggregation delay is set uniquely for each traffic class. For example, voice traffic might not be aggregated, but sent immediately. Whereas, background data traffic is set a delay for aggregating frames, and these aggregated frames are sent.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

smart-aggregation {delay|max-mesh-hops|min-aggregation-limit}
smart-aggregation {delay [background|best-effort|streaming-video|video-conferencing|
voice] <0-1000>}
smart-aggregation {max-mesh-hops <1-10>}
smart-aggregation {min-aggregation-limit <0-64>}

Parameters

smart-aggregation {delay [background|best-effort|streaming-video|video-conferencing|
voice] <0-1000>}

delay

Optional. Configures the maximum delay parameter for each traffic type. This is the maximum delay, in milliseconds, in the transmission of the first frame received.

background

Configures the maximum delay parameter, in milliseconds, for background traffic (250 msec)

best-effort

Configures the maximum delay parameter, in milliseconds, for best effort traffic (150 msec)

streaming-video

Configures the maximum delay parameter, in milliseconds, for streaming video traffic (150 msec)

video-conferencing

Configures the maximum delay parameter, in milliseconds, for video conference traffic (40 msec)

voice

Configures the maximum delay parameter, in milliseconds, for voice traffic (0 msec)

<0-1000>

This parameter is common to all of the above traffic types.

  • <0-1000> – Specify a value from 0 - 1000 msec.

smart-aggregation  {max-mesh-hops <1-10>}

max-mesh-hops <1-10>

Optional. Sets the maximum number of expected hops to the destination within a mesh

  • <1-10> – Specify a value from 1 - 10. The default is 3 hops.

smart-aggregation {min-aggregation-limit <0-64>}

min-aggregation-limit <0-64>

Optional. Sets the minimum number of aggregates buffered before an aggregate is sent

  • <0-64> – Specify a value from 0 - 64. The default is 8 frames.
