PfRv3 Zero SLA Support

The Performance Routing v3 (PfRv3) Zero SLA Support feature enables users to reduce probing frequency on various ISP links, such as 3G, 4G, and LTE. When the Zero SLA (0-SLA) feature is configured on an ISP link, only the channel with the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value 0 is probed. For all other DSCPs, channels are created only if there is traffic, but no probing is performed.

Feature Information for PfRv3 Zero SLA Support

The following table provides release information about the feature or features described in this module. This table lists only the software release that introduced support for a given feature in a given software release train. Unless noted otherwise, subsequent releases of that software release train also support that feature.

Information About PfRv3 Zero SLA Support

Information About Zero SLA

The Zero SLA (0-SLA) feature enables users to reduce probing frequency in their network infrastructure. Reduction in probing process helps in reducing cost especially when ISPs charge based on traffic, and helps in optimizing network performance when ISPs provide limited bandwidth. When this feature is configured, probe is sent only on the DSCP-0 channel. For all other DSCPs, channels are created if there is traffic, but no probing is performed. The reachability of other channels is learnt from the DSCP-0 channel that is available at the same branch site.

Figure 1. Probing on Zero SLA

In the above illustration, the branch and hub sites are connected with red and blue ISP links. On the red ISP link, Zero SLA is configured at the hub site. Traffic exists on DSCP-0, DSCP AF31, and DSCP-EF channels on both ISP links, but on the red link probing is sent only on the DSCP-0 channel. A probe sent during the WAN discovery signals if a link is a Zero SLA link or a normal link.

Information About Path of Last Resort

A Path of Last Resort is a route used by the device when a service provider cannot be reached or the exits are out of bandwidth. This feature is supported for 3G and 4G metered links. When the service provider is not available, the traffic is routed to the path of last resort if you have specified the path of last resort keyword in the domain path command. When the exits are up with optimum bandwidth, the links are transitioned back. The following are the different supported modes:

  • Standby mode—No traffic classes are routed over the path of last resort service provider.

  • Active mode—Traffic classes are routed over the path of last resort service provider.

  • Disabled mode—The path of last resort is not enabled for the interface.

The path of last resort routes are muted when it is in standby mode. The smart probe frequency is reduced to 1 packet every 10 seconds from 20 packets per second.

Compatibility Matrix for Zero SLA Support

In Performance Routing v3, capability negation happens through service advertisement framework (SAF) messages. When the PfR v3 domain comes up, it registers itself to the SAF to publish the compatibility and support for different release versions.

Use the show domain default master site-capability command to view the release version and the capability negation between hub and branch sites.

The following table shows the devices with various Cisco IOS/XE release versions and its support for Zero SLA within a single branch.

Configuration Examples for PfRv3 Zero SLA Support

Example: Configuring PfRv3 Zero SLA Support

Let us consider a use case scenario, where the service provider of a large enterprise network wants to reduce the probing frequency on all its channels. To reduce probing, Zero-SLA is configured on the ISP link from BR1.

Note

In the following example, only the hub master controller, BR1 (border router 1), R10 and R11 (branch border router) configurations are described.

Figure 2. PfRv3 Topology
In this example, the following routers are used:

  • Hub Master Controller — Cisco ASR 1002-X router configured with an embedded services processor (ESP) default bandwidth of 5 Gbps upgradable with software licensing options to 10 Gbps, 20 Gbps, and 36 Gbps.

  • Hub Border Routers — Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor 2

  • Branch Routers — Cisco 4451X Integrated Services Router.

Verifying PfRv3 Zero-SLA Configurations

To verify the PfRv3 Zero-SLA configuration, use the following show commands in any order:

  • show domain domain-name master status

  • show domain domain-name border status

  • show domain domain-name master channel

  • show domain domain-name border channel

  • show domain domain-name master site-capability
