QoS Support Overview

Below config snapshot shows how to configure application filtering in the network slice. Each application filter in the network slice can have action either permit or deny Also each application has QoS rates. QoS rates are part of device groups are per UE limit.

BESS UPF Slice rate Configuration

      upf.jsonc:
        # Default global rate limits. Can be changed at runtime via BESS gRPC.
        slice_rate_limit_config:
          # Uplink
          n6_bps: 1000000000 # 1Gbps
          n6_burst_bytes: 12500000 # 10ms * 1Gbps
          # Downlink
          n3_bps: 1000000000 # 1Gbps
          n3_burst_bytes: 12500000 # 10ms * 1Gbps

Note

TBD : add REST api documentation to change slice QoS rates.
