Configuring transmit prioritization

Last Updated : Apr 15, 2016 |

About this task

When Avaya Aura® MS is installed on a Linux® system, you can control the output priority of signaling and media packets relative to other traffic by configuring Transmit Prioritization settings. These settings configure the operating system to transmit delay sensitive media packets ahead of delay tolerant traffic, such as FTP, HTTP, and SSH. Proper Transmit Prioritization helps guarantee Avaya Aura® MS can provide the required bit rate, delay, jitter, and packet loss for media sessions.

Note:

If you observe the Transmit Prioritization Configuration Error alarm, then consult with Avaya support engineers before the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to EM > System Configuration > Network Settings > General Settings > Transmit Prioritization.
  2. Select Transmit Prioritization Enable.
  3. (Optional) Specify a class identifier in the Root Traffic Control class ID field. Alter this value to resolve Transmit Prioritization conflicts encountered with other software installed on the server.
  4. (Optional) Specify a class identifier in the High-priority Traffic Control class ID field. Alter this value to resolve Transmit Prioritization conflicts encountered with other software installed on the server.
  5. (Optional) Select Enable Alarm Suppression for Transmit Prioritization Conflicts to prevent the system from generating alarm notifications when Transmit Prioritization conflicts are encountered with other software installed on the server.

    Select Enable Alarm Suppression for Transmit Prioritization Conflicts only when conflicts are handled in a way other than changing the Root Traffic Control class ID or High-priority Traffic Control class ID fields.

  6. Click Save.
