QoS for PCoIP, does this look right?

Hi, I am configuring a switch for our infrastructure to replace an older switch with no QoS capabilities. We are running VMware View, using the PCoIP protocol which runs on port 4172 (TCP and UDP). I would like to ensure that this traffic is prioritized at the highest level at all times above all other traffic. Can anyone have a look at this config file for the switch I'm planning to implement and tell me if this looks correct?

 

Thanks.

 

See below, I've pasted the config, and removed everything except the QoS stuff. By the way, this is a 2910al-48G switch.

Re: QoS for PCoIP, does this look right?

That should work fine, but you shouldn't need to have...

 

qos type-of-service diff-services 100010 dscp 100010

 

This is just re-assigning one DSCP codepoint to another, so with your config you are just re-assigning 100010 to 100010, thus probably adding a unnessary overhead on your CPU.
