we are trying to implement QoS for application on LTM, how can this be done on LTM 11.4.1? Thx

You can create bandwidth control policy and apply to VS. http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-implementations-11-4-0/9.html

what about if I want to marking an application? for example www.example.com af21? Thx again.

This can be configured under Acceleration ›› Bandwidth Controllers ›› myBWC >> Dynamic Properties(Enable) >> IP Marking (DSCP & ECN)(Specify)

Thx, so created "myBWC" in IP Marking (DSCP & ECN) change to AF21, and apply "myBWC to virtual server. is that all I need or do I need to use iRule as well. when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { if { [IP::tos] == 72 } { pool example_80

  You can create tcp profile and specify there IP ToS or Link QOS setting. Than set this profile to your virtual server -Protocol Profile (Client) and / or Protocol Profile (Server) options. IP ToS is used for layer 3 marking. Link QOS is used for layer 2 marking. Since you want to mark using DSCP you need to use IP ToS = 72. Which is equivalent of dscp af21.

The irule mentioned is to select the pool based on incoming packet DSCP. What is the requirement on QoS?

  Marking specific applications for af21, and another for af41 and af43. how do I do That. Thank you in advanced.

Try using iRule;

To set QoS af41 towards the client

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { IP::tos 72 }

To set QoS af41 towards the server

when SERVER_CONNECTED { IP::tos 72 }

do I need to modify pool ? or irule alone will set the marking for Af21?

IP ToS to Client IP ToS to Server

No need to modify the pool if irule used, which gives the flexibility to apply qos based on traffic coming in.
