DESCRIPTION

The New-NetQosPolicy cmdlet creates a new network Quality of Service (QoS) policy. A QoS policy consists of two main parts: match conditions also

known as filters, and actions. Match conditions such as the name by which an application is run in Windows Server???? 2012 and later or a TCP port

number decide to what traffic the policy is relating. Parameters such as DSCPAction and ThrottleRateAction determine how the policy is to handle

the matched traffic. Besides match conditions and actions, there are also some general parameters such as NetworkProfile and Precedence that the

users can customize for a QoS policy.



A list of well-known match conditions, or filters, in the form of parameters is provided: FCoE, Cluster (3343),LiveMigration (6600), iSCSI (3260),

NFS (2049), and SMB (445). Each of them matches a well-known TCP port specified in the brackets. The only exception is FCoE, which matches

EtherType 0x8906. These filters must be used alone for filtering purpose. In other words, they cannot be mixed with other match condition

parameters.



QoS policies can be stored in multiple locations. Users can choose a location by specifying the PolicyStore parameter. If the PolicyStore

parameter is not specified, then the new policy is added to local computer (localhost). If a policy is stored in ActiveStore, then the policy will

not persist after reboot.





PARAMETERS

-AppPathNameMatchCondition <String>

Specifies the name by which an application is run, such as application.exe or %ProgramFiles%\\application.exe.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-AsJob [<SwitchParameter>]

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the

session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell???? background jobs, see about_Jobs.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CimSession <CimSession[]>

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession

or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Cluster [<SwitchParameter>]

-Default [<SwitchParameter>]

Specifies a wildcard filter that can be used to capture all traffic that is not matched by any other filter. One use case is that a user can

create a QoS policy for a specific application using the AppPathNameMatchCondition parameter and create another QoS policy for all other

applications using this parameter. Another use case is that a user can create several QoS policies, each of which specifies a minimum

bandwidth action for the filtered traffic, and create one additional policy using this parameter to assign a minimum bandwidth action for all

other traffic.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false

OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_NetQosPolicySettingData



The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects.

The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.



The MSFT_NetQosPolicySettingData object contains a QoS policy.





EXAMPLE 1



PS C:\\> New-NetQosPolicy ????????Name "SMB Policy" -SMB -PriorityValue8021Action 3

Name : SMB Policy

Owner : Group Policy (Machine)

NetworkProfile : All

Precedence : 127

Template : SMB

PriorityValue : 3



This example creates a QoS policy named SMB Policy, that classifies SMB traffic and tags it with 802.1p priority value of 3. The SMB parameter is

a built-in filter that matches TCP port 445, which is reserved for SMB.

EXAMPLE 2



PS C:\\> New-NetQosPolicy ????????Name "FTP" -AppPathNameMatchCondition ftp.exe -ThrottleRateActionBytesPerSecond 1MB -PolicyStore ActiveStore

Name : FTP

Owner : PowerShell / WMI

NetworkProfile : All

Precedence : 127

AppPathName : ftp.exe

ThrottleRate : 1 MBytes/sec



This example creates a QoS policy named FTP, that matches an application path at ftp.exe and throttles the traffic at 1,000,000 bytes per second.

This policy is ActiveStore, meaning that it is not persistent after reboot of the computer.



An alias for the ThrottleRateActionBytesPerSecond parameter is MaxBw.

EXAMPLE 3



PS C:\\> New-NetQosPolicy ????????Name "Backup" -IPDstPrefixMatchCondition 10.1.1.176/28 -NetworkProfile Domain -DSCPAction 40

Name : Backup

Owner : Group Policy (Machine)

NetworkProfile : Domain

Precedence : 127

IPProtocol : Both

IPDstPrefix : 10.1.1.176/28

DSCPValue : 40



This example creates a QoS policy named Backup, that matches traffic sent to 10.1.1.176/28 subnet and tags it with DSCP value of 40. This policy

is effective only on traffic sent on a domain-joined network adapter.

EXAMPLE 4



PS C:\\> New-NetQosPolicy ????????Name "HTTP" -IPPort 80 -IPProtocol TCP -ThrottleRateActionBytesPerSecond 10MB

Name : HTTP

Owner : Group Policy (Machine)

NetworkProfile : All

Precedence : 127

IPProtocol : TCP

IPPort : 80

ThrottleRate : 10 MBytes/sec



This example creates a QoS policy that matches TCP traffic sent to port 80 and rate-limits it at 10,000,000 bytes per second.

EXAMPLE 5



PS C:\\> New-NetQosPolicy ????????Name "Wildcard" -Default -MinBandwidthWeightAction 30

Name : wildcard

Owner : Group Policy (Machine)

NetworkProfile : All

Precedence : 127

Template : Default

MinBandwidthWeight : 30



This example creates a QoS policy named Wildcard, that catches all the traffic that does not match a specific QoS policy and assigns a minimum

bandwidth weight of 30 to such traffic.

EXAMPLE 6



PS C:\\> New-NetQosPolicy ????????Name "IIS" -URIMatchCondition "http://training" -ThrottleRateActionBytesPerSecond 500KB

Name : IIS

Owner : Group Policy (Machine)

NetworkProfile : Domain

Precedence : 127

URI : http://training/

URIRecursive : False

ThrottleRate : 500 KBytes/sec



This example creates a QoS policy named IIS, that matches return traffic from an HTTP server application with the specified URI and rate limit the

return traffic at 500,000 bytes per second.
