LLQ for 871 in PPPoE scenario: how?

ariela
Level 4
Level 4

Hi folks,

I've some troubles using a 871 and LLQ for voice traffic in PPPoE scenario.

In my experience, to activate the LLQ QoS policy in this case I've to use a PPP multilink. But when I try to check the connection, I see a % of packet loss:

May 31 20:15:40.143: Vi2 MLP: Lost fragment 4CE (all links out of sequence), class 0.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!!!!!!!!!!!

Success rate is 96 percent (48/50), round-trip min/avg/max = 16/16/24 ms

c871-TestPPPoE#

May 31 20:15:43.646: Vi2 MLP: Lost fragment 4E9 (all links out of sequence), class 0

My configuration:

871

For QoS point of view, I see that the policy is applied on Dia0, and packets match the policy-map.

The virtual interfaces are:

c871-TestPPPoE#sh user

Line User Host(s) Idle Location

* 0 con 0 admin idle 00:00:00

Interface User Mode Idle Peer Address

Vi1 PPPoE 00:00:00

Vi2 MLP Bundle 00:01:04 yy.110.159.254

On Vi1 no policies are applied, on Vi2 the policy-map is applied but no packets match:

c871-TestPPPoE#sh policy-map interface vi2

Virtual-Access2

Service-policy output: Dial0_Out

Class-map: VoIP (match-any)

0 packets, 0 bytes

5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps

Match: ip dscp ef (46)

0 packets, 0 bytes

<omissis>

Class-map: class-default (match-any)

1135 packets, 133181 bytes

<omissis>

Well, I've found a bug that sounds quite sinister ...

CSCsi76841: PPP Multilink Interleaving is not happening with LLQ configured

same as:

CSCdr60739 "Enabling ppp multilink on dialer makes link unusable"

It seems that Multilink ppp is not supported for PPPoE

In this case, any other solution to queue the voice traffic in the strict priority queue on 871 platform?

I've not experience on this device family, any advice will be appreciated

Thanks for your support

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

why don't you try without multilink and fragmentation? If you uplink speed is 256 or better, you do not need fragmentation, because the serialization delay is not large enough to cause problems.

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Without MLPPP it seems that the policy-map doesn't work ... I've no packets match on dia0 ...

Physically I've a fastethernet (as you can see on my config)

Thanks

Andrea

Hi,

I should have notice this before. Your outgoing interface is FE, hence is never congested.

If you really need to configure LLQ, you need to shape output to same speed as upload speed of your ADSL, this will create the backpressure for priority to work. The service policy is under the physical interface, not dialer. See example:

http://cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk543/tk545/technologies_tech_note09186a00800b2d29.shtml

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

Hi,

the dialer is required from my PPPoE config, and when I try to apply the service policy under the physical interface, it seems that it doesn't work (I've no packets match).

Any advice, for QoS or PPPoE config, will be appreciated.

Regards

Andrea

Hi Andre,

for client pppoe, vpdn is not required.

You should be able to apply the service policy either under dialer0, or physical interface.

If the example I linked does not work, we should contact cisco and have it corrected or removed.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your support!

Just a question: what the difference between vpdn-group and bba-group? And why for client pppoe vpdn is not required?

thanks again

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

some features like vpdn/pppoe where developed for the BRAS (broadband router aggregation services) set of functionality that are used by the ISP, for example vpdn allows one common infrastructure to be shared by multiple ISPs that get the ppp session forwaeded with l2tp.

The configuration for the home/small office access device is much simples and does not need all commands related to the above.
