QOS-Output interpretation

Hi

We ahve a 15 MB internet connection used for internet as well as for VPN users. I want to reserve 5 MB for the VPN concentrator so that our site to site VPN / VPN clients get atleast 5 MB.

I have configured a class map statement to match ipsec and PPTP (we have some windows clients). On the policy map, I have defined the class and assigned bandwidth 5000 statement.

I applied the service polciy statement on the serial interface. I have attached the output of my sh interface ser1/0 and sh policy-map int ser1/0.

#sh int ser1/0

Serial1/0 is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is DSXPNM Serial

Internet address is x.x.x.x/30

Can someone explain, why it shows the available bandwidth at 6502 kilobits/sec. I was hoping to see at least 10000 kilobits available.

Thanks

Hi,

the available bandwidth is calculated like this:

AvailBW = (interface bandwidth)*max-reservable-bandwidth - allocatedBW

where max-reservable-bandwidth=0.75 by default and allocatedBW=sum(allocated BW of all classes)

In your case this means:

AvailBW = 15338*0.75 - 5000 = 6503

AvailBW is the bandwidth you could allocate in your service-policy to additional classes or increase bandwidth for existing classes.

Hope this helps!

Regards, Martin

Thanks and that makes sense now.
