I created the class-maps and policy-maps given below, I them applied them to the interface with the command "service-policy output QoS-Policy-2" . I am trying to create a general prioritisation scheme on the network as we have a mixed bag of traffic types, fairly high utilisation and our VC and telephone traffic is suffering.

Hi, beside that your policy map appears to be an overkill, you should configure the pvc as suggested above. After that you will be able to attach a policy map to it.

I'll confirm both Paolo's posts. Have used service policies within ATM PVC as he describes.

What may not be clear, with what Paolo is suggesting, you also get an implicit shaper, although I believe its FIFO, but that's where the policy comes in.

I also agree with Paolo your policy might me a bit of "overkill", looks like something Enterprise AutoQoS would generate.

If some real-time traffic is the issue, drop it into a LLQ and everything else WFQ.

E.g. (pseudo config)

class-match match-all real-time

match (your real-time traffic - could be nbar protocol, could be dscp, could be acl)

policy-map cbwfq

class real-time

priority percent 30

class class-default

fair-queue

atm #/# point-to-point

ip address ...

pvc #/#

vbr-nrt (pvc's pcr/scr/burst)

service-policy output cbwfq

PS:

BTW: you don't need NBAR protocol-discovery to use NBAR to match; protocol-discovery is used to gather NBAR analysis traffic stats
