QOS - using Max-Reserved-Bandwidth command

rll3

Level 1

Hi, I'm interested in how folks implement max-reserved-bandwidth with their qos(strict priority/CBWFQ/etc.)

any help is appreciated

Yes, default class should be working.

On many Cisco routers, bandwidth in the default class configures a FIFO queue. Without it, normal default is flow based fair-queue. Also on most routers, default class flow queues compete for bandwidth with defined classes. However, the LLQ, when there's congestion, preempts all the other queues (up to its defined cap).

Hi,

The sum of all bandwidth allocation on an interface should not exceed 75 percent of the available bandwidth on an interface. The remaining 25 percent of bandwidth is used for overhead, including Layer 2 overhead, control traffic, and best-effort traffic, so If you need to allocate more than 75 percent for CBWFQ and IP RTP Priority, you can use the this command,

here is an example, below we have 3 different classes (HTTP/FTP/ICMP)in addition to the default class, i will allocate 500k for each class and only 44k for the default class,

since CBWFQ can not allocate more than 75% of the interface bandwidth the above bandwidth allocation doesn't comply with default bandwidth of serial interfaces which is 1544 (1544x25/100=386 so 1544-386=1158) so 1158 is the maximum available bandwidth for allocation on this interface, so the router will never accept policy-map with bandwidth over than 1158 unless we use max-reserved-bandwidth command.

Thanks for the the information. My concern is with how I need to implement the command. I have a config similar to :

does the max-reserved-bandwidth give more bandwidth to the default class?

By default free or unallocated bandwidth available for overhead and best-effort traffic which is handled by the default-class (class-default) so Yes if you use this command the reset of bandwidth will increased and so class-default will use more bandwidth.

okay, that's great...

Now, as noted above in the sh class-map command there is no bandwidth assigned to the default class. Does this mean that the default class is working or not?

Yes, default class should be working.

On many Cisco routers, bandwidth in the default class configures a FIFO queue. Without it, normal default is flow based fair-queue. Also on most routers, default class flow queues compete for bandwidth with defined classes. However, the LLQ, when there's congestion, preempts all the other queues (up to its defined cap).
