Checking for QoS?

jvweigand

I've been tasked with checking our existing CCM 5.1 system to see if our VAR implemented any type of QoS at all.

I've been going through some packet captures of calls, but I'm not really sure what to look for. I know there's multiple methods and ways to do it, but can anyone give me some pointers on what I can look at to even tell if it's implemented at all, and how?

Thanks in advance!

A few things you can do:

Find out where your WAN circuits are. Don't know? Do a traceroute and telnet to each device, and use show ip route and show run interface to find out. Look for a WAN interface with a policy map. After you find out which interface the packet is going out of on each hop, do a 'show policy-map interface' and see if the selected interface has QoS applied.

Also, IP SLA is your friend. Here's a little bit I configured/tested:

Sending side:

ip sla monitor 3

type jitter dest-ipaddr 172.16.1.2 dest-port 16384 codec g711ulaw codec-numpackets 30

tos 184

frequency 10

ip sla monitor schedule 3 start-time now

ip sla monitor 4

type jitter dest-ipaddr 172.16.35.5 dest-port 16386 codec g711ulaw codec-numpackets 20

tos 184

frequency 5

ip sla monitor schedule 4 start-time now

Receiving side:

ip sla monitor responder

R3#sh ip sla moni stat
