Hi all,

I am experiencing voice quality issue at one of my remote sites, when I talk to a user at this remote site I notice the call was cuting in and out but the user at the remote does not experience the issue (call quality is fine for user at remote site), so I am pretty confident the packet drops occur at the remote site and I can see packet drops from the priority queue in "show policy-map interface" command outputs. I've checked and double checked my QoS policy and I couldn't see anything wrong with it and I know bandwidth is not a concern, traffic load is pretty light.

anyone has any idea what would cause packet drops from the priority queue ? Could it be code related ?

I have a 3725 router running IOS version 12.3(14)T7 at this remote site with 4 bonded T1s. Below is the show "policy-map interface" outputs. You can see the total drops at the bottom.

sh policy-map interface atm0/ima0.1
