QoS Policy based on defined bandwidth

dnoc43

Level 1

Is it possible to create QoS policies based on a defined bandwidth?  I have the following policy-map applied to an interface that is 100M.  This 100M interface connects to an ISP managed router that is not smart enough to do the QoS policies we need.  The other interface of the ISP router is 3.08M NxT1.  My solution is to let my 2811 router perform the QoS but I need a way for the interface to prioritize bandwidht based on 3.0Mbps not 100Mbps.

policy-map att-cos-107
class voice
    priority percent 60
class control
    bandwidth percent 16
class critical
    bandwidth percent 12
class class-default
    fair-queue
     random-detect dscp-based

Is it as simple as adding the bandwidth statement to the interface?

interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 10.255.31.4 255.255.255.0
bandwidth 3080

duplex full
speed 100

Hi,

Yes it should work ;-) But be aware that 3.08M of T1 (PPP or HDLC based) is not 3.08 ethernet due to the overhead difference. The idea is to have always your FastEthernet interface to be congestioned (where you have your QoS policy) before your WAN link.

Ethernet header is longer so you should be able to configure a higher value than 3.08M to be closer to your actual WAN bandwidth but if you try to be too close you could have QoS flapping issue or not having QoS at all as you never reach your congestion point.

Another way to do it would be to use Hierarchichal QoS with a parent shaper.

Great idea with to use hierarchical QoS with a parent shaper.  I altered my policy as below.  Unfortunately I am still seeing some latency with voice traffic in the voice queue when the line is congested.   Any ideas?

policy-map rg-cos-queue
class voice
  priority percent 20
class control
  bandwidth percent 32
class critical
  bandwidth percent 24
class class-default
  fair-queue
  random-detect dscp-based

policy-map rg-cos
class class-default
  shape average 3000000
  fair-queue
  random-detect dscp-based
  service-policy rg-cos-queue

#show policy-map interface fa0/0
FastEthernet0/0

  Service-policy output: rg-cos

Hi Daniel,

The default Tc is set to 25ms. You could try to reduce it to 10ms by configuring a Bc of 30000 in your shaper.

Also you can remove the fair-queue and the WRED from the parent class-default.

HTH

Laurent.
