I have just discovered the 7206 router I have inhereted are only doing FIFO on the serial interfaces. They are attached to full DS3 and max out at about 6MB of traffic daily. We do not do voice or video. I have had some issue with clents complaing of timout issue with some of their API apps coming accross the internet.

I have just discovered the 7206 router I have inhereted are only doing FIFO on the serial interfaces. They are attached to full DS3 and max out at about 6MB of traffic daily. We do not do voice or video. I have had some issue with clents complaing of timout issue with some of their API apps coming accross the internet.

Does anyone thing it would be a good idea to do WFQ on this interface? Below is a show interface and I do see some drops.

With FIFO once the hardware queue is filled up then traffic will start getting drop randomly without software queuing enable. .

Example of WFQ configuration i am using and match traffic based on DSCP or you could match your application traffic based on ACL.

interface Serial2/1
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
no ip mroute-cache
load-interval 30
dsu bandwidth 44210
framing c-bit
cablelength 10
no clns route-cache
max-reserved-bandwidth 90
service-policy output INT_OUT

policy-map INT_OUT
    class HIGHQ
    bandwidth remaining percent 45
class ROUTINGQ
    bandwidth remaining percent 5
class LOWQ
    bandwidth remaining percent 10
class class-default
    bandwidth remaining percent 35

class-map match-all ROUTING_Q
match ip dscp cs6
class-map match-all LOW_Q
match ip dscp cs1
class-map match-all HIGHQ
match ip dscp cs4
