QoS on Ethernet WAN

vincent-n

The company is currently looking at possibilities of running the WAN on Ethernet technologies. The current WAN is running on a mix of FR and ATM (ATM at HQ and FR at branches). I've setup QoS on the routers based on DSCP precedence bits for different applications. What I wanted to know is whether I'll still be able to setup QoS (liek what I did before) on this new Ethernet WAN or not. I don't see any reason why not but I just wanted to know whether someone out there already has some experience with this. Thanks.

You should be fine. I am doing that at a location now.

Note that, not all QoS techniques are supported on high speed interfaces like Ethernet, but you should be able to do DSCP/IP precedence based QOS on the ethernet interface.

Thanks for your replies. I'm also a bit concern with traffic shaping on FEthernet. It's 100Mbps but we'll only be using a portion of it so I guess that I'll have to configure TS. Do you know of any Cisco links that shows sample TS config on Ethernet? And QoS on Ethernet for that matter? Thanks.
