Guys,
I had great feedback on the Switch input scheduling question last week. Many thx to all online (and my colleagues at work) :)
If you can apply input scheduling on a switch port, ie the SP or default queues, can you apply input scheduling on a router interface?
switch
input-q----------PFC----------output-q
router
input-int---------cef-or-rp----------output-int
At the moment, most QoS for a router is done (in my expreience) on outbound scheduling, ie setting a CBWFQ bandwidth or priority and setting this policy-map outbound on the router egress interface
Should we be doing it inbound for traffic coming into a router interface before the packet gets cef switched (or sent to the RP for process or fast switching)?
So if two packets come into the router interface at the same time, based on a DSCP value, we should schedule a voice packet to be processed by CEF switching (or the RP) before an email packet?
I am just applying the switch methodology that I learned about last week to a router device. I know all routers have different archetectures, so will probably be spefific to a platform. I am using NSE100s (PXF based) on a 7304 platform.
Kindest regards,
Ken
