Hi, Cisco gurus I'm wondering if someone can help me solve a problem I'm having. This problem has been going on for over 1 year I have talked with Cisco, ISP, Mitel and the problem is still not resolved. Our network is not a complex one. We have a host site which is connected to 6 remote sites via MPLS, Norlight is the ISP. At each site is a Mitel 3300 VoIP system.
At the host site we have an IMA group (ATM) 3mbs connection and at the remote sites we have 1.5mbs Frame connections.
The symptoms of the problems are this. High jitter and garbled sounding voices on both ends. The problem seems more sever on the host site end near the IMA group. The calls break up like you hear every other word. I checked the bandwidth usage on the host router and it is not even 1mps most of the time. The remote routers show 200 or 300 kps most of the time.
There are some traffic shaping drops outbound from the host site but they are less then 1%.
The policy map is not showing any drops.
I have asked the ISP about implementing FRF.12 they do not support it.
Let me know if you need me to post any more information.

Hi,
The problem may be very well with you SP MPLS cloud.
vbr-nrt 3072 3072
seems a little too much, Note the second parameter is the burst size expressed in cells and not the repetition of the first. But it would matters, as w/ an access speed of 3072 theres is nothign to burst.
Same at the remote, you cir configuration have no effect as all they do is setting CIR same as access speed.
I haven't looked at the rest, before anything else please investigate the service parameters, ask if they are honoring dscp ef.
If the SP doesn't respond satisfactorily, try reducing the speed of ATM and FR shaping even drastically and obsverse results.

Tx-ring is also quite large for my taste.
Also, "class-map match-all Wan-RTP" should also match dscp EF.
For starters:
Configure IP SLA and look at the statistics, so you have arguments more quantifiable than "garbled sounding voices on both ends".
Hope this helps
