i want to test the effect of limiting our email (exchange) traffic to a certain amount of bandwidth to allow for a better flow of voip traffic. i currently have qos in place but i still have some voice issues . i know our qos policy is working but i need to tone down email. i think it's b/c we pass a ton of email traffic through 3 t-1's along with voice traffic.
so i was thinking of creating an acl for email then giving it some where around 300 - 500 k per t-1 and adding it to the current qos config.

Depending on IOS version, you would define a class for you e-mail and activate a shaper or policier.
PS:
Seeing
30 second offered rate 414000 bps, drop rate 8000 bps
and
(total queued/total drops/no-buffer drops) 25/21976/0
while other class rate show zero rates, how much bandwidth is available on this link?
If the link's full bandwidth is small enough, your solution might be via LFI.

while other class rate show zero rates, how much bandwidth is available on this link? this is a HDLC t-1.
If the link's full bandwidth is small enough, your solution might be via LFI. the circuit is a full t-1.
i'll look into shaping.
thanks.

Ok, for a full T-1, you shouldn't need LFI.
Unless you didn't post parts of your outbound policy stats, the stats seem off for a full T. Have you seen the interface's stats hit about 1.5 Mbps?

if you mean do the ser int peak at nearly 100% - yes it can some times. i included the " sh policy-map int ser4/0:0" and sh in ser4/0:0.

Other than the interface showing "30 second output rate 709000 bits/sec" and the policy showing "30 second offered rate 1244000 bps, drop rate 0 bps", these don't show drops at 400 Kbps.
For a fast test, to see whether shaping or policing provides the benefit you seek, you could try the shaping or policing in the default class.

thanks i'll look into shaping.
