Priority for HTTP traffic.

[shijomon scaria]

Hi All,

I have tried prioritizing traffic from a server IP address to users. I could find the ping statistics remain steady after the prioritization but the http application stopped working. The server is in remote data center and its connected to the user network over an MPLS link. What could have been gone wrong in this case, any idea... ??

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Shijo.

hi,

did you prioritize end-to-end? LAN and WAN?If you have MSP to manage your MPLS talk with them.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have prioritized it in my perimeter router towards WAN.

Just created a priority queue (LLQ) for traffic generated from a particular server by creating a policy map with priority command.

Regards,

shijo.

LLQ has an implicit policer, you're not bumping up against that?  I.e. is LLQ dropping packets?

Is your MPLS cloud multipoint?  If so, does it support any QoS?  When you moved your HTTP traffic to a LLQ class, did you change its ToS?

PS:

BTW, I wouldn't recommend using LLQ for HTTP.
