QoS bandwidth budget

Level 4
Level 4

I have this QoS policy:

class-map match-all Video-Control1

match access-group name Video-Control1

class-map match-any Prec5

match ip precedence 5

match ip rtp 16384 16383

class-map match-all Video-RTP1

match access-group name Video-RTP1

class-map match-all VoIP-RTP1

match access-group name VoIP-RTP1

class-map match-any Patch-management

match access-group name patch-servers

class-map match-all VoIP-Control1

match access-group name VoIP-Control1

Now when I add up the bandwidth allocated by this policy I come up with 1110kbps. The interface shows 1536kbps.

When I try to allocate 384 kbps to:

class Patch-management

bandwidth 384

I get:

I/f Serial2/0/2:0 class Patch-management requested bandwidth 384 (kbps), available only 12 (kbps)

What gives?

Mike,

What you are seeing is the normal behavior. Router, by default, only allows 75% of available bandwidth for bandwidth allocation on an interface and it reserves the other 25% for best effort and control traffic. You can change this behavior with the command 'max-reserved-bandwidth (%)' under the interface. This would allow you to allocate more bandwidth (up to 100%) for QOS traffic. However, be careful when using this command as you don't want to starve the control & best effort traffic of any bandwidth.
