With the following config...

policy-map COS

class IP-PREC4

set ip precedence 4

priority percent 50

class IP-PREC3

set ip precedence 3

bandwidth percent 30

class class-default

fair-queue

random-detect

policy-map SHAPING

class class-default

shape average 512000 5120

service-policy COS

!

interface FastEthernet0/0

description MPLS 2MB connection

FastEthernet5/1/1

bandwidth 2000

ip address 192.168.x.214 255.255.255.252

speed 10

full-duplex

max-reserved-bandwidth 100

service-policy output SHAPING

...would the priority percent use 50% of the shaped rate or 50% of the interface's bandwidth command for it's percentage calculation?

Cheers

To add some explanation to this:

With your configuration the queue system is built up the following way:

Interface Traffic -> LLQ -> Shaping Queue -> Transmit Queue -> Outgoing traffic

So if you configure the 'priority percent 50' command, the LLQ will allow 1000 kbps for the priority traffic.

But the shaping queue is configured for 512kbps only, so 1000 kbps priority traffic could overwhelm the shaping queue, leaving no space for other traffic.

Hi Duncan,

The priority percent command uses the bandwidth setting to calculate the bandwidth allocated to the priority queue. In this case it will allocate 1000 kbps.

You should set the priority command to

"priority 256"

if you want the priority queue to use 50% of the shaped bandwidth.

Istvan

"...would the priority percent use 50% of the shaped rate or 50% of the interface's bandwidth command for it's percentage calculation? "

If I remember correctly, with the later IOS images, the bandwidth percentages will use the parent policy's shaped rate not the interface bandwidth setting (which whould be used by class percentages in the parent policy).

BTW, another interesting bandwidth issue is, you've explicity allocated 80%. For IOS on most platforms (pre 12.4[20]T?), you would be unable to do this without increasing the max-reserved-bandwidth from its default 75% (as you've done), although here too I think this would only apply to the parent policy, not a subordinate policy.

It also looks like you've clipped an actual CBWFQ implementation. What does a show policy-map interface indicate (since many IOSs will show class bandwidth allocations for percentages)?

Thanks Joseph. Where did you get this info? I've tried to find something definitive on the Cisco site regarding this but no luck to date.

Unfortunately it's a provider router (CE) so I don't have telnet access, but I do have GN3 so I'll give it a try on there.

Cheers

Duncan

Sorry, don't recall if I seen good Cisco documentation on this point.

BTW, I dropped your configuration into a lab router (2801 using 12.4.23) and it looks like my memory was confirmed.
