Hi all,
I'm looking into different queueing strategies for a pair of T1s using multilink ppp and would like to get some input on the different options.
We have a pair of T1 connecting the Corporate HQ to our Colo center. I'm using a pair of 2610s with 2 T1 WICs each, configured for MLP.
The Serial interfaces and the Multilink interface are currently using FIFO and I'm seeing a large amount of "output drops".
Last clearing of "show interface" counters 03:34:54
Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 23840
Queueing strategy: fifo
We use Citrix for several applications and I'm worried about the dropped packets affecting performance.
I've been looking at running WFQ, CBWFQ (do I need LLC?), or even PQ and I'm having trouble sorting out the options and making a decision.
Can anyone make a suggestion on reducing the output drops and prioritizing ICA traffic?
What should I expect when changing the queueing strategy on the interface? Do the serial interfaces need to match the Multilink interface? Will changing the queueing method bring the link down for a noticeable amount of time?
Thanks all,
chris
