Hi experts,
can you please help me?
Lets call our data centre site A and our remote site site B, we have many remote sites connecting to the data centre but I'll leave them out for the purpose of simplicity. The link at the Data Centre is 14Mbps with CIR of 4Mbps, the remote site is 6Mbps with CIR of 2Mbps.
Voice calls are breaking up between site A and B if someone from either site starts a large file transfer (WAN utilization is normally at around 20% but shoots upto 80% to 90% during file transfer, also pings from Site A to Site B change from a stable 8ms to 15ms to a very eratic 20ms to 130ms, at the time the reply is above 100ms the voice call starts breaking up). Both sites are connected to each other via Frame-Relay over a MPLS cloud. I think I have implemented QoS correctly and the frame relay config but I may be mistaken, can someone please run your eye over the remote site WAN router config and see if something isn't quite right?

Dave,
What is obeserved is that your VoIP traffic is not getting prioritised.
What does the access list aglevel5 match on ?
If thats the case then how will the IOS classify VoIP traffic ?
If its a generic match for a subnet or so
you need to pull down your generic ACL aglevel5
and
you need to place your "match ip dscp ef" on the top if you have marked voice with ef somewhere earlier
or
classify the VoIP packets with
"match ip rtp 16384 16383" which should also be the first in the match any class "five".
Lets know how it went.

Hi,
it turns out that the Frame-Relay Tc Interval was at 1 sec instead of 10ms, I changed the following and it's all good...
map-class frame-relay shaped-voice
no frame-relay adaptive-shaping
frame-relay cir 6144000
frame-relay bc 61440
frame-relay be 0
frame-relay mincir 2048000
service-policy output cos
See the link below for more info.
