Hi,
It's been 15 years since I've been on a Cisco router so I am more than a little rusty (plus I assume things have changed a bit since then:) so thanks for any help.
I'll have a 1 gbps internet entrance coming in on an ASR1001-x (yet to be purchased) and have 3 other partners who are all contributing to the payment. I would like to make sure they get the bandwidth they have paid for (and more if no one else is using theirs at that moment), but that they can't get more than their fair share when things are busy. Each of the 4 partners (ourselves included) comes out of the router on a separate vlan that goes to our respective firewalls.
I think I can do it with class-map/policy-map policing applied outbound to the vlan trunk, but don't think this will provide the ability to use more than the policed amount when things are not busy? If not, is shaping the way to do this? Also, would it be best to apply the policing in both directions (inbound and outbound on the trunk) or would just outbound be enough to slow down the TCP flows?
Thanks
Neil
