Re: QoS over PPP link

tsvetan.adamov · ‎10-04-2002

Hello to everyone,

I have a network with star topology that connects 3660 with multiple sites with 2600 installed. Each of the router is connected to PBX. (MD110 PBX--PRI--3661--2620--BRI-BP250)

Currently the calls from one site to the central site are going well, but when there is traffic on the channel, the quality becames unacceptable, although I've configured LLQ and priority for voice. What could be the problem of this?

Also the calls from one site to the other through central site are not working. From the isdn q931 debug I can see that calls are coming to the destination router, but are released immidiately.The calls from central site to each direction are working.

jcmartin · ‎10-04-2002

As for the first problem, have you configured link fragmentation and interleaving on the ppp link yet?

For the second problem, check to make sure you have connectivity between the remote sites' phone subnets using ping. It may be a routing issue.

tsvetan.adamov · ‎10-04-2002

Yes, I've configured fragmentation and interleaving.

I have connectivity between remote sites, ping is going everywhere.

If you do a "show policy interface muX" (where X is the multilink interface number) command does it show that your voice traffic is hitting the priority queue? Posting your config would be helpful. You don't say how much bandwidth you have to each site, what codec you are using or how you are limiting the calls to the number your QOS is set up to support.

If a PBX refuses a call on an PRI it usually means it does not know how to complete the call, or else it is blocked by class of service.

It seems that the traffic doesn't hit the priority queue. But I can't understand why.I have 128K to each site, and using the default codec 729r.Currently I'm making only one call on the link, and with traffic on it the QoS is really bad. Below you can find the show commands and a part of show tech, because I think it's to long to post it here

SInce you are setting the precedence bit to 5 in your VOIP dial peer your voice-traffic class maps should look like this:

class-map match-all voice-traffic

match ip precedence 5

You also should do the signalling the same way, setting the precedence under the dial peer and matching precedence with your class map.

I assume your PBXs are doing the CAC to limit the number of calls to 4?

Regards, Dave

dgahm · ‎10-05-2002

In order to set the signaling as I suggest you will need to go to T code which has an enhanced command for that "ip qos dscp XX signaling/media".

We have been running 12.2.(11)T, which seems to be very solid.

Dave

tsvetan.adamov · ‎10-06-2002

Does it mean that if I'll try to classify voice traffic not with ip precedence, but with access-list, this will fail ? Also another problem is that on the other end of the link I have Cisco3661 with ip qos dscp xx. I assume that the parameter that is equivalent to precedence 5 is cs 5. Should I put it for the signalling or for the media , or both ?

Also, how much memory 12.2.(11)T requires ? I have only 40Mb DRAM on my 2600 router.

dgahm · ‎10-06-2002

Using the access-list is failing for you now, and I know from experience that setting precedence in the dial peer and matching against precedence in the class map will work, and makes for a cleaner config.

Best practice is to set the signaling to precedence 3 and the media to 5. CS5 is precedence 5, or you can use the recomended DSCP values of ef for media, and af31 for signaling. Using the ip qos command on the 3661 and ip precedence on the 2600 will not cause any problems.

The T code requires 64MB in the 2600, so you either need to add memory or work with what you have. Your show policy int indicates the control queue may be working so just make the changes to the voice class map and see how it works.

Dave

tsvetan.adamov · ‎10-07-2002

Great thanks for your answers, you was 100% wright. I followed your advice, and made reconfiguration to match the traffic with ip precedence. Now it seems that everything works perfectly. But I still don't know why access-list doesn't work . I wonder, is this a bug in software or in my head :))

Anyway, thanks for this once again.

Calls from one office to another still doesn't work. This is the last problem for a while that I've got :)
