qos: priotising one traffic flow below all others

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice on the following scenario:

We have a 1 Gb intersite link which is used to carry san traffic (udp port 1024) as well as normal day-to-day network traffic. I would like to make the whole 1Gb available for the SAN traffic ONLY if there is no other traffic on the link i.e. prioritise everything else above it. How can I do this? I have formed a vague idea about using class maps as follows, but I am pretty unsure -

ip access-list extended 155

permit udp any any eq 1024

class-map nonSAN

match not access-group 155

policy map SAN1

class nonSAN

bandwidth percent 100

class default

bandwidth remaining 100

switch(config-if)#service-policy output SAN1

Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Is there a way to do this? Any suggestions welcome.

Before configuring QoS, you must have a thorough understanding of these items:

The types of applications used and the traffic patterns on your network.

Traffic characteristics and needs of your network. Is the traffic bursty? Do you need to reserve bandwidth for voice and video streams?

Bandwidth requirements and speed of the network.

Location of congestion points in the network.
