Hi I would like to ask assistance regarding QOS issue i'm facing my customer. Currently they have 60Meg BW, and we allot 2048 to their realtime trafic. The problem is that they are seeing drop rates even we if we are not reaching the full capacity of set priority. One thing i've noticed is that we are seeing total drops also on the main interface. I tweaked shape average to full 60000, configure max reserve BW to 90 & also 100, i even increased the hold que both in & out but trouble still in occur.
Relevant configuration that i can provide:
class-map match-any realtime
match dscp ef
match ip dscp cs5 ef
match dscp cs5

policy-map etm-CSR_1

I'm thinking of replacing the cable in used towards the WAN side and also, there is another port which we can use but FastE. This is to elminate any cabling and port issue I'm seeking your expertise why we are seeing drops even if we are not reaching the full capacity set to realtime traffic. Also current utilization is very minimal which is playing around 30-50% during business hours.

You cannot ever judge the instaneous traffic based on the average of 30 or even 5 seconds. If there are burst of traffic, packes will be dropped eaxtly because you have configured policing.
So, either relax the parameter ands let traffic flow, or configure shaping, or anything else, but do not assume the router is wrong because some traffic graph suggest "little utilization".

policy-map Parent-Policy
class class-default
shape average percent 95
This is our policy map to shape the traffic to 95%. It's simple but effective. You up the bandwidth, there's nothing to change.
