Limiting Bandwidth by Protocol

[js358]

Hello All:

Is there anyway to limit the use of outbound bandwidth by protocol. Would appreciate any help or point me an article that covers this topic,

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you can define a class-map per protocol and shape or police the traffic outbound.

Example:

class prot1

match protocol citrix

class prot2

match protocol http

policy-map OUT

class prot1

shape percent 10

class prot2

shape percent 15

interface serial0

service-policy output OUT

This would limit traffic to 10% and 15% of available bandwidth. In case you would like to give minimum guarantees to some traffic use "bandwidth" instead of "shape".

Hope this helps

Thanks - this looks pretty straight forward. I'll give it a try.
