Policy map - stop class going over x mbps?

Cory Dryden

Hi team,

I am having some trouble with my WAN link. We have replication data traversing the WAN from our head office to our DR site constantly. With this traffic marked I can see that even though the bandwidth percent is at 30%, it continually rises to up around 85-90% of the link.

I understand that this is how the command should work, however it seems that it is causing issues becasue other traffic that is prioritised higher is not getting through fast enough even though it is a small amount of traffic.

What I want is for the SAN_REPLICATION data class map to stay at a certain mbps value and not exceed it. I understand that the commands do only use the rest of the traffic when there is nothing competing but for some reason having this use so much bandwidth is severely impacting the TCC_DIRECT and BSADB1 traffic, which are both time sensitive apps.

class-map match-all TCC_DIRECT

description DATA_TO_TCC_MELB

match  dscp af32

class-map match-all SAN_REPLICATION

description DATA_FROM_VLAN_5_(SAN)

match  dscp cs1

class-map match-all VIDEO_QoS

description DATA_FROM_VLAN_7_(VIDEO)

match  dscp cs5

class-map match-all BSADB1

description DATA_FROM_BSADB1

match  dscp cs3

Remember to set up the bandwidth command on the interface!

You might embed a policer in the SAN_REPLICATION class, but I would first suggest setting your shaper's Tc to about 10ms, if larger, and reducing the SAN_REPLICATION class bandwidth reservation.  (Normally everyone thinks of class bandwidth as bandwidth allowances, but it also impacts scheduler class packet selection too.  If the other classes will leave sufficient bandwidth, you might even try just 1% for SAN_REPLICATION.)
