class real-time !i.e. VoIP bearer
priority percent 35
class class-default
bandwidth remaining percent 100
fair-queue

The above will work well for egress, but ingress can become problematic.  If one of your two paths fail, I assume both sets of traffic will use remaining path, and if so, that's where ingress can be problematic.

Some, BTW, may argue at long as both paths are active, with voice on one and data on the other, you don't need QoS.  Well, the FQ, in the above, will generally benefit all traffic in class-default.

Lastly, if your ISP bandwidth is not full port speed, you'll want a "parent" policy shaper too.

but my main concern is i want to use isp 1 fir voice and isp 2 for data .i am not pretty sure how it can be done plz assisst.

 

Ah, well if you want to separate your traffic types, per path, that's more of a routing policy issue than a QoS issue.  Often something like PBR (policy based routing) would be used.

That noted, I believe using QoS such that your traffic meets its service goals is the better solution.

For one thing, consider what happens if one path fails.  Assuming you don't want to drop all your one class of traffic, in such a failure situation, traffic will be "mixed" on your remaining link.

For another reason, PBR can be a bit "messy" when dealing with lost paths.

Of course, it's also possible to use PBR and QoS together, but again, a good QoS approach often negates the need to policy route your traffic.

One of the best approaches is to used something like PfR (performance routing) which can dynamically load balance across multiple links and can insure something like VoIP is directed (again dynamically) across the path with the best performance for that traffic.

i dont need backup link but my main concern is voice and data trafic flow seperate.

 

i know if 1 link fail traffic goes down but its not issue .

 

my both isp are same if 1 fail 2nd automatically fail .so its not issue

 

my 1 connection is premium and other is home that why i want premium link for voice and home link for data because its umlimited.

Again, in that case, PBR would be the normal solution, not QoS.

ok pbr is solution but need commands .

Post a new question for that.

This tread, noting QoS, will mislead others.
