Hello,
Question; I am running OSPF over a 2Mbit leased line that forwards a lot of FTP traffic. During peaks traffic seems to fill up the line so much that the OSPF hello packets do not make their way over the line before the dead timer expires. I've had an idea to apply QoS to permit the self-generated OSPF traffic to fall into a priority queue - always having 10% of the link capacity dedicated to service these flows but I seem to be not successful with the following configuration that I've applied;
Extended IP access list ospf-marking
10 permit ospf any any
route-map OSPF-Marking permit 10
match ip address ospf-marking
set ip precedence network
ip local policy route-map OSPF-Marking
class-map match-all Routing_Policing
match ip dscp cs7
policy-map Routing_Policing
class Routing_Policing
priority percent 10
interface FastEthernet0/1
description 2Mbit leased line
ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
service-policy output Routing_Policing
I've also tried to run NBAR in a class map matching OSPF traffic and setting dscp cs7 with a policy map.
In short;
How do I mark self-generated OSPF traffic to be prioritized over an outgoing 2Mbit Leased Line?
Thanks, Best Regards

Hi,
I think the best way to solve your issue would be to police or shape ftp traffic to what extent you want:
class-map FTP_CLASS
match protocol ftp
policy-map FTP_POLICY
class FTP-CLASS
police xxxxx or shape xxxx where xxxx is in Bps
int f0/1
service-policy out FTP_POLICY
Regards.

Hi Jhonny,
By default cisco routers mark the routing protocol traffic with precence level 6 , i think its called "internet". You can either do what you were doing but little simple config like,
class-map CMAPOSPF
match ip precedence internet
!
policy-map PMAPOSPF
class CMAOSF
priority XXXX
!
or
As Alain said , you can shape the FTP traffic as it goes out from both ends and it will help.
Thanks,,

2Mbps with Ethernet handoff? First you likely should shape for the 2Mbps. As some shapers implicitly use FQ, that alone might be enough.
e.g.
int f0/1
shape average 2000000
You can do similar with a CBWFQ policy, config is a bit more complex and CBWFQ shaper can, I believe, work differently depending whether you're using pre- or post- HQF CBWFQ.
