QoS on an ADSL link - Page 2

nir.fisher · ‎12-30-2010

hi ,

I have question regarding bandwidth reservation on a cisco 837 router with an adsl link to the internet

I have 4 stations connected to the switchports on the router and I want to reserve bandwidth for 2 stations out of the 4

I created a class-map to identify the source mac-addresses of these stations and then created a policy-map to reserve
bandwidth

I applied the service policy under the ethernet 0 interface which is the logical interface connected to the switchports of the router

I am asking basically , if what I did has any effect or should I apply this policy elsewhere , suppose on the ATM interface or on the dialer Interface

Is there any best practice on how to implement this kind of a solution ( and where is it best to apply it ? on which interface ?)

thanks

o.k so let me understand , I am using QoS on the dialer interface to control bandwidth for the upload traffic as shown in the config below

is there any reason I should change the bandwidth on the interface ? I also added a "sh interface" output below

and about shaping , will it benefit me if I apply what you suggested before on the incoming traffic from the internet?

by the way do I need to change the Queueing strategy ?

thanks for the efforts , really appriciate it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that you mark certain traffic, and thats it.

Tihomir Yosifov · ‎01-05-2011

Hi,

First your class-map:

class-map match-all shob-stations1
match source-address mac aaaa.bbbb.cccc
match source-address mac aaaa.bbbb.cccc

is wrong. You cannot have a packet witch comes frome two hosts at the same time. Your class-map must be match-any!!!

After that on policy-map QoS_upload you have not defined what bandwidth (for upload) you want to be guaranteed. If you want 256 kbit/s then you have to add:

policy-map QoS_upload
class station-traffic

bandwidth 256

!!!There is no reason to change bandwidth of the interface!!! It will NOT help you to limit or to make qos for the traffic.

You can read more about the bandwidth command here http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6093972.html

Now you have done with configuring upload QoS. As I said before, you have not pretty much choices for the download traffic. As I understand you need prioritization for some hosts, so you cannot do anything about it.

nir.fisher · ‎01-07-2011

you are right about the class-map , honest mistake...

but about the bandwidth configuration as I understand I have 2 choices , either configure the actual bandwidth like you suggested or the second way is

to reserve a bandwidth precent , like I have configured

class-map match-any shob-stations1
match source-address mac aaaa.bbbb.cccc
match source-address mac aaaa.bbbb.cccc
class-map match-any station-traffic
match dscp af41
!
!
policy-map mark-shob
class shob-stations1
set dscp af41
policy-map QoS_upload
class station-traffic

bandwidth percent 50
!

do you see any problem with that ?

aatkinson · ‎01-06-2011

I would put the policy on the pvc, not on the dialer.

but you'll need to tell the router the pvc is vbr-nrt for this to work.

nir.fisher · ‎01-07-2011

what is the benefit of doing that?

aatkinson · ‎01-07-2011

my experience is that qos on the dialer basically doesn't work.

qos on the pvc does, but you need to tell the router it's a pvc with guaranteed bandwidth for it to be willing

to use qos on it. so something like:

vbr-nrt 448 448

in my case since my adsl is 448 outbound

then

service-policy out myqospolicy

(This is the way Cisco press books say to do it, by the way)

nir.fisher · ‎01-07-2011

thanks everybody for greate tips

anybody has useful verification commands for this config ?

aatkinson · ‎01-07-2011

and do

tx-ring-limit 3

on the pvc if you haven't already
