Qos on GRE Tunnel interfaces

[ayokunles]

I have a challenge. i want to implement QoS on our Core router but the core router makes use of GRE Tunnels to remote branch locations.

so far all QoS techniques i want to use cannot be implemented using tunnel interfaces.

the core router is a cisco 7604 router with IOS version 12.2 (33)SRE while the remote locations have ISRs (2821).

i would need help in deciding which QoS technique to use with respect to GRE Tunnels as there are times of congestion due to heavy network traffic to those remote locations.

thanks guys.

Perhaps a "show mod" with what actual port is being used would help.

Joseph,

I believe that you are referring to the VPN SPA modules. I guess these are the only ones which would do shaping before encryption & hence qos pre-classify won't be needed.

I agree with your idea (if it is feasible with ayokunles) on putting a regular router in front of 7600  to do the shaping.

I believe that the best solution in this case would be to use per tunnel QOS.

Regards,

Amit
