Where to apply service-policies

Consider the following scenario:

Not sure if the ASCII art will come out.

PPPoATM PPPoFR

7200 NP-G1 PA-A6---------------------------FRF.8---------------------------WIC-1T 2811

Nested service policies are applied at both ends. The top tier policy shape and

the second tier policy does CBWFQ.

policy-map 256-256

class all-traffic

shape average 256000

service-policy 256a

!

policy-map 1984a

class rt-voice-out

class rt-video-out

class citrix-out

bandwidth 64

random-detect

At the ATM end the service policy is applied to the virtual-template. It is not possible to apply it to the VC because

the VC does not support either traffic shaping or nested service policies.

At the FR end there is an option to apply the service policy on either the Virtual-template or the FR map-class.

The question is, which is appropriate? Does it matter? Failing any argument to the contrary I am inclined to use the

Virtual-template. The reasoning being that this would then be configured the same as the ATM end. It is also the way I

see it done in the doco ID 22383 "VoIP QoS for Frame Relay to ATM Interworking with LLQ, PPP LFI and cRTP"

There is no reason given for the way it is done.

Grateful for any comments

The Modular QoS CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) structure that allows you to create service polices and attach these policies to interfaces, subinterfaces and ATM or Frame Relay virtual circuits (VCs). A traffic policy contains a traffic class and one or more QoS features. A traffic class is used to classify traffic, while the QoS features in the service policy determine how to treat the classified traffic.
