QOS for voice

[bjornarsb]

Hi.

Why do I see voice traffic on one router and not on another:

Class-map: VOICE (match-all)
          0 packets, 0 bytes
          30 second offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps
          Match:  dscp ef (46)
          Priority: 25% (9900 kbps), burst bytes 247500, b/w exceed drops: 0

Class-map: VOICE (match-all)
          8816096 packets, 1917880834 bytes
          5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps
          Match:  dscp ef (46)

It's the same service-policy on both routers.

Can you provide more details, configuration? Show commands as well

Hi.

We assume that the voice traffic is marked at source.

Configuration:

!

class-map match-any BUSINESS

match access-group name MARK-BUSINESS

class-map match-all SHAPING

match any

class-map match-all VOICE

match  dscp ef

!

!

policy-map QOS

class VOICE

  priority percent 25

  set dscp ef

class BUSINESS

  bandwidth remaining percent 70

  set dscp af31

class class-default

  fair-queue

  set dscp default

policy-map QOS_VRF_BRUKER

class SHAPING

  shape average percent 100

  bandwidth percent 99

  service-policy QOS

!

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

service-policy output QOS_VRF_BRUKER

few comments here:

- The policy-map on the second router it looks it is not configured correctly, I dont see the priority in there

- Why do re mark the packet in your policy if it is already marked? no need for the command "set dscp ef"

- clear the counters and change the load-interval to 30 seconds on both switches, run voice traffic or use ping command with extended option and set the TOS to 184, and provide the show policy-map from both routers. I see the rate in both routers is zero, lets verify there are marked packet with this dscp

Hi again.

We removed the re-marking. Pinged with tos 184, but still no counters:

Class-map: VOICE (match-all)

          0 packets, 0 bytes

          30 second offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps

          Match:  dscp ef (46)

          Priority: 25% (9900 kbps), burst bytes 247500, b/w exceed drops: 0

Can you provide the complete output?

is the traffic matching the class-default?

The problem was that if you have auto qos on trunk ports it will remove the marking if you do not have qos on access ports.
