QoS on isdn line

[geo_2008_]

Hello,

I have an isdn line as a backup with the following policy

policy-map backup

class preced-5

priority 45

class preced-4

bandwidth remaining percent 30

class preced-3

bandwidth remaining percent 30

class preced-2

bandwidth remaining percent 20

class preced-1

bandwidth remaining percent 10

class class-default

bandwidth remaining percent 10

I can see drops at the critical class even when the offered rate is 1000 or 5000bps, while it should allow untill 45Kbps.

It should allow an /average/ of 45kbps. If your traffic is bursty you are going to see drops even though the 30 second offered rate is low.

If you are putting Voice into your LLQ make sure you are provisioning for the layer 3 header as well as the traffic. This will be about 80kbps for a standard G.711 call and 24kbps for a single G.729 call.

You may want to change the interface to

if#max-reserved-bandwidth 90

This shouldn't be affecting your problem, but it could eliminate any problems with the default-class percent versus the other non-priority classes.
