WFQ is not supported for any link speed over 2Mbps due to CPU/memory
constraints.

Except DWFQ ;-) but only on the RSPs Grrrrr.

That's the default anyways. You'd be better off with WRED than FIFO,
though.

Hmmm why didnt I think about that, maybe I have a RED alergy due to
the nasty things we have seen on our GSRs. Due you know of any sample
configs for WRED and VOIP ?

LLQ over ATM subinterfaces is supported in 12.1T and later. Be sure to
use WRED in the class-default otherwise the default WFQ will kill your
CPU.

Not anyone who likes clear audio.

At least our logic isnt gone nuts.

Yuck. CES is evil.

I agree but we were getting desperate.
