[c-nsp] QoS support on Catalyst 6503

[Jon Allen Boone]

Folks,

   I have some basic questions regarding QoS implementation on a Cisco 
6503.

   My experience with policing on the 6509 from the 1999-2002 period was 
that the policing wasn't as strict as what you'd expect from CAR 
(typically a few extra Mbps of traffic "leaked" througH).  Cisco 
informed me that this was due to the way that the equipment was 
implemented -- i.e. it didn't have enough guts to police at a faster 
rate, so there was a basic limit to what it could do.

   I have no experience with the 6503 - is it a different implementation 
than the 6509?  Does it's QoS suck as much as the 6509s did then?  Is 
it better now?  What about prioritization and queueing?
