AW: [c-nsp] How to QoS Voice on a Cisco LNS (How to attach aservice-policy to a Virtual-Interface?)

[Alexander Lucke]

Hi Arie,

CAR is an idea. The problem I have with queueing it that I tried to configure my service-policy on a virtual-template, e.g.

class-map match-all DSCP_EF
  match  dscp ef
policy-map output_policer
  class DSCP_EF
   priority 100
  class class-default
   fair-queue
!
interface Virtual-Template2
 description #### incoming DSL sessions ####
 mtu 1456
 ip unnumbered Loopback7
 ip access-group CUSTOMER-IN in
 ip route-cache flow
 ip tcp adjust-mss 1416
 no logging event link-status
 load-interval 60
 no snmp trap link-status
 no peer default ip address
 ppp mtu adaptive
 ppp authentication chap pap callin
 service-policy input SET_DSCP
 service-policy output output_policer
!

When I set the "service-policy output output_policer", I get an error message

"Class Based Weighted Fair Queueing will be applied only to the Virtual-Access interfaces associated with an MLP bundle."

For every session that's up (i.e. every virtual-access interface). After reading some documentation I think that prioritizing (by queueing) is not possible with PPPoE but I still hope I'm wrong ;-)

So - if you don't do the above - what do you do with CAR? Do you simply limit the class-default traffic to something like "total bandwidth less voice bandwidth"? 

This should work with some customers here but with others I will have - under heavy call load - more voice traffic than data and limiting the class-default to less than 50% of the total bandwidth (even when no calls are active) would not make them happy.

Alexander Lucke

We are using 7300's for something similar.
We load a per user CAR policy for both upstream and downstream policing from RADIUS and it works perfectly.
We have been experimenting with a policy-map per virtual access and it seems to work as well, as long as you pre-define all the policies in the global config.
I have never tested a priority queue with such a config, but it's a cpu based platform so it should support it...

Hi,

I have a problem with QoS and hope that someone else already solved such a problem and can help me here.

What I need to do is prioritizing Voice traffic on SDSL lines. 

For the upstream part, this is no problem as the CPE (a small cisco router) can do QoS on the ethernet interface. My problem is the downstream part. My LNS (Cisco 7206VXR/300) gets the PPPoE-DSL sessions via L2TP over a FastEthernet interface. I configured some vpdn-groups and some virtual-templates and everything works fine with normal data traffic. 

My problem is that - when reading some documentation (e.g. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/pppoe_qos_dsl.html) - it seems impossible to do a "session based queueing/shaping/whatever". It seems only to support marking.

Did anybody solve this issue? How is it possible to let an LNS prioritize Voice traffic in the downstream direction?

And No, we do not have access to the DSLAMs or the DSL aggregation network but let's assume that we don't have congestion (no overbooking ;-) here.

Viele Grüße
Alexander Lucke
