[c-nsp] VOIP QOS

[Paul Stewart]

Hi there...

I know this has been discussed several times and searched the archives...
I'm being told by a client that this isn't working well.. my question is
what is a better way to offer this?

5 Meg synchronous connection carrying VOIP (SIP/RTP) and general Internet
traffic.  Want to prioritize the VOIP and carve out "up to" 2 meg of traffic
when needed leaving "up to" 3 meg for general traffic... also want to be
able to use 4 meg of general traffic when VOIP isn't using much etc....

Cisco 2821 at customer premise with FE0/0 being the edge interface - Cisco
7206VXR on our side with customer connection coming off subinterface
GigE0/0.101

Between these devices is ethernet equipment that supports DSCP and is
supposed to prioritize - below you'll see no congestion in place but on the
VOIP side we're seeing dropped packets frequently that are not seen when we
remove QOS from interfaces indicating something in this config is wrong....

Any thoughts are appreciated...

Both sides have the following applied outbound on the edge interface:

class-map match-any VOIP
 match protocol rtp
 match protocol sip
!
!
policy-map QOS-VOIP
 class VOIP
  set dscp ef
  shape average 2000000
 class class-default
  set dscp default
  shape average 3000000


 FastEthernet0/0
