[c-nsp] QoS help on 2821

[Aaron Riemer]

Could other traffic be marked with either EF or CS3 here? How are you
marking the traffic? I would have a separate policy on the inbound
interface that actually marks some of the traffic to test. 

Let me know how you go I am interested :)

Cheers,

Aaron.

Hi folks,

I'm trying to understand the behavior of what I think is a very
simple QoS configuration and am hoping someone can explain the
behavior I'm seeing and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I have a 2821 running 12.4(22)T with the following policy map:

  class-map match-all bearer
   match ip dscp ef 
  class-map match-all signal
   match ip dscp cs3 

  policy-map voice-policy
   class bearer
      priority percent 15
   class signal
      bandwidth percent 10
   class class-default
      fair-queue

This policy map is applied as an outbound service policy on a T-1
interface.

I flood the T-1 with 10 Mb/s of unmarked UDP traffic while I have a
couple of pings running that are sending CS3 and EF marked ICMP echo
requests to a device on the far end of the T-1.  I expected the marked
traffic to make it through unscathed (modulo some additional
serialization
delay introduced by the unmarked traffic), but it was all dropped
(policy
map stats below).  The stats claim  bandwidth exceeded drops in the case
of
the priority queue, but I'm sending a 64 byte ICMP echo request once
per second, so that seems unlikely.

CPU is basically idling on the 2821.  There are no input queue drops.

Clues?
