[cisco-voip] QOS for MPLS

[Jonathan Charles]

I have always understood that QOS settings need to match on both ends
of a circuit... so, if you allocate 800k on one side, you need to do
the same on the other.

I am now working on an MPLS circuit that has DS3s on some sides, DS1s
on others... do I still need to match QOS settings?

Customer wants 800k on the T1s and 2500k on the DS3s... I don't think
it will matter as I am matching these bw limits on the locations...
but how do I throttle calls from a DS3-side location to a DS1
location?

For example... main site is in Chicago, they have a DS3, one remote
site is in Wichita and has a T1... so, I put 800k for Wichita and
2500k for Chicago... what is to stop Chicago from flooding Wichita
with 2.5MB of calls?
