Applying QOS on an 877W Can2002 02-17-07

I've been trying to configure LLQ on an 877w for a while now with
little joy.  I've tried matching classes on a range of criteria
including dscp and access lists.  In each case I then assign these
classes to a policy map and then assign the policy map to my dialer
interface (PPPoA).

I can see that the classes are matching my traffic, but when I look at
the service policy statistics for the dialer interface, it shows no
packets matched against the priority queue.

I've pasted below my class and policy maps:

   class-map match-any VoIP-Signalling
    match access-group name VoIP-Signalling
   class-map match-any VoIP-Voice
    match access-group name VoIP-Voice
   !
   policy-map QOS-Default
    class VoIP-Voice
     priority 64
    class VoIP-Signalling
     bandwidth 20
    class class-default
     fair-queue

The access lists used to match the classes above are below:

   ip access-list extended VoIP-Signalling
    permit udp host 1.2.3.4 eq 5060 any
   ip access-list extended VoIP-Voice
    permit udp host 1.2.3.4 range 18000 18999 any
    permit udp host 1.2.3.4 eq 4569 any

I've checked that the ACLs are matching the voice traffic:

   show access-lists VoIP-Voice
     Extended IP access list VoIP-Voice
         10 permit udp host 1.2.3.4 range 18000 18999 any (1898
matches)
         20 permit udp host 1.2.3.4 eq 4569 any
   show access-lists VoIP-Signalling
     Extended IP access list VoIP-Signalling
         10 permit udp host 1.2.3.4 eq 5060 any (91 matches)

The Dialer interface has the following command added (trimmed for
posting):

   Interface Dialer10
    service-policy output QOS-Default

When I run 'show policy-map interface dialer 10' I see the following:

    Dialer10

     Service-policy output: QOS-Default

       Class-map: VoIP-Voice (match-any)
         1898 packets, 125472 bytes
         5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps
         Match: access-group name VoIP-Voice
           1898 packets, 125472 bytes
           5 minute rate 0 bps
         Queueing
           Strict Priority
           Output Queue: Conversation 72
           Bandwidth 64 (kbps) Burst 1600 (Bytes)
           (pkts matched/bytes matched) 0/0
           (total drops/bytes drops) 0/0

       Class-map: VoIP-Signalling (match-any)
         96 packets, 50166 bytes
         5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps
         Match: access-group name VoIP-Signalling
           96 packets, 50166 bytes
           5 minute rate 0 bps
         Queueing
           Output Queue: Conversation 73
           Bandwidth 20 (kbps)Max Threshold 64 (packets)
           (pkts matched/bytes matched) 0/0
           (depth/total drops/no-buffer drops) 0/0/0

A couple of posts have raised similar questions - particularly whether
it's even possible to apply a policy map to a dialer interface.

Any pointers would be gladly received!

My understanding is that this only works with
multilink ppp. I have not had the opportunity to try it out.

If you look at the documents very carefully the only examples
given are mppp ones and often in the documents specific
router models are mentioned which leads me to worry that
support is platform dependent.

On the other hand this may work.


 pvc 0/38
  vbr-nrt 240 240
  tx-ring-limit 2
  encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
  dialer pool-member 1
  service-policy output PM.to-internet

You NEED the vbr-nrt bit.


MAYBE you need also:-

interface Dialer0
 service-policy output PM.to-internet

Oh yes I remember.

My idea was to mark the packets in the dialer
then do crypto with QoS pre-classify
then hopefully the marked packets would be queued
somewhere, or something.

I can't figure it out.

One thing about this latter config (PVC)  that I don't follow
is that the ATM interface has no clue about IP and
yet documents suggest that you apply an IP
based service policy to it. I find that baffling.
No - make that really, really really baffling.

It may work though.

Let us know. I have done some testing and it does seem to
be working but I did not do enough to be sure.

On the other hand,

Get a 2801 and put it inside your 877, not using the wireless.

Then you can do fine and beautiful traffic shaping and LLQ on the
2801's ethernet interfaces.  That works very nicely for sure.

PS - LLQ does not work on BVIs.
In this case it does tell you when you type it in which is nice.

Cheers for the responses,

I got to the bottom of it in the end; the policy map needs to be
applied to the ATM sub-interface, not the dialer!

It took a fair amount of digging, but anfter tweaking the settings it
kicked into gear!
