Alsontra,
 
With respect to your last question, don't read too much into it. Only change the "max-reserved bandwidth" if you need to allocate more than 75% of the total link bandwidth to your queues. So if they ask you to reserve 25% for ICMP, just reserve 25% for ICMP and you are done. If they say reserve 25% for ICMP and 55% for all other IP traffic (totaling 80%), you will need to change the "max-reserved bandwidth" for that link to be at least 80%. I like to view it like a safety / misconfiguration protection feature so you won't accidentally break essential router communication.
 
HTH,
Ken

        All,
              A few question related to CBWFQ. The last question has me the most
        puzzled.
        
        1. When configuring CBWFQ the default method of packet drop is tail drop,
        correct? I recall reading that WRED must be specified and cannot be used
        with the queue-list command.
        
        2. The policy default class can only use weighted fair queuing?
        
        3. How does interface queuing and policy-map queuing interact?
        
        4. Cisco states that the total amount of bandwidth for all classes cannot
        exceed 75% of the total bandwidth available on the link. If I am asked to
        allocate 25% of a links bandwidth to ICMP, does this mean use the
        "max-reserved bandwidth" command and reallocate the bandwidth of the entire
        link or work within the specified 75% of bandwidth allocated for
        non-control/routing protocol based traffic?
        
        The last question may just boil down to the most correct answer, but all of
        the examples I've seeing do not take the "75% of link bandwidth" into
        consideration. Is this just splitting hairs?
        
        Thanks,
        Alsontra
