Hi Michael,

The answer is: It depends....

Please have a look at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk39/tk48/technologies_tech_note09186a00800fe2c1.shtml

This tech note states:

"In Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.1T and 12.2, the percentages that you define in your classes are a percentage of the available bandwidth, rather than the full interface or VC bandwidth."

on the other hand it also says:

"In Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2T and 12.3, the bandwidth percent command has been made consistent among 7500 and 7200 and below. This means that now, the bandwidth percent is not referring anymore to a percentage of the Available Bandwidth, but to a percentage of the interface bandwidth. A class with a bandwidth percent command in a policy-map now has a fix calculated amount of bandwidth allocated to it, and the sum of all the bandwidth or bandwidth percent, priority and priority percent classes together has to respect the max reserved bandwidth rule.
The functionality of bandwidth percent as it was understood in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.1T and 12.2 for the Cisco 7200 and below platforms has been preserved in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2T and 12.3 with the introduction of the new command bandwidth remaining percent."

So basically on 12.1T or 12.2 main line your percentages would be relative to the available bandwidth and on 12.2T or 12.3 main line it would be relative to the total bandwidth and this would require you to bump up the max-reserved-bandwidth if you want to allocate the full 100%.

Subject: interplay between mqc bandwidth percent and
max-reserved-bandwidth?

Two questions,

policy-map total
  class one
   bandwidth percent 11
  class two
   bandwidth percent 26
  class three
   bandwidth percent 4
  class four
   bandwidth percent 22
  class five
   bandwidth percent 15
  class six
   bandwidth percent 15
  class class-default
   bandwidth percent 7

If I apply this to an interface, is the bandwidth percent valued
calculated against the max-reserved-bandwidth? For example would class
one be 11% of the default 75% reserved bandwidth? My total adds to
100%, is that of whatever the max value is, or of the total interface
bandwidth value.

I'm assuming I need to up my max-reserved-bandwidth to 100%, what if I
didn't, would it prorate my values?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's add some complexity.

map-class frame-relay frameshape
 frame-relay cir 192000
 frame-relay bc 1920
 no frame-relay adaptive-shaping
 service-policy output total
 frame-relay fragment 240
 frame-relay ip rtp priority 16384 16383 48

Assuming I have a 48K voice call, does the class one get 11% of what's
left?

I'm assuming I don't need a max-reserved-bandwidth command on the
frame-relay interface.

Does the service-policy (named total) in this case get what's left
192000-48000, then calculates the class percent values? Or does rtp
priority and service-policy fight it out for the 192K of total
bandwidth?
 

Thanks for Your Time in Advance,

Michael
