Re: MQC QoS - map class or service-policy

Wow, how cool is that?

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

And, yes, that was exactly what I was asking about.

Now, if that's true and I believe you when you say it is, this should also
be true.

When the map-class with the service-policy inside is applied on the physical
interface,
whatever is inside that map-class is inherited by all the dlci's regardless
of whether
those dlci's are terminated at the phy or sub-interface level. ( I don't
know if you tested
whether this is true for just the physical interface or if you also tested
whether this is true
on sub-interfaces.)

But, if this is true for both the phy and sub-interfaces, then logically 2
other conclusions follow:

1) Therefore, it's possible to use a service-policy to filter whatever
traffic is specified
with the MQC without having to apply an acl wherever there's an assigned ip
address.

What makes this interesting (to me, at least), is that the other day I
verified that an acl
applied directly on the physical interface does NOT affect traffic on
sub-interfaces. In
other words, an acl on a f/r phy interface is NOT inherited by
sub-interfaces.

2) Now, it's possible to filter traffic from just one individual dlci on a
multipoint interface
(phy or p2m sub, it doesn't matter) with multiple dlci's.

For example, let's say you have a f/r interface with 2 dlci's: 1 dlci
connects to an ISP and
the other dlci connects to your internal network. And, your network policy
states that certain
traffic from your ISP is not allowed IN but that same type of traffic from
your internal is allowed IN.

(Of course, I know this issue is easily avoided by using sub-interfaces, but
I'm trying to think
like those sadists who write the R & S lab, where the easy solution isn't
allowed)

If you just created the appropriate acl to implement that policy, there's no
place to apply the acl
without affecting the traffic from both dlci's.

But, now, by combining MQC and map-classes, you can use the MQC to filter
the traffic not
allowed from the ISP and using map-classes, you can apply it just to the
dlci connecting to your ISP.

What do you think?

Later in the week I'll be able to test this, but for now, I don't have
routers that support this type of thing.

Thanks again, Tim
