Oh, Thank you all...now I am really confuse.....eheh, just kiding, could
not avoid :)
Molica,
Instead of:
===============
quoted
... as voice and data packets could share the same shaper, and I would
want priority voice packets to get precedence over data packets when
entering the shaper.
===========
What do you think about this:
"Shaping will form queue. LLQ (or other) will select which packet will be
send first, from all the packets waiting on the queue formed by shaping
queue."
Chris/Arun,
Suppose we are using LLQ under frame map, there is FRTS and fragmentation,
so there is dual-Fifo on the main interface.
If there is congestion on the main interface, it will form queue on the
main interface (so called software queue) and on the shaping queue.
LLQ will select which packets will go first from the shaping queue to the
main interface queue.
As the queue on the main interface are FIFO, packets will wait and follow
FIFO rules. It is Fifo, so there is no way to deal with re-ordering here.
Agree?
Cordially,

RE: Queue with GTS
Arun,
I think you are mis-interpreting that note, but then gain, we could just
agree to disagree :)
Here is how I read it.
The points you list refer to the actions the interface driver take, as
indicated by the following text that precedes the points you quote below
:
"The message is presented to the fast-send routine in the driver which
does the following steps."
The re-ordering that I'm referring to that are configured by priority or
bandwidth statements happen before the packet gets to the interface
driver. The way I look at it is ordering of packets for transmission is
not dependant on the throughput rate of the egress interface. All the
queuing policies that we configure with bandwidth and priority
statements in a policy map do is get the right order of packets ready
for transmission during times of congestion. Whether the interface can
transmit at line rate or a lesser shaped rate is irrelevant to that
action. The correct sequence of packets is processed by the queuing
policy configured, then the interface driver decides how quickly to send
that sequence of packets out, depending on interface speed and any
shaping configured.
One point that may also help is that the software queue in the document
you refer to, is the output hold queue, that is not the queue where
policy-map statements like priority and bandwidth take effect.
Cheers
Chris

Just check this out for More details . Quoting this for your info ...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk364/technologies_tech_note09186a008009
3fdc
shtml
1.. If traffic shaping is active, it compares the message arrival rate
to the message transmission rate for the indicated class of messages. If
either a shaping queue is forming on the subinterface or the queue is
not present but the rate has now been exceeded, it places the message
into a queue on the software interface.
2.. If traffic shaping is not active, does not apply to this message,
or the rate has not been exceeded, the driver now asks whether the depth
of the output controller's transmit queue is below the tx-queue-limit.
If it is below the limit, the driver simply queues the message for
transmission. A message that followed this path is accounted as having
been fast-switched on input and fast-switched on output.
3.. If it cannot be fast-switched, however, the driver diverts the
message into a software queue, which is generically referred to as the
"output hold queue". Examples of such hold queues include First In,
First Out (FIFO) queuing, Priority Queuing, Custom Queuing, and Weighted
Fair Queuing (WFQ).
Thanks and Regards
Arun
