The CPU on this router has never gone above 3-4% for any extended period of
time. This is not the issue.

It is always best to mark the traffic as close to the edge as possible.
The fact that you are doing both marking and decision making on the same
router may be your problem here. What IOS are you running and what is
the router model number? I had a similar problem with 2500's in a lab
environment. When I upgraded to 2800's the problem went away.

The config is very simple. I am less concerned about the configuration
and
more concerned about the drops. If somebody knows for sure the answer to
that question it would be great. There is no switch in this scenario
(well
there are, but not where the QOS is happening). Packets are
classified/marked on the Ethernet interface and then matched on DSCP
when
sent out the WAN to customer nodes. I am sure the traffic is going into
the
queue I'd expect, the counters are incrementing (they weren't until we
corrected the ACL for this particular customer).
So the simplest config:
policy-map PROD_WAN_QOS
class ProdHigh
priority percent 25
class ProdMed
bandwidth percent 35
class ProdLow
bandwidth percent 15
class class-default
fair-queue

Jason,
Difficult to say exactly what's going on without referencing config.
You
may want to reply and include config.
From what I can see you are matching on PREC or DSCP for your ProdHigh,
ProdMed, ProdLow classes. Can you determine that the traffic you are
seeing
on the sniffer has the appropriate PREC or DSCP value? Need to be sure
that
the traffic is going into the queue you expect. Also look at your
switch.
Is it QoS-enabled? Is the traffic coming in on a trusted port? Also is
the
switch overwriting DSCP to 000000 on transmit? This is the default
behavior
of some switches.
Other than that, until we can see the config, you can try increasing the
bandwidth allocation for the priority queue and see if you get better
results.
Regarding your question on drops, I believe it is only for the queue.
Also
reply with Sho Interface | in drop and Sho Queueing Interface
Thanks,

QOS Experts
I realize this may not be the forum for this question, but I am studying
for
my CCIE and want some clarification on something. In a production
environment we have 4 classes of traffic (including class default), on
the
first policy (ProdHigh in this case), which is our strict priority class
-
it has an area called total drops/bytes drops. Now at first I thought
that
was JUST for the ProdHigh queue, but the same field is not in the
ProdMed
and ProdLow. I was looking through the CCO and one place it mentioned it
was
amount of drops for the queue it is listed under but someplace else
mentioned it was the total amount of drops on the interface output
queue.
Both could make sense to me (only because the other queues don't have
the
total drops/bytes drops) field.
The main reason I am looking at this is we have configured FRTS and
applied
this QOS policy and on the low speed circuits (56k) we see FTP (ProdLow)
interfere with our traffic that is in the ProdHigh / Strict Priority
Queue.
I am personally thinking that the bandwidth for the high queue needs to
be
adjusted - would there be any other reason to see the drops? Watching
the
traffic on the sniffer during the time of the FTP transmission showed us
continuously retransmitting the HIGH queue but watching the same sniffer
and
the FTP traffic we saw the FTP server fire off 20 packets immediately,
normally with FTP I only see 2-4 packets get sent and an ack on the
data, so
the issue at hand is a little confusing but the question I would think
is
still direct.
