RE: CBWFQ and pak_priority

If you don't put traffic into a particular queue with CBWFQ, it goes
into class-default. This includes routing traffic. Thus, it will get
whatever type of queueing you have set for class-default.

Under the default (25% non-reservable), then up to 25% of your bandwidth
is reserved for class-default. If you don't have other traffic in
class-default, then your control traffic will be protected.

However, it's possible that you could have lots of other traffic in
class-default as well, at which point control traffic would be subject
to the same drop rules as other traffic in class-default (that is, if
it's not already protected by pak_priority, as already discussed).

Make sense?

I'm still not clear on what role max-reserved-bandwidth plays in
protecting the routing protocol traffic.

Isn't 25% of interface bandwidth reserved for control plane traffic by
default?

If so do you really need a separate class to reserve bandwidth for
routing traffic?
Or is that only necessary if you set max-reserved-bandwidth to 100%?

Thanks again for your replies.
