Re: How to apply QOS on Eth link connected to SP while it never

Bruno's explanation makes sense to me as well, but if you shape the traffic
to 512K you'd have that "sledgehammer effect as well right? It was my
understanding that using the bandwidth command in and of itself doesn't
actually do anything to the traffic itself, just fools metrics if routing
protocols are involved, or, in this case, if you set the bandwidth command
to the actual bandwidth available on the DSL line, you'd be able to
"accurately congest" the interface when you actually are approaching the
limits of the DSL... At this point your QoS policies will take effect
because your interface will be congested... Maybe you want to set the
bandwidth command slightly lower than what's available, just so that the
traffic gets QoSed before it's actually policed by the service provider?
Just a thought, I might be rather incoherent; it's late.

Thanks,
Chris
