Wow harsh dude!

class-map class1
match protocol http

policy-map remaining

class class1
priority percent 40

class class-default
bandwidth remaining percent 100

int s0/0
max-reservable-bandwidth 100 <- don't forget this... otherwise
you are "maxing" at say 1152 Kbps on a T-1 (75%)

The IE WB VOL 2 has a million dollar couple of pages on absolute vs
approximate reservations... I'd look at that if your doing the wookbook.
I prefer not using percentages in real world qos configurations. its harder
to undo/redo them when bandwidth becomes scarce- and absolute resv. are
easier to read in the config when a group of people is doing it.

Part 2: falls under the "consistent units" rule, for those joining in;

I think if you read this...

dwidth-percent-and-bandwidth-remaining-percent/

you'll have the answer to part 2 pretty much cleared up.

Subject: bandwidth percent

Hi group,

Question regarding bandwidth percent, which would/should be the prefered
method:

One class for x type traffic to be prioritized 40% of the bandwidth then the
default class has to be guaranteed the remaining bandwidth and make sure
100% of the bandwidth is being used.

Ok so there are two classes, class-map X and the default class. Class X is
configured with priority percent 40 and class-default configured with
bandwidth percent 60.

Now the question is should "bandwidth remaining percent 100" not be the
prefered solution as the whole idea behind MQC is to make things simpler
when having to add/remove configs?

Part2: That said while it works with priority percent it is not possible to
have one class configured with bandwidth percent x and then another class
configured with bandwidth remaining percent 100, so then what is the point
of the bandwidth remaining percent?

Joe B need not reply.
