Why in the world would anyone block YouTube? YouTube has helped ensure
more people waste time then any other site on the Internet. In fact
YouTube helps keep the CCIE numbers low since CCIE candidates waste time
on there as opposed to studying for the CCIE lab ;-)

Although I was joking in the last paragraph Petr and I were actually
talking about this last week (CCIE candidates wasting time on sites like
YouTube). We think that we could use the number of YouTube videos
acandidate watches per week to help determine how prepared you are for the
CCIE lab. The only problem is that there are "some" good networking
videos and of course the "off the wall" time wasting videos. Below are
two examples:

BGP at 18: Lessons In Protocol Design

Indian Monkey Business

So we concluded that in addition to asking how many YouTube videos the
candidate watches per week we would also have to ask if they were CCIE
related or just videos containing monkeys ;-)

Lastly if you want any more good YouTube monkey videos feel free to email
Petr (petr@internetworkexpert.com) offline as he has a ton of them
bookmarked ;-)

Subject:CBWFQ to block Youtube

Hi there, I was just doing a lab and thought I would try something on my test
DSL connection.

My intent was to block www.youtube.com with QOS

Here is what I have ...

!
 class-map match-all YOUTUBE
  match protocol http url "www.youtube.com"
!
!
 policy-map CBWFQ_SHAPE_OUT
  class YOUTUBE
   drop
!
!
interface Ethernet0
 service-policy output CBWFQ_SHAPE_OUT
!

But for some reason, it doesnt work. I have CEF enabled. When I do a show
policy-map int e0, it shows everything hitting the default class-default

I am sure I am missing something simple, but my QOS skillz are low and am
trying to build them. Thanks !
