Re: QoS (CBWFQ) over FR interface

- The bandwidth reservation using percent in MQC is absolute with IOS 12.4
- By default bandwidth reservation is up to %75 percent. The other %25 is to
support best-effort and control traffic, and Layer 2 overhead.

Based on that information it is now clear that:

- If we need to reserve more than %75 of the interface bandwidth for
different traffic classes then we have to use [ maximum-reservation
bandwidth ] command to change the percentage.

- For default class if left as it is then it will be best effort. And it
will share bandwidth remaining from other classes with the layer-2 overhead
and control traffic.

So the answer for the question sent is:

First we have to use: maximum-reserved bandwidth 100

Second under class default we have to use: bandwidth percent 10

This is my understanding so far. Please correct me if you think I'm wrong.

Thanks,
Mahmoud.
