Traffic Shaping ASR9k in output interface.
If we configure output traffic shaping on an ASR 9000 interface the Service Policy is not installed, however in cco we can find that traffic shaping is supported see the next link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r4.2/qos/configuration/guide/b_qos_cg421asr_chapter_0100.html#ID407
My configuration is:

RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:CE.HTCHP.RPE01#
as you can see we got a message "GigabitEthernet0/0/1/10 direction output: Service Policy not installed".
If I use a class instead of the class class-default the policy-map is correctly installed, If I use a child policy-map under the class class-default the policy is installed also.
Do you know if it is a restriction to use traffic shaping in an output interface and using the default class?

Hi everyone,
In the above configuration, I configured traffic shaping to shape the syslog traffic to certain limit. My question is, Can I apply traffic shaping to perticular traffic ? What will happen to the remaining traffic ? We have ethernet hand-of to provider but total bandwidth we can use is 8M, which is controlled by ISP. We just send all the traffic without any shaping.
ThanksTraffic shaping only works from the source. there is no way (other than policing - i.e., discard) to shape through the cloud.
If you tried to pace the traffic through the cloud, it's got to be buffered somewhere, causing latency, and ultimately discarded frames after the buffers fill.
Policing allows the traffic through until some threshold occurs (traditional frame = DE set at Bc, discard at Be), then the traffic is dropped.
FWIW

Traffic-shaping for delay sensitive traffic
Hello, I would like to verify the use of a traffic-shaping policy within an MQC. I was told that you need to apply a shaping policy in order for QoS to always be engaged and not simply during times of congestion. This apparently is critical when you have apps like VoIP.
On a similar note, i remember reading up on Ciscopress that you might NOT want to subject VoIP to any form of Shaping as this introdues delay and can cause Jitter.
Below is a sample config. If you can post an authoritative source on CCO that explains this I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
-Mike

I was told that you need to apply a shaping policy in order for QoS to always be engaged and not simply during times of congestion.
Nope.
You only need to shape when you're dealing with a path where you know the end-to-end bandwidth is less the the egress interface's physical bandwidth and where you cannot manage congestion further downstream along the end-to-end path.
On a similar note, i remember reading up on Ciscopress that you might NOT want to subject VoIP to any form of Shaping as this introdues delay and can cause Jitter.
Semi-true.
The problem can be mitigated by decreasing the shaper's Tc. Also, if shaper doesn't account for L2 overhead (and I believe many do not), you'll need to shape "slower" than the nominal bandwidth. The major problem with the latter, L2 overhead varies, as a percentage, based on packet size. So, you can either allow for worst case, which will best guarantee VoIP service, but tends to give up much of the available bandwidth, or you can shape for average case, which will make VoIP latency and jitter more variable but usually not so much to exceed its service requirements.
You can also bypass shaping for some traffic, but then you need to shape all your other traffic even slower to guarantee the non-shaped traffic bandwidth is always available. As you're effectively reserving this bandwidth, it then becomes unavailable for your other traffic even when unused.
An example of the latter:
policy-map QoS-Policy
class preferred
bandwidth remaining percent 40
random-detect dscp-based
class missioncritical
bandwidth remaining percent 39
random-detect dscp-based
class trans-apps

NB: BTW, the above doesn't account for L2 overhead, and I wouldn't recommend it for other reasons, but it should show how you can bypass the shaper. -
Traffic shaping combined with queuing
Without any traffic shaping, queuing(ex: priority or custom) is only invoked when congestion occurs... correct?
When FRTS shaping is used and custom queuing also specified, is the queuing only invoked when traffic exceeds the shaped speed, or is it always used? ie: If no other traffic present, would traffic specified to use only 50% of shaped bandwidth use 100% of the shaped bandwidth?
When GTS is used with a GROUP specifing an ACL, is matching traffic always limited to the shaped amount, even if no other traffic on the line? Could non-shaped traffic dominate the line or is GTS-shaped traffic guaranteed the minimum amount?1. when you have traffic shapping and the limit
for the shaped value is exeeeded, all traffic arriving at the interface with
no token in the token bucket is queued using the configured queue to thier appropriate queue..
hence any type of queueing is not invoken unless some sort of trafiic conjestion exist either
via shapping or otherwise.
2. If you have a granular shaping instruction per protocol per bandwidth. The traffic over
its shapped value would be queued and sent at maximun shape rate configured. ( that's one of the uses of shaping, to trim rate at which
a specific traffic is sent). If its just queuing that is enable not shaping, then
a traffic for a specific queue can use as much bandwidth as availabel when there is no other traffic, hence no congestion.
3. if you have shaped and non-shaped traffic on an interface using GTS, the shaped traffic can use as much bandwidht as the maximum of the shaped
value while not-shaped traffic will also use bandwidht on as see bandwidth without the need to be controlled, however non-shaped traffic will use
all the bandwidht it needs till the interface start droping packet but the shaped traffic would be queued till there is enough token to start outputing
from that queue. if the there are non-shaped traffic, it could be possible that they may overwelm the interface
and prevent even shaped traffic from geting enough bandwidht to the shaped value. -
QoS Class-Based Traffic Shaping (what is Be)
Guys,
two questions on the output below :
1. What is the Be, is this an amount per interval that can go over Bc or is it the total amount of data that can be sent?
ie, i interpret the command to read, Bc is the sustained rate per interval and Be is the sustained rate plus another amount, it I would use sommat like this
shape average 128000 7936 8500
this would show that I could send in total up to 8500 bits per interval
or does it work like this ?
shape average 128000 7936 564
this would show that I could send in total up to 8500 bits per interval
if it is the first one, you would not expect to be able to configure a Be of less than Bc?
Also, how can you show what traffic is within the Bc and what is in the Be? ie, how much data is being sent out of contract?
Many kind regards,
Ken

Metro2#Guys,
this is great stuff and I really apprciate it.
The thing is this.
One one URL it says the following :-
For Class-based Shaping - How it Works
When the Be size equals 0, the interface sends no more than the burst size every interval, achieving an average rate no higher than the mean rate. However, when the Be size is greater than 0, the interface can send as many as Bc + Be bits in a burst, if in a previous time period the maximum amount was not sent. Whenever less than the burst size is sent during an interval, the remaining number of bits, up to the Be size, can be used to send more than the burst size in a later interval.
The other URL says :-
DTS How It Works
The Be size allows more than the Bc size to be sent during a time interval under certain conditions. Therefore, DTS provides two types of shape commands: average and peak. When shape average is configured, the interface sends no more than the Bc size for each interval, achieving an average rate no higher than the CIR. When the shape peak command is configured, the interface sends Bc plus Be bits in each interval.
So which one is correct. I am really confused.
As far as I am aware, I am running CB Shaping and not DTS, but when I go into the router configurations I get both options.
average and peak ?
Please see example :-
Metro2(config)#policy-map test1_cos
Metro2(config-pmap)#class class-default
Metro2(config-pmap-c)#shap ?
adaptive Enable Traffic Shaping adaptation to BECN
average configure token bucket: CIR (bps) [Bc (bits) [Be (bits)]],
send out Bc only per interval
fecn-adapt Enable Traffic Shaping reflection of FECN as BECN
fr-voice-adapt Enable rate adjustment depending on voice presence
max-buffers Set Maximum Buffer Limit
peak configure token bucket: CIR (bps) [Bc (bits) [Be (bits)]],
send out Bc+Be per interval
Many kind regards and thx for the help with this :)

I see a "Shaping Active no" there, which doesn't sound good.
I am definitely missing something.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
--Adrian.Hello Adrian,
there is one strange thing in your show/config given:
class-map match-all match-smtp

Why does ACL 2 show up int the show policy-map command, when you have configured NBAR (match protocol smtp)?
Are you sure those two outputs are from the same router with the same config? Can you please highlight the underlying reason for this inconsistency? If not a reboot might help ...
Otherwise you might also leave away the Bc and Be values and just take "shape average 640000".
Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.

Traffic shaping G723 traffic between 2 companies
Hi,
Can someone put me on the right way to implement traffic shaping (QoS) for G723 traffic.
Situation:
Two companies connected to each other with a vpn tunnel. The hardware is Cisco 2621xm at the sublocation and on the hq location is an 2651XM.
There is an GRE tunnel configured between the two sites. The GRE tunnel is up and working.
On both sites there is an telephony system that can use G723 anr/or G711. Both telephony systems are connected to each other.
Voice is working, but now we want to implement QoS for the VOIP connection.
Has someone suggestions for me ?Hi,
Appy a policy-map with the desired QoS policy to the tunnel interface.
First of all, issue 'qos pre-classify' on the the tunnel itself, otherwise the congestion management mechanism will be useless.
Cheers,
Gabriel -
Traffic Shaping - can't get it to work
Hi
I’m attempting to create a basic traffic shaping policy in a lab environment but I can’t seem to get it to limit the download rate?
I can successfully achieve this with policing. I am testing the speed restriction using a broadband speed testing website, policing is clearly impacting the download rate, this is not the case with shaping. Please see below the shaping and policing policies, which I am attaching in turn to the vlan1 interface outbound.
Further I have messed around with the below shaping policy and set a fixed cir as in the policing policy but it still has no impact on the download speed.
Finally class SLOW_PC under PM POLICE matches an ACL matching traffic to and from a particular IP address. The speedlimiter is matching all traffic
Policy Map speedlimiter(Shaping)
Class class-default
Average Rate Traffic Shaping
cir 1%
Policy Map POLICE
Class SLOW_PC
police cir 1048500 bc 32765

any help appreciatedShaping and policing can both can be used for outbound traffic on an interface, but only policing can be used for inbound traffic. If you're trying to use shaping (which works by managing the queue) on inbound traffic (which has no manageable queue) it will have no effect. Policing is the only option in this case.

Can Anyone Help Me Configure My Verizon (D-Link) DSL-2750B "Traffic Shaping" (QoS)?
Well ... I just spent a wonderful hour and a half (not) bouncing around VZ technical support, etc. trying to get assistance regarding configuring my DSL router.* Between the low-quality Skype connection to India and my lack of success, I'm a little bummed out right now.
Could one of you perhaps help me? I'm trying to configure a single, wire-attached network node (port 4 of the router) so that it can only consume up to 320 Kbps of my 750 Kbps (7.5 Mbps) DSL bandwidth ... no matter what. This results from this node consuming virtually all of the circuit's bandwidth when streaming or during bulk file transfers.
I have tried to remedy the problem using priority with no discernible impact.
The Quality of Service (QoS) element called Traffic Shaping (Services | QoS | Traffic Shaping), described on Page 51 of the VZ DSL-2750B User Manual , appears to be the ideal solution to my problem. Repeated attempts at activating this QoS have all resulted in no throttling of bandwidth consumption.
My most recent attempt was to define the device on Port 4 as the DMZ host ... and then apply a new rule (320 TX, 320 RX) to this interface. Again, no joy.
Does anyone have any experience with this service on this router?
Am I chasing my tail trying to configure the router without validating that my circuit is not configured with "Fastpath (PSE) inactive"?
If the circuit configuration is a potential problem, which office should I ask for at VZ customer service?
Here is the information from the System page of the Router Control Panel:
Gateway ID: PX2M1BC000000
Software Version: 5.4.12.1.44
Release Date: Feb 19 2012
Platform: D-Link DSL-2750B
Board Tag:... Ntag-5_4_12_1_44
Compilation Flags:... LIC=/home/bat/bat/dlink_bcm96328_5_4_12_1/20120219_1343/conf/jpkg_bcm9636x_dlink.lic CONFIG_RG_PROD_IMG=y DIST=DLINK_DSL2750B
I'll note that the Router provides a notification that "RX QOS might not operate when Fastpath (PSE) is active" when I update the router configuration page concerning Traffic Shaping. Because Fastpath is not mentioned in the User Manual, I'm guessing that Fastpath (PSE) might be a configurable attribute of the circuit servicing my PoP, but I have no idea if this is the case.
I searched for relevant messages on this board ... without success. If this has already been addressed, please provide a link, and accept my apologies. (My Google-Fu tends to be weak.)The asterisk in the first post refers to the following summary of events:
10:40 - Attempt to solve my configuration question using VZ chat begins.
10:49 - VZ chat agent Danish refers me to phone support. (Chat ID number is 020813176471 if you're with VZ and are interested.)
10:50 - Call VZ phone support.
11:02 - Talk with Angel. Because she has not heard of, nor received training in, "traffic shaping," she says my question about configuring this VZ DSL modem must be addressed by "Premium Technical Support." She transfers me.
11:13 - Talk with Pamela. Premium Technical Support only responds to questions about 3d party products. Because my question concerns a VZ DSL modem, Basic Technical Support is responsible. She transfers me.
11:17 - Talk with Joe. He says either the vendor (D-Link) or premium technical support is required. Because I had already tried with D-Link (they referred me to Verizon, as this modem was built exclusively for VZ), I explained what I had already experienced, and described how I wanted "assistance configuring my VZ DSL modem, specifically a feature described on page 51 of the User Manual." He transfers me.
11:23 - The automated phone system asks for my 12-digit customer ID. I wasn't able to find it fast enough, and rolled through to Financial Services. Eventually Trig picked up, listened to my story, and transferred me to "Technical Support" providing the direct dial number, just in case (866.945.79xx).
11:32 - Entered the phone queue. Lots of hissing and clicks.
11:35 - Talk with Monika. (The voice clarity from this point onward was on the order of 1st-generation Skype. Between the horrible language problem -- Monika is in India don'cha know -- and the lousy line quality, this was the most frustrating.) No matter what I said, I couldn't convey the reason for my call. I asked to talk with a supervisor, which Monika related was not possible. She also related that she could not transfer me to an American POC or supervisor.
12:01 - Hung up the phone ... and started down the path that led to my post immediately above.
I was repeatedly queried about the account name and number throughout the process. Conveying this information was especially challenging during the Indian call segment. -

After reviewing the management graphs it looks as though the Traffic Shaping is not working as the graph shows a utilization of 800%. Is there a known reason for this and is there a way I can check on the router. I have ran the show commands but nothing is obvious as to the reason for this. The router is a replacement for a 1721. The same config has been applied. This started happening when the routers were changed.This is a very vague question, but you may need to add a bandwidth statement to your interface for your application to correctly interpret the utilization.

Traffic shaping: Which is the best solution?
Hi! I'm running 3 computers on 1 d-link router, 2 of them has an archlinux installed. Wondershaper mostly works for me when the other computers has cfosspeed running on windows, but when both computers run archlinux and wshaper and p2p applications, ping is over 1000ms instead of 10-20ms.
Which is the best solution of traffic shaping on linux, and is there a howto for them (can be even a gentoo wiki page or similar)?
Edit: shorewall is not being built from yaourt (x86_64), can't find a usable manual for trickle and niceshaper, (even ubuntu forums has unreplied "threads" about it) and can't start them coz missing config files, it seems, noone cares about ACK priority and ping in the Linux world
Last edited by Vegita (2010-02-24 19:58:07)This config file is being used on 2 computers, and not working, my speed is 8m/1m. Any ideas? I don't want to limit anything, I just want ACK's priority to set to the highest, and same with http, and get p2p apps (opn this computer ktorrent and valknut, on the other ktorrent) priority on lowest. valknut's port is 1412, ktorrents' one is 6881 on this and 24748 on the other computer. Any ideas what to modify for small ping?

QoS Traffic shaping and peak shaping
Hi,
Could somebody tell me what is the difference between traffic shaping and peak shaping?
Kind Regards.Standard traffic shaping (the shape average command) will keep the average rate of the traffic to the limit you specify, which should be the committed rate of your circuit.
Peak shaping will also do traffic shaping (using queues, etc), guaranteeing a minimum rate, but will allow traffic to levels to burst above your configured (committed) rate.
From the documentation:
Traffic shaping limits the rate of transmission of data. In addition to using a specifically configured transmission rate, you can use Generic Traffic Shaping (GTS) to specify a derived transmission rate based on the level of congestion.
You can specify two types of traffic shaping; average rate shaping and peak rate shaping. Average rate shaping limits the transmission rate to the CIR. Using the CIR ensures that the average amount of traffic being sent conforms to the rate expected by the network.
Peak rate shaping configures the router to send more traffic than the CIR. To determine the peak rate, the router uses the following formula:
peak rate = CIR(1 + Be / Bc)
where:
â¢Be is the Excess Burst size.
â¢Bc is the Committed Burst size.
Peak rate shaping allows the router to burst higher than average rate shaping. However, using peak rate shaping, the traffic sent above the CIR (the delta) could be dropped if the network becomes congested.
If your network has additional bandwidth available (over the provisioned CIR) and the application or class can tolerate occasional packet loss, that extra bandwidth can be exploited through the use of peak rate shaping. However, there may be occasional packet drops when network congestion occurs. If the traffic being sent to the network must strictly conform to the configured network provisioned CIR, then you should use average traffic shaping.
Examples
The following example sets the uses average rate shaping to ensure a bandwidth of 256 kbps:
shape average 256000
The following example uses peak rate shaping to ensure a bandwidth of 300 kbps but allow throughput up to 512 kbps if enough bandwidth is available on the interface:
bandwidth 300
shape peak 512000 -
Traffic Shaping and Priortization in ASA
Hi Everyone,
I read that traffic prioritixation is always applied outbound direction when traffic is trying to leave the ASA.
Also i read that traffic Shaping can be applied to all outgoing traffic on a interface.
need to know if traffic shaping and priortization means same thing in ASA ?
There direction is always outbound?
Regards
MAheshHello Mahesh,
Not sure I get it but let me see if I can help,
Priority traffic: Basically allows you to split the interface into 2 different queues, one for low latency traffic and the other for best effor traffic. The one being on the Priority queue will always get served first.
Traffic Shapping:It's the buffering QoS techique that allows you to configure a limit of bandwith that you will provide to a certain traffic class, when you reach that limit the traffic that goes over the limit will be placed into a software queue, where it will be "holded". That's the different between traffic shapping and policing as whit traffic policing you will drop the offending traffic, with shapping you will hold it (so this is not good for Low latency traffic).
Now regarding the direction Traffic shapping can only be done on the outbound direction as queuing is an outbound process.

MPLS Traffic Shaping/Policing on PE-CE link
Hi everyone,
We are considering to upgrade our remote sites to MPLS/VPN type of connectivity from ATM/FRASI.
Lets say we take a 10Mb link in the main office and 2-4Mb links for remote sites. Majority of servers (services) reside in main site, so majority of traffic flow will be from main site to remote sites.
1. Since CE at main site sees all the remote sites "coming" from provider's PE, how can you handle traffic shaping/policing issues on this main site CE?
2. Do you use MQC based on destination IP to apply shaping/policing configs on the CE-PE interface?
3. Is it necessary to even bother with this question?
Thank a lot.
DavidBGP contains a multitude of knobs which allow a SP to control the traffic sent on one PE-CE link as opposed to the other. One can also make use of the Link Bandwidth extended community to control how traffic is distributed among multiple egress PE-CE links.
The VPN scheme is of course compatible with the use of traffic engineering techniques (RSVP-TE based or otherwise) in the backbone network.
A PE may support additional QoS support by means of one or more of the following methods:
-i. One COS per PW End Service (PWES), mapped to a single COS PW at the PSN.
-ii. Multiple COS per PWES mapped to a single PW with multiple COS at the PSN.
-iii. Multiple COS per PWES mapped to multiple PWs at the PSN.
