Well consider I have TenGig connection to my distribution, and customers are terminated to VLAN subinterfaces. Now, obviously the router has no clue what is actual speed of each VLAN. So lets say I have 2M corporate connection in one VLAN. To guarantee voice quality for that 2M customer, I'd need first shape it to 2M then inside that 2M space, I'd need to prioritize VoIP. Of course, if at all possible, QoS should be done in the port facing the customer. Be it DSLAM port or Switch port, then you don't have to care about QoS in aggregation/PE level and can get significant cost savings. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
