We have several customers coming in on Ethernet. They are connected to L2 switch and trunked into a 7500 router via VLAN. This has worked fine so far with the use of rate-limit on the sub-interface. Most customers have 5~10mbps.
However, we are increasingly needing QoS so VoIP traffic does not drop when data traffic bursts. Only work around I know how to do is to give separate rate-limit based on IP address since most of the time VoIP has separate gateway on the customer side than the data firewall. Classification of the traffic is not a problem. The issue is, how do you give VoIP traffic priority over data traffic on a Ethernet sub-interface? Is there a good way to implement this on a 7500? If not, what Cisco hardware will work? We are on a tight budget and the number of clients are small. (dozen or so) Would going with L3 switch be better? If so, what model?
