We are currently in the testing phase of two separate projects involving
voice and/or video over IP over frame relay.  Many months ago when we
began planning these projects I began researching my QoS options. 
Almost without fail everyone suggested using LLQ/CBWFQ so that is the
approach I took.

It seems to work just fine and I don't see any problems with it. 
However, while working on some video issues a TAC engineer informed me
that LLQ doesn't work for voice/video over frame relay. 
"Hmmm....Interesting,"  I said.  "It sure seems to be working!"  He's
supposed to be sending a CCO link that explains why it doesn't work even
though it's working.

Perhaps my configuration is not the intended use of LLQ but it seems to
work just fine.  I think the issue they have is that attaching a service
policy to the major interface has implications when you're really using
frame relay subinterfaces.  However, it works great in my experience.

Anyway, I'm doing some more reading and it seems that CCO suggests the
use of ip rtp priority when running VoIPoFR, instead of trying to
configure LLQ.  Have any of you had experience with these?  Have you had
better luck with one mechanism compared to the other?

And how about adding frame relay fragmentation?  The links in question
are T-1s so it doesn't appear to be necessary, but it might be a little
bit helpful.  Any suggestions there?

I can see one major downside to using only ip rtp priority:  there's no
way to see if it's even operating without turning on debugging.  With
LLQ I can use simple show commands to see which packets are hitting
which policy.

Any advice from the pros?

Thanks,
John
