1/6 Has anyone here ever played with end-to-end (integrated) QoS?
I'm trying to find out whether I can use it to force a client to
throttle down its bandwidth (reserving a minimum as opposed to
a maximum amount of throughput.) If so, can I do this based on
source/destination IP, as opposed to application-specific? I.e. have
the sum total bandwidth to a certain host not exceed x kbps. No, the
routing equipment doesn't do differential QoS. -John
\_ QoS has two parts, first is classification of traffic and second
is what you want to do with the different classifications. If
you're using a cisco box, you can first setup ACLs to classify the
traffic. And then shape that traffic to a specific bandwidth.
I don't understand your comments on routing equipment doesn't do
differential QoS. This has to be performed on a router.
\_ You're asking for conflicting information. You want to set a min
or a max for this client?
\_ Sorry, thought it was clear. I want to set a max, and I
don't care if it's on the client or server. -John
\_ RSVP can ignore components that don't support it. I was trying
to figure out whether integrated ("end-to-end") QoS would let
me restrict bandwidth available to client X when trying to
access server Y. Unfortunately, I think it only lets you
specify how much bandwidth a client is allowed to reserve, and
allocates for guaranteed delivery within that amount of bandwidth,
but does 'best-effort' for all traffic above and beyond that,
instead of just restricting the total bandwidth the client is
allowed to use. -John |
