Network Shaping Through A Server?
May 22, 2012
I recently upgraded my AT&T dsl connection from 3.0Mbps to 18Mbps and I'm ready to fully optimize my network. Some bandwidth intensive programs, such as netflix and youtube, can hog all that bandwidth relatively quickly, so what I want to do is limit/reserve bandwidth to each individual computer on my network so online games and latency-oriented programs still function at an acceptable level. I have my connection running as follows: modem (controls dhcp) --> bridged connection server pc (2 nics) --> router --> every other device on the network. It all works beautifully except my router doesn't have QoS software on it therefore, I can't do the limiting there. Is there any way to use the server pc as a network shaping device, controlling downstream traffic? I've googled and come up with nothing definitive as people don't seem to do this very often.

What's the good, inexpensive way to add traffic shaping to a small network? Let's say there are about 20 users on a T1 circuit. Existing router is an Adtran 3430 (from the telco so we can't touch it). Everything works fine except when they get really heavy with uploads/downloads when document scanning, and the telnet sessions to the mainframe app start getting dropped. Major PITA. Basically need to make telnet traffic a priority.Now, I could drop a pfSense box in there using an old workstation, but I'd like something I can stick in a rack, or is at least really small and hopefully under $200 or so.

I am a traffic shaping newcomer and need some guidance as how to BEGIN to approach a problem with traffic. We have been rolling out Windows 7 at sites and the additional traffic it causes on installation is considerable as it has to request information from our central site to populate My Documents and Outlook mailboxes.This has caused some problems on sites as there traffic rates increase to the point that QoS is not sufficient to protect voice traffic and delays and one-way audio are being experienced.One question is this - is GTS a solution or is CBWFQ within GTS the solution or is something else preferable? The sites involved are data/voice with a variety of routers.Second question is this - if we have a remote site with a 3725 router as the WAN aggregator with one 4506/Sup IV and one Cat 3550-24-PWR the shaping should be best placed on the 3725, correct? Also, are there issues with shaping incoming/outgoing traffic as I seem to have read?FYI, the 3725 router has 12.4(8d) with IP VOICE/NO CRYPTO IOS version. The 4506 has 12.1(23)E4 with basic L3 feature set.

We are looking to implement a bandwidth policy for our Internet link. What i would like to know is if we use a policing policy, will the exceeded dropped packets be resubmitted from the source? Will the dropped packets be resubmitted? Are there any differences besides this when using either policing or shaping policies? Is one better than the other?

I try to setup a basic GTS shaping on a cisco ISR G2 2900
Cisco IOS Software, C2900 Software (C2900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.2(4)M3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
Cisco CISCO2901/K9 (revision 1.0) with 1957856K/40960K bytes of memory.
ipbase ipbasek9 Permanent ipbasek9
the policy-map was applied to a svi interface (vlan interface)
And my problem is the shape isn't effective, in my attempt the max bw is 20Mb and I have gigabit interface
I know this kind of setup is classic and I see it working on older ios version 12.x
config:
interface VlanX
ip address X X
no ip redirects

I have a 3825 with a 1Gb fiber card at one of my sites. Our ISP and MPLS provider hand off a single gigabit fiber to us that contains 2 50MB EVC's.I need to apply QoS to one of the EVC's and shape them both to 50Mb to avoid upstream rate mismatch bottlenecks. Both of the EVC's generally only push 10Mb during business hours.When I run UDP stream tests (various rates from 500k-6m that are marked as AF41) to one of my other sites I am consistently getting about 2% packet loss, despite the fact the circuit isn't even close to 50% saturation. When I remove Shaping and QoS all together, the issue nearly clears itself up, except during peak hours and I get small bursts of packet loss, which is still unacceptable.When the pipe is at near zero utilization (after hours) there also is no packet loss with or with out the shaping/qos applied.

There is a remote server that downloads info from a server here at HQ. When the dowloads start the rxload on the S0/0/0 interface jumps to 98 percent or so; rxload 250/255. I needed to limit the bandwidth utilization between the servers, so I added the below line to the LAN interface on the remote router.By adding the command, it reduced the download utilization -which is what I wanted.
access-list 185 permit ip host 10.6.27.1 any
!
int f0/0
traffic-shape group 185 10000 8000 8000 1000
Question:How would applying this to the LAN interface cause the download utilization (Coming from s0/0/0) to decrease?

We have an ISP connection that is connected via an ethernet interface on a 5510 ASA. We are allotted 10Mbps. I have currently have the interface set to 10Mbps Full. However we want to upgrade the connection to 25Mbps. I know I can set the port speed to 100Mbps and then set a shape/police statement and shape down to 25Mbps.
Management wants to be able to call the ISP and arbitrarily adjust that speed up temporarily at any time without any user/admin intervention on our side. I can simply leave the port at 100Mbps i.e. no shape statement on my side however I will run into problems with large amounts drops, overruns, retransmissions, etc due to the ISP shaping the connection speed during normal operations. However they then could then adjust the speed at any time without needing me.
I do not know the best way to make this work. Is there some sort of dynamic/smart shaper in the ASA or another cisco device?

I want to take 100Mb incoming from a service provider and police it off into several VRFs for customers.One of these VRFs will be 30M.I further need to traffic shape this (30Mb) out to 40 x 0.75Mbps (burstable to 30M) customers.
I am using an ASR1001.

I have a 3800 running 12.4 with a outbound shaped nest Qos tied to a subinterface G0/0.12 which is trunk downstream to a 3500. I am getting drops on the "sh policy-manager inter g0/0.12 so know that shaping which is 1.5mbps is dropping my packets. The 3500 looks clean
3800:
policy-map A
class-map A
bandwidth 30% etc..
[Code]....
the routing is that host goes up to the 3800 and out a wan link but if wan is down, it hairpins back down from 3800 to 3500 which has a backup link on one of the ports. when we test wan down, or even when it is up, I see shape dropping packets

I have a client who has Cisco 3800 series routers in their data centre with which they have QoS/CoS policies implemented. They wish to further manage traffic by limiting outbound traffic to their branch sites in line with the network access bandwidth each site has available. Is this possible whilst leaving the QoS policies in place? If so how?

There around 70 remote sites and head end is of 200 Mbps MPLS WAN link..
Platform: 7206VXR, IOS: 12.4(15)T7
The QOS configuration at present is attached..
At the head end, we would like to shape based on remote sites bandwidth. Having said that, how many classes should I create to achieve this? Is there any other simplified way of achieving this ?
Remote Site MPLS bandwidth

I have following scenario - router 2911 connected to 2950 switches with about 80 vlans. How can I limit speed on each of the 79 vlans (to equal % acros all of them) and give vlan 80 lets say 30% of total bandtwith. Since I am new to QOS, can you point me to the right website or give me example.

I am trying to get ride of an old traffic management appliance and would like to replace it by a simple Cisco 3845.
The configuration is really simple:
Customers -- Router 3845 -- Internet
I want to be able to provide bundles to customer such 64kps garanteed/ 2mbps MIR (retail) and 2mbps garanteed no MIR (business).
I need also to specify to the router the total internet bandwitdh available (example: 20mbps symetrical).
This configuration will work ? Should I worry about any performance issue if I start to have a lot of customers ?
ip access-list extended Cust1

I am suggesting an ASR1001 as a head end router for a small hub spoke WAN consisting of 4 branch sites connecting to the head via LES. 3 are 100mb, one is 30 mb. I will be connecting the LES circuits to a swithc and then trunking to the router. I would like to apply outbound shaping to these 4 subinterfaces on the router, and just want to check this is supported?

We are a new medical school located in PA. Just have just completed a new building and are now working on getting our network finished. Here is the situation we have a 50MB Internet Connection that comes into our network that then hits the ISPs Cisco 3750 which sends it to two of our Cisco 3750s for redundancy. From the 3750 goes into our Cisco 6509 with a FWSM module, then out from there to our distribution switches which are all Cisco 2960s.
What we would like to do is to control how much WAN connectivity each of our VRFs get. Right now we have a Faculty, Student, and Research VRF formed, and are trying to figure out the best spot where we can say Faculty gets 30MB of Bandwidth, Students gets 10, and Research gets 10. If possible would like burst capabilities.

I am trying to do policy on the interfaces of my switch WS-4507R, below the configuration I used to shap the traffic to 1 Mbps. However, when I tested it the traffic excceded the 1 Mbps.
class-map match-all 1MB
match access-group name 1MB
!
policy-map 1MB
class 1MB
[code]...
how I can restrict my bandwidth on the interface on 1 Mbps.

I have a 2921 where I am shaping some traffic based on sub net on my lan. I have applied the shaping policy to the lan interface in the outgoing direction.
Topology is as follows:
ISP - ASA - ROUTER - LAN
Policy map:
Policy Map shape-lan
[code]....
I am seeing a lot of no-buffer drops on the policy and I am wondering what the best solution is to solve this:
Class-map: tc-class (match-any)
8730680 packets, 10803689863 bytes
5 minute offered rate 4453000 bps, drop rate 0 bps
[code]....
Should I just be increasing the queue-limit or should I be changing something else?

I have lots of PPPoE users that get Virtual Access interfaces created upon login based on a virtual template. I need to traffic shape them. I know how to get it to work on an individual basis, because the policing within a service policy works fine. As soon as i change it to shaping it leaves things wide open.I really dont care how it gets done, I just need to be able to specify a speed to be traffic shaped and apply that to a virtual template. I need to limit speeds on the download and upload, i understand that the upload i will use the policing, but the download i need it to smooth out the flow and be traffic shaped, not policed.
Here is my Policies and classes:
***
policy-map CHILD class class-default bandwidth 1650policy-map PARENT class class-default shape average 1650000 service-policy CHILD****
Here is my Virtual Template:
****
interface Virtual-Template8 description pppoe-auth-FTTH ip unnumbered FastEthernet0/0 ip access-group subs-in-FTTH in ip mtu 1493 timeout absolute 6120 0 peer default ip address pool FTTH-POOL ppp authentication pap pppoe-auth ppp authorization pppoe-auth ppp timeout idle 84600 service-policy output PARENT
[code]....
The results i am getting is unrestrcited throughput, i am seeing about 40mb of throughput when the target is to limit to 1.65MB. As you can see from the output the PARENT class is seeing 279116 packets, but the shaper only saw 59. In all the examples i see on the internet these two numbers should be the same. Why is the shaper not acting on all the traffic crossing that class/policy?

I am configuring a 3560 to provide internet access for our customers and I need to make sure they don't use more bandwidth than they have contracted for.I see that the 3560 supports the rate-limit command, but was told that I should use traffic shaping and policing along with access lists to manage the bandwidth.Is there a reason that I should avoid using the rate-limit command - it looks much simpler.

ASA 5520 can handle 2 ISP? not to load balance or not standby/active but to use the 2 ISP at the same time and separately. for example, ISP_A who has 10m will be dedicated to the customer A/VLAN A, then ISP_B who has 4m will be for the rest of the customer's traffic. Can the ASA 5520 do traffic shaping or policy map just like in a normal router?

We have some ASR WAN routers which have a dedicated 400M interface to a remote site.
Servers on our Local network source the data through some firewalls via 10G interfaces, which connects to 4500X WAN switches then to the Routers on 1G links.
The sources are rate limiting the traffic but the routers are periodically dropping packets which I think is mostly due to burstiness in the traffic between as it traverses through from 10G links to 1G then to 400M.
How to setup traffic shaping on the 4500X outbound port to our WAN routers.I'd like to see if we could buffer and smoothe out the traffic as it exits the 4500X WAN switch 1G port to the WAN Routers.

We are looking to implement traffic shaping/policing primarily for P2P traffic. As natively the ASA5550 is only capable of p2p inspection if the traffic is tunneled via port 80 is the AIP-SSM the way forward? We have 2 5550s in active/active failover config. As a side note we are also looking to implement an IDS/IPS system so could this module cover all?Is this module going to provide the desired outcome or is there another module/device out there better suited for this? I would prefer to use the ASA5550s as opposed to implementing another product if only that we can make use of the investment we already made on these devices.

I am trying to come up with the best way to traffic shape traffic with 3750 Me switches. the traffic will be coming from a 6504 Sup-7203b downstream and going out the wan. Core---L3---->6504--intvlan80--trunkport to--->3750Me---g/1/1/1-trunkport to---MetroE network--->int f0/0.80--branch router. The idea is to use the 3750 to traffic shape the traffic going towards the wan/branch to 500 to match the contracted rate and then to use qos on shaped rate. I tried to apply it to g1/1/1 using port based policies but it did not shape the traffic. I changed everything to IP interfaces and it worked. I need to break up the metroe into different vlans so I can bring branch offices in on different vlans.c
