lists the types of traffic on the Cisco 10000 series router that are subject to QoS policies.
ATM Virtual Circuits Without QoS Policies
For all ATM virtual circuits (VCs) that do not have a class-default class configured with a shape service
policy (the
shape
command is configured), the Cisco 10000 series router limits the transmission rate of
the VC to the interface bandwidth minus the sum of the shape rates of other VCs on the interface that do
have service policies.
For example, if you have two VCs on a 150-Mbps interface and VC1 has a shaped service policy of
90 Mbps and VC2 does not have a service policy, the router polices VC2 to 60 Mbps (150 minus 90).
You can change this default behavior by using a shaped service policy on either the VC or the interface:
•
If you apply the shaped service policy to a single VC that is not an unshaped UBR VC, the router
applies the specified bandwidth to only that specific VC.
By default, the router first allocates bandwidth to the VBR VCs and then allocates any bandwidth
leftover to unshaped UBR VCs. To override this default behavior, apply a service policy to the
unshaped UBR VC using an hierarchical shaping policy. For more information, see
Chapter 13,
“Defining QoS for Multiple Policy Levels.”
•
If you apply the policy to an interface, the router applies the specified bandwidth to all of the VCs
on the interface that do not have their own service policies.
