Hello all.
I have a general question about QoS. More specifically
the wording on Policy Maps.
The way I understand it is when I am requested to
"limit" or "set the maximum" amount of a given type of
traffic in/out a port I would use the "police"
parameter under an policy map.
IE:
policy-map test
class class-default
police 2500000
When I am asked to guarantee a "minimum" amount of
traffic, I would use the "bandwidth" parameter
IE:
policy-map test
class class-default
bandwidth 2000000
Finally, when I need to "shape" a give type of traffic
I'd use the "shape average" parameter
IE:
policy-map test
class class-default
shape average 2000000
So my question is more about the wording. I have seen
answers of scenarios that use both "police" and "shape
average" to set a maximum amount of traffic. What's
the difference then?
Can someone please provide any feedback about this?
THX in advance!
