Gene, I agree with the other posters here, that a 0 CIR will not cut it for voice... Not because the voice won't go across the link, but because every packet is marked DE and can be dropped in the frame cloud. As far as FRTS, that's pointless unless you actually get a CIR above 0......
When you say the DSCP is getting marked at 6, are you sure it's marking the DSCP as 6 or the backward-compatible 3 bits for IP Precedence at 6? It would make sense that it would mark the 3 IP precedence bits at 6 (which is very high, 7 being the highest).... Nortel ITG cards deal with IP Precedence, not the full 6-bits of DSCP. Just wanting to make sure about this.... CAR isn't going to help you accomplish anything. LLQ is fine, but there are some things to consider. If you're not doing any other fancy queueing, then you may want to look into IP RTP Priority. It's a much simpler way to setup priority for voice traffic without alot of hassle. Just apply fair-queue to the interface, then use the 'ip rtp priority' command to give the voice traffic priority... (assuming your voice traffic is using RTP) Mike W.
