This is the whole concept behind frame relay. The provider oversubscribes the network and this is your port speed, your CIR is the guaranteed amount even during times of congestion. Airlines do the same thing, the sell more seats on flights than they actually have. Welcome to oversubscription.
Take a look a CBWFQ, this might be a solution to your problem. Clients can use all the bandwidth until the link reaches capacity, then bandwidth is scaled back defined limits. Look for QOS mechanisms that only take affect during congestion. -----Original Message----- From: Deepak Achar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2002 7:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: bandwidth allocation problem [7:51565] hi all i have doubt Suppose we have a leased line of 2MB bandwidth between say India and US. The link is carrying more than 5 clients, using the concept of Multiplexer. The question is if a client is allocated a bandwidth of 512k out of 2MB, is it possible to use a part of the bandwidth which is allocated to client when that client is not using the whole bandwidth. but this bandwidth adjustment should not be known to the client. If the client's traffic reaches the whole bandwidth, he should be given the whole bandwidth. suppose client is using only 256k out of 512k which is allocated to him. is it possible to allocate the remaining 256k to other purpose. if yes how can it be done. once the client traffic reaches 512k, the bandwidth which was taken from the client should be freed dynamically. thanks deepak Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=51578&t=51565 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
