Sorry to reply so late; Does multicast traffic has a different behavior? Because on our 6509, the multicast traffic is forwarded to a FlexWan interface using PFC:
(10.x.x.xxx, 239.xxx.xx.xx) Incoming interface: Vlan11, Packets switched: 18682651 Hardware switched outgoing interfaces: AT6/0/0.110 AT6/0/0.213 Hs6/1/0 RPF-MFD installed (10.x.x.xxx, 239.xxx.xx.xx), 1w3d/00:02:57, flags: T Incoming interface: Vlan11, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0, RPF-MFD Outgoing interface list: Hssi6/1/0, Forward/Sparse-Dense, 1w1d/00:02:37, H "Cohen, Michael" @groupstudy.com em 24/01/2003 10:04:08 Favor responder a "Cohen, Michael" Enviado Por: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Assunto: RE: Traffic Shaping and LLQ on MSFC's and RSM's [7:61575] Cisco TAC states that traffic to and from the FlexWan has to be routed through the MSFC and not just the PFC. This allows for the use of LLQ. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Cohen, Michael Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 1/24/03 8:43 AM Subject: RE: Traffic Shaping and LLQ on MSFC's and RSM's [7:61575] Could you tell me the behavior with FlexWan?

I also double-checked with Cisco TAC and you guys are right. No LLQ on MSFC's or RSM's unless you're using FLEXWAN's. Thanks again... -Michael Cohen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 1/23/03 10:41 AM Subject: RE: Traffic Shaping and LLQ on MSFC's and RSM's [7:61575] Once I tried to use LLQ on the MSFC to priorize audio multicast traffic. The command 'sh mls ip multicast' (a tip from a groupstudy guy) showed that the multicast traffic was going through the PFC, so the LLQ was not helping.

Here's the answer Cisco's TAC gave me. Since the msfc interfaces are software based, the MLS engine will bypass the route processor on most of your layer 3 packets. This prevents the shaping/policing policy from being applied on all egress traffic. You can, however, successfully apply the policies to all ingress traffic because it must travel thru the Layer 3 process before it is sent to the destination node. So, if you're applying a service-policy to a msfc interface it must be applied with "input" as the direction. I'm not sure what effect disabling MLS would have on this process but I'm sure the benefits (if there would be any) would not be worth it. You can however use QoS policies on the layer 2 modules with acl mapping to achieve much of the same benefits. jh Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
