I wanted to get this group's opinion on an approach I am going to use in a QoS test. I apologize in advance if the solution to this problem is obvious. We have to show that we can guarantee a point-to-point committed information rate (PCIR) to a user. SLAs should include a bandwidth to be meaningful. There are two kinds of CIR, a network CIR where you are guaranteeing that a user can send or receive a certain bandwidth to anywhere in the internet (hose model), or a PCIR where you are guaranteeing a certain bandwidth between two or more sites. The problem is, there has to be a way for the router to know when a packet is associated with that PCIR. The options we see are to either a) have a special DSCP just for PCIR flows, or b) program the router with an Access Control List (ACL) entry that inspects each packet. If the packet matches a specific source/destination then it gets sent to a queue (an AF queue for example) that is dedicated to PCIR. Is there any other way around this? Thanks, John Evans DoD
