Hi all.
I spent quite some time doing tests as part of another CBWFQ thread, and I
want to post this to everyone.
Although it's around 25 pages long, a lot of it are pictures and tables. It
should really shed light on how QoS works, and what we are actually QoSing.
Some points there:
- you can really see why we need QoS on LAN
- you can see how max-reserved-bandwidth command does not have any influence
on queueing
- a glimpse of internal CBWFQ operation
- class-default starvation, where even with a tiny reservation to another
class will not let any traffic in class-default through (in older IOS)
