Hi I would like to comment here briefly I had an interest in a similar functionality and found in discussion with Robert (thanks for the info Rob) That although you can guarantee bandwidth and pass policed normal IP traffic on a MPLS-TE tunnel (not hugely scalable) You cannot at present pass already policed and marked packets which are MPLS labelled within an MPLS VPN over a specific bandwidth guaranteed tunnel based on EXP field so if someone wanted to create an MPLS-VPN say for GRX services and guarantee SIP across it you would have to rely on normal queuing mechanisms and be sure to put enough fat in the network in order to guarantee bandwidth is available Lets hope that soon we have the ability to do MPLS-VPN over MPLS-TE Regards Hill -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Lewis [mailto:chrlewis@cisco.com] Sent: 28 January 2002 02:57 To: saqibj@margallacomm.com Cc: mpls-ops@mplsrc.com Subject: Re: Guaranteed QoS using MPLS? With the caveat that the amount of traffic the application will send is known prior to the network being setup to service that level of traffic, yes. Try http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/mpls/mpls_techdoc.shtml This link shows how this can be done on Cisco networks by combining diff serv QoS and MPLS traffic engineering capabilities. This combination used to be called Guaranteed bandwidth services, but was changed to diff-serv aware traffic engineering. For this to work properly, a policer at ingress is necessary for the traffic eningeered tunnels to really function as you want.
