Hi Maher: Have you tried using diffserv. If these are sensitive application and you offer Platinum,gold,silver and Bronze. Then perhaps a silver or gold VPN (this would be the simplest for testing)? Alternately if they have a single VPN then perhaps you can allocate certain amount of bandwidth - say silver to test out if this helps - this would require additional configurations bot at CE and customer router. Consider getting the answers to some of these: - When you say it is taking longer for the retrieval - perhaps setting up logging at HQ and Branch office to see what is causing the delay. - How does the application server compare in response time when accessed locally from within the HQ? - How is the bandwidth utilization at the time of the delay? - Monitoring the behavior at application level with something like Packeteer? I hope this helps - I will watch the listserv with great interest to see what others have to say and how it will be resolved.

FYI, issues/behaviours of the application complained from the customers site trying to access server in HQ. From the branches, customers experience some delay uppon in retrieveing the information and uploading information such as for CRM, databases and etc. I'm not so sure that which QOS technique should be applied to this called sensitive application especially in mpls vpn enviroment. thanks. maher Mooney Sherman wrote: > Hi Maher: > > I have seen similar concerns on this forum before but I am still having difficulty grasping what the issues are with sensitive applications?
