When configuring the Quality of Service (QoS) policies, adequate bandwidth must exist for all required applications.

he sum of all bandwidth used on each ma!or application represents the minimum bandwidth requirement for any given lin". his should consume no more than #$ percent of the total bandwidth available on that lin". When there is available bandwidth that the total amount intended (or configured) to be used, the router will not apply the service policy. %or manifestations of the problem, refer to the bolded lines in this example&
! policy-map TSA-ATM class TSA-LEVEL-1 bandwidth percent 50 queue-limit 100 class TSA-ATM-LEVEL-2 bandwidth percent 25 class TSA-ATM-LEVEL-3 bandwidth percent 15 class class-default fair-queue queue-limit 100 ! interface ATM1 !MA1"#0 point-to-point description TSA case collection connection $Local V%!

With the bandwidth percent configured, 'isco ()S* Software determines the percent based off the Sustainable 'ell +ate (S'+) value in the vbr,nrt statement. (n this case, the value is -$./". his is how bandwidth wor"s&

-$./ times $0 percent 1 #/2" -$./ times 3$ percent 1 .24" -$./ times -$ percent 1 3.0" #/2 plus .24 plus 3.0 1 -.23

o add these percentages& -$./ times ($0 plus 3$ plus -$) percent 1 -$./ times 50 percent 1 -.23.

he router determines the available bandwidth to be used as being #$ percent of the S'+. (n this case, the amount of bandwidth available would be -$./ times #/2 1 --$3. his is less than the bandwidth configured for use (-.23). herefore, the router will not apply the service policy. %or a wor"around to this problem, issue the max-reserved-bandwidth command. +efer to these examples&
