IOS Firewall Feature - QoS

[nedbert9]

This question is concerning QoS, specifically Weighted Fair Queueing.

I have a large number of users and a T1 terminated on a Cisco 1721 with IOS FW.

I am wondering if using WFQ on the T1 interface would be the best QoS option if I just want to ensure that all users have equal access to the bandwidth. I don't need to classify or prioritize any particular traffic.

Also, I was wondering if WFQ can be implemented on an Ethernet sub interface.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi,
You don't need Queuing on an ethernet, because it is fast enough to handle the T1 traffic.
You need WFQ on the T1 side to give each flow the same amount of bandwidth. With FIFO the flows with the biggest packets are the winners.
