I found a sample configuration for VoIP. This one contains something like
traffic-shaper OFFICE {
class 10 {
bandwidth 45%
ceiling 100%
}
}
now… the “ceiling” means, that you will never ever get more bandwidth than this specified percentage … this is clear
the question is, if you specify the 45% bandwidth … what’s the meaning of that?
the description says “A minimum 45% of this bandwidth is to be set aside for the VoIP traffic” … so assume you have NO traffic of this type. Is the bandwidth then still reserved (set aside) and cannot be used or is it then free for other classes (that’s what I assume… but… would be nice to get a clear confirmation).
so, is this value the “guaranteed” bandwidth ? …
and, followup… do I have to set the "set traffic-policy shaper bandwidth " ??
Could I create a policy to provide at least 500 kbps to my VoIP traffic (e.g.) without setting any upper limits for the line (because I don’t know them) that still allows the full bandwidth to be used by other services when no VoIP traffic is around?
