This section lists examples of configuration and bandwidth settings.
The following example contains marking and Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ) with Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) for VoIP. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) traffic is not treated. The example assumes a LAN Ethernet interface and a WAN Serial T1 interface. Quality of service is configured to guarantee the following:
Sample router configuration settings:
!match PCoIP packets
access-list 100 permit tcp any any eq 4172
access-list 100 permit udp any any eq 4172
class-map match-all VOIP-IN
match ip rtp 16384 16383
class-map match-all PCOIP-IN
match access-group 100
class-map match-all VOIP-OUT
match ip dscp EF
class-map match-all PCOIP-OUT
match ip dscp AF41
policy-map ETH-IN
class VOIP-IN
set ip dscp EF
class PCOIP-IN
set ip dscp AF41
policy-map SERIAL-OUT
class VOIP-OUT priority 128
class PCOIP-OUT
bandwidth 1000
class class-default
fair-queue
interface Serial 0/1
bandwidth 1544
no fair-queue
service-policy output SERIAL-OUT
!trust dscp markings coming into this router from across the WAN
!do this if you need Layer 2 COS QoS and have a DSCP-COS map defined or set COS on e0/1
mls qos trust dscp
interface Ethernet 0/1
service-policy input ETH-IN
Teradici has developed a list of recommendations for mainstream office scenarios that includes the following worker categories:

You can use these worker profiles as guidelines when planning your workload requirements in specific user scenarios.
Note: Use profiles and guidelines as a starting point | |
These general profiles and provided guidelines are only intended to provide you with a starting point to plan your deployment. User perceptions can vary wildly, and more or less bandwidth may be needed to satisfy your user performance requirements based on the operating system and specific applications being used. The information provided here should not replace real-world testing in your own environment with actual workloads. |
The following table provides example bandwidth estimates for average, video, and burst data rates for a PCoIP session. These bandwidths assume that the displays are 1920 x 1080 or a lower resolution.
Bandwidth Consumption by Worker Profile
