22.7 Legacy Series / How to control the interface bandwidth usage evenly on egress and ingress
« on: August 11, 2022, 06:39:24 pm »
My question is similar to traffic shaping but differs slightly in terms of what I want to achieve. Let us assume 1Gbps is max bandwidth for the interface.
Requirements:
1. Allow maximum bandwidth on egress or ingress if there is not much utilization on either one.
2. When both egress and ingress wants max utilization, then allocate bandwidth evenly between them.
A simple solution is to setup traffic shaper pipe one for egress and one for ingress with 500Gbps each. But that will limit max utilization to 500Gbps and not close to 1Gbps when only one of ingress or egress is bandwidth hungry , hence not satisfying requirement 1. Requirement 2 will be satisfied by this shaper though.
Any suggestions? Or is my understanding of traffic shaper pipe bandwidth incorrect?
