QOS - CAR

CAR or Committed Access Rate

The lab topology and requirement in the post is the same as with the QOS - GTS post.
This time it is achieved using CAR.

TOPOLOGY: R2 ------ R3 ------ R1 ------ R4

The LAB requirement is to use CAR to limit the traffic flow to R4.
Packets destined to R4 loopback (150.1.4.4) is allowed 16k and packets destined to R4 fa0/0 (155.1.148.4) is allowed only 8K.



Router_1
int fa0/0
rate-limit access-group 100 8000 1000 2000 conform-action continue exceed-action drop
rate-limit access-group 101 16000 1000 2000 conform-action continue exceed-action drop


I execute pings from R3 and R2

Router_3#ping 155.1.148.4 size 4000 repeat 1000 timeout 1
Router_2#ping 155.1.148.4 size 4000 repeat 1000 timeout 1


I now verify the rate limiting on R1

Router 1
show int fa0/0 rate-limit

FastEthernet0/0
