Default Routing based on DSCP Value

Hi,
weŽve got 2 Uplinks defined and need to route all VOIp Traffic through Uplink2. WeŽd like to do this based on the dscp value of outr sip traffic. I found that i can make a bandwich reservation based on the dscp value but i didnt find a solution getting the traffic with dscp flag (26,46) routet to an specified interface. May someone can give me an hint how to get this working with asg 7.5? Next question would be if the defined uplink goes down. Can i defined that the traffic is the routet over the normal uplink?

Greetings Mysterious

This seems like two questions.

In 'Quality of Service', you configure priorities for traffic leaving an interface; this is not rules for routing traffic through a specific interface.

Using 'MultiPath Rules' with 'Uplink Balancing', you determine which traffic leaves from which interface. It's not possible to separate traffic by DCSP/ToS bits here, and it's not clear to me that it would work to separate VoIP traffic on different interfaces anyway.

If I understand correcly, I think you want to configure VoIP traffic 'MultiPath Rules' with 'Uplink Balancing', then put 'Quality of Service' 'Bandwidth Pools' on each of the uplink interfaces you use.

Cheers - Bob

Ok a little explanation what i need. WeŽve got an hosted voip system and our ip phones connect to it through our asg.
We are owning an cable internet connection which issnt usable for voip caused by high packet loss. Because of that we have an seperate adsl line used only for voip traffic and if the primary line fails as a backup line for all internet-traffic. if the adsl line fails we need to switch voip to our cable internet connection. All our voip phones are able to add an dscp flag to their voip trafic.My idea was to use this tag to seperate voip traffic to the adsl uplink. If this issnt possible they support vlan which would be an other opportunity to use for seperating the traffic. The last possibility would be using the ip of our pbx to create an destination rule but this would also route http traffic to our pbx over the link which wouldnŽt be the best solution because that would decrease our free voip bandwidth. Last possibility would be routing based on the sip and rtp ports i defined to my phones.

Thats my constellation for which i need a solution :-) My prefered slution whould be getting the routing decision based on a vlan or dscp tag.

The Multipath Rules would allow me to seperate Traffic on Port basis. But what happens if my ADSL Uplinks goes down. Does it than route all traffic through the remaining uplink?

Someone any idea what would be he best setup for my constellation described above?

You assign VoIP traffic to the Uplink interfaces, then you create a multipath rule for the VLAN to prefer one of the connections. If the preferred connection goes down, the other will handle it. I think there are some other things you must do, but I don't use VoIP, so maybe you can search here.
