Hey guys,
I apologize in advance if this is a novice inquiry, but our company just switched from Point-to-Point T1's to Metro Ethernet.
On one point-to-point, from our main office to one of our high profile locations, we had two bonded T1's. Now this site has a 3 Mbps Metro-E link, but it's being over-saturated. I don't know what type of QOS implementation our T1 provider had, but it prevented flooding. Now, I'm getting horrendous latency as the office peak hours approach since there is no QOS on the mesh by our Metro-E providers.
Ultimately, my question is: what's the best way to set a FastEthernet port on a Cisco 1800 series router to limit all bandwidth to 3 Mbps? At the moment, I don't have a preference in which traffic takes priority.
I tried the rate-limit command, along with a speed calculator I found online, but that slowed the network down immensely. Thanks in advance, and feel free to ask any questions for information that I may have left out.
