Traffic shaping policy -default policy

[sims]

Hi, lets say we have two subnets 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24  Created a traffic shaping policy for 192.168.1.0/24  and set reverse shaper 25Mbps  (total is 50Mbps) suppose if we have not created  policy for  192.168.2.0/24  , what will happen to 192.168.2.0/24  in terms of  bandwidth  Thanks

Nothing. Other than wasting CPU time matching traffic.

Hi, Nothing means it will get the remaining  bandwidth available ? Correct  Thanks

[Toshi_Esumi]

Yes. No particular restrictions or priority changes.

One thing I can't tell is if you set like guaranteed-bandwidth in a shaper with those regulating policies while other policies, which uses the same outgoing interface in a higher priority queue, don't have shapers applied, the guaranteed-bandwidth may not be guaranteed any more. That's depending on how those all shapers are written as well as DSCP mapping config with the default queue priority. Probably nobody can tell exactly how it would behave until you simulate traffic and test it. But generally you should avoid the possibility by applying proper shapers to all policies that go out to the same interface to get predictable behaviors. At least that what I would do.
