On router1 and router2 eoip-tunnel and vlan interfaces bridged.
My issue is on Router2: How to give higher priority (and limit) to traffic passing between routers 1 and 3 instead of router4.
is that meant that we can repeat that on many routers “at the tunnel” if we replace router2 with a track of routers.
in general we have 4 routers between router1 and router3. the main idea is to garantee some Internet bandwidth to another router/customer behind router1.
yeah, probably diagram does not exlplain good as well. both sites router1 and 3 ends with ethernet ifaces. so, on these interfaces have created vlan, eoip and they bridged at last. customer that have to be prioritized is behind router1, i.e. his out interface attached to a switch with interface on router1. also there are many users on the same switch. at the same time we have many customers/routers attached on a switch with router4. router 4 have also other interfaces, etc…
in one word, we wanna give high priority to a customer/router atached on a switch “behind” router1. is it possible to garantee some (Internet) bandwidth with that web of connections on router2 and “in the midle” of the tunnel.
why not just prioritize traffic from router1 to router3 and vice versa?
it is if you do not have other eoip between r1 and r3. if you have any - you should ‘break’ it to have control of the passing traffic. so in that case you better use bridged vlan interfaces, as i mentioned in the begnning
but what is goin’ on “in the middle of the tunnel”… as i wrote above actually we have several routers @router2 … a tones of connections etc… practically user prioritized @router3, but in case of some overload ping times increases, even packet loss etc.
