Class-based QoS
Class-based QoS is a new method for delivering QoS commands.
This method divides QoS commands into three parts:
Traffic classifier
− Identifies the packets conforming to some features by using
a certain rule.
Traffic behavior
− A set of QoS behaviors performed for packets.
Traffic policy
− Combination of traffic classifier and traffic behavior.

Traffic Classifier
The traffic classifier command is used to define the traffic
classification rule.
Traffic classifier is based on the ACL but different from the ACL..
The classification is based on the following:
Precedence of the packet
Protocol type
MAC address
Inbound interface
VLAN precedence
Port number

Traffic Policy
A traffic policy associates the traffic classifier with the traffic
behavior.
Traffic policies can be nested.
The behavior of a parent policy is realized by child policies.
Currently, the device supports two layers of nesting.

2.2.2.2
RTA RTB RTC RTD
3.3.3.3
On RTA, the flows are classified into three classes: AF11, AF21, and EF
On RTB:
Allocate 5% bandwidth to AF11 flow.
Re-mark the AF21 flow to AF22 and allocate 5% bandwidth to it.
Guarantee low delay and jitter of the EF flow and allocate 30%
bandwidth for it.
