Configuring Quality of Service 5-11
v1.0, May, 2008
Packets are classified and processed based on defined criteria. The classification criteria is defined
by a class. The processing is defined by a policy's attributes. Policy attributes may be defined on a
per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. A policy
can contain multiples classes. When the policy is active, the actions taken depend on which class
matches the packet.
Packet processing begins by testing the class match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a
packet when a class match within that policy is found.
