Assigning a Class of Service to Policy Role
How a packet is treated as it transits the link can be configured in the
CoS. It is
through a CoS that
QoS is implemented. A CoS can be configured
for the following values:
- 802.1p priority
- IP Type of Service (ToS) rewrite value
- Priority Transmit Queue (TxQ) along with a forwarding behavior
- Inbound rate limiter per transmit queue
- Outbound rate shaper per transmit queue
CoS configurations are identified by a numeric value between 0 - 255. 0 - 7 are fixed 802.1p
CoS configurations. CoS configurations 8 - 255 are user configurable. Policy uses the cos option
followed by the CoS configuration ID value to associate a CoS with a policy role.
