Flow-based QoS

Flow-based Quality of Service (QoS) provides priority or a certain level of performance to data flows.

The high-level process for configuring flow-based QoS is as follows.
  1. Configure a class map that classifies traffic according to the traffic properties required for your flow-based QoS needs. For more information, see Configuring a class map using an ACL.
  2. Configure a policy map and associate it to the class map. For more information, see Configuring a policy map.
    Note

    Note

    Policy maps can be bound in both the ingress and egress directions.
  3. Add the QoS action to be applied on the type of flow determined by the class map. For more information, see Configuring QoS mutation map actions.
  4. Bind the policy map to an interface. For more information, see:
  5. Configure the OoS policing rate. For more information, see Configuring the QoS policing rate.
