Configuring a QoS policy Overview A QoS policy is a set of class-behavior associations and defines the shaping, policing, or other QoS actions to take on different classes of traffic. A class is a set of match criteria for identifying traffic and it uses the AND or OR operator: • AND-A packet must match all the criteria to match the class. • OR-A packet matches the class if it matches any of the criteria in the class. A traffic behavior defines a set of QoS actions to take on packets, such as priority marking and redirect. By associating a traffic behavior with a class in a QoS policy, you apply the specific set of QoS actions to the class of traffic. Figure 5 shows how to configure a QoS policy.

Configuring a QoS policy
Overview
A QoS policy is a set of class-behavior associations and defines the shaping, policing, or other QoS
actions to take on different classes of traffic.
A class is a set of match criteria for identifying traffic and it uses the AND or OR operator:
AND
—A packet must match all the criteria to match the class.
OR
—A packet matches the class if it matches any of the criteria in the class.
A traffic behavior defines a set of QoS actions to take on packets, such as priority marking and redirect.
By associating a traffic behavior with a class in a QoS policy, you apply the specific set of QoS actions
to the class of traffic.
Figure 5
shows how to configure a QoS policy.
