A summary of the major functions performed by the QoS policies is listed in Table 2.

Policy Type Applied at… Description Page
Service Ingress Access SAP
ingress
• Defines up to 32 forwarding class meters and meter parame-
ters for traffic classification.
• Defines match criteria to map flows to the meters based on
any one of the criteria (IP or MAC or both IP and MAC).
64
Access Egress Access port • Defines up to 8 forwarding class queues and queue parame-
ters for traffic classification.
• Maps forwarding classes to the queues.
• Defines FC to remarking values.
• Defines CIR levels and PIR weights that determines how the
queue gets prioritized by the scheduler.
64
Egress Rate Access and
Access-uplink
Configures the maximum bandwidth available for traffic sent
out of a specified port.
Accounting
Mode
Device Level Sets the accounting mode to packet-based or frame-based for
ingress and egress QoS policies
Network Access uplink
ports
• At ingress, defines Dot1p to FC mapping and 12 meters.
• At egress, defines FC to remarking values (For example:
IEEE 802.1p).
Network
Queue
Access uplink
ports
• Defines forwarding class mappings to network queues and
queue characteristics for the queues.
42
Slope Port Queues • Enables or disables the high-slope, low-slope, and non-TCP
parameters within the egress pool.
98
Port scheduler Access and
Access-uplink
• Defines the parameters for the port scheduler. 103
