Overview
The remark policies are used to configure the marking behavior for the system at the egress of
access SAP or access uplink port. These policies allow the user to define the forwarding class to
egress marking values and allow them to use the available hardware resources efficiently. Based
on the packet encapsulation used, the remark policy allows the user to define and associate
appropriate policies to service egress, and network QoS policies applied to access-uplink port.
• dot1p - Used for service egress policy, and network qos (policy of type port).
• dscp - Used for service egress and network qos (policy of type port)
• dot1p-dscp used for service egress and network qos (policy of type port)
The type of the remark policy identifies the bits marked in the packet header. Each of these remark
policy types can be associated with only appropriate QoS policies and service entities as listed in
Table 48.

Remark Policy
Type
Qos Policy Attachment Point Packet Header Bits Marked
dot1p Service Egress Policy Access SAP egress • Dot1p bits and optionally
the DEI bits, in the L2
header for service packets
sent out of an Access SAP.
Network policy Access-uplink Port • Dot1p bits and optionally
the DEI bits, in the L2
header for service packets
sent out of an access-uplink
port (all packets sent out of
all access-uplink SAPs are
marked).
