QoS Policies 
Quality of Service Guide 41
The router supports four types of service and network QoS policies:
• Service ingress QoS policies
• Service egress QoS policies
• Network QoS policies
• Network Queue QoS policies
QoS Policy Entities
Services are configured with default QoS policies. Additional policies must be explicitly 
created and associated. There is one default service ingress QoS policy, one default service 
egress QoS policy, and one default network QoS policy. Only one ingress QoS policy and one 
egress QoS policy can be applied to a SAP or network port. 
When you create a new QoS policy, default values are provided for most parameters with the 
exception of the policy ID and queue ID values, descriptions, and the default action queue 
assignment. Each policy has a scope, default action, a description, and at least one queue. The 
queue is associated with a forwarding class. 
Service QoS policies can be applied to the following service types: 
• Epipe — Both ingress and egress policies are supported on an Epipe service access 
point (SAP).
• VPLS — Both ingress and egress policies are supported on a VPLS SAP.
• IES — Both ingress and egress policies are supported on an IES SAP.
• VPRN — Both ingress and egress policies are supported on a VPRN SAP.
Network QoS policies can be applied to the following entities:
• Network interfaces
• Apipe/cpipe/epipe/ipipe/fpipe and VPLS spoke SDPs 
• VPLS spoke and mesh SDPs
•  IES and VPRN Interface spoke SDPs
• VPRN network ingress
• VXLAN network ingress
Network QoS policies can be applied to:
• Ingress MDAs
• Egress ports
