Expedited Forwarding (EF) is defined in RFC 2598 and falls under the DSCP Class 5 (CS5).
EF has the characteristics of low delay, low loss and low jitter. These characteristics are
suitable for voice, video and other realtime services. EF traffic is often given strict priority
queuing above all other traffic classes. The RFC recommended DSCP value for EF
corresponds to a DSCP value of 46.
Best Effort (BE) is indicated by a DiffServ value of 0.
Example 1: Single DSCP value mapping to CoS 5
1. Create class map (CoS 5).
Create class rule:
Match pbit pbit-any
Match Outer 100
Match Inner ignore
Match DSCP 40 (equates to CS5)
2. Create policy map (CoS 5)
Create Policy: class map (CoS 5), Out pbit 5
3. Associate the policy map to the Ethernet port interface.
Example 2: Multiple DSCP value mapping
1. Create class maps and add rules.
a. Create class map (mix1)
create rule 1: match tag 101, match-dscp af11
b. Create class map (mix2)
create rule 1: match tag 102, match-dscp cs2
c. Create class map (mix3)
create rule 1: match-dscp af33
d. Create class map (mix4)
create rule 1: match tag 201, match-dscp cs4
e. Create class map (mix5)
create rule 1: match tag 202, match-dscp ef
f. Create class map (mix6)
create rule 1: match tag 203, match-dscp cs6
g. Create class map (mix7)
create rule 1: match tag 207, match-dscp 56
