Note: The upstream traffic on a service VLAN must have the same priority value as is
set for the downstream traffic.
 Traffic coming from the network going downstream to Ethernet Trunk and Edge
ports can use class map, class rules, and policy maps to match the ingress Layer-3 value
of incoming frames and assign a corresponding P-bit (priority) value.
Some service providers' networks include core routers or aggregation switches that are
not setup to use P-bits for traffic management downstream. Instead DSCP is used for
this purpose. In these cases all traffic received by the access node has a P-Bit value of 0,
and the access node needs to set the P-bit at the network interface, or traffic internal to
the access node will be discarded at random (service unaware).
See Creating a Policy Map for L3 Priority Mapping (on page 102).
DSCP traffic classes
The DSCP traffic classes are described in RFC 2474, RFC 2597, RFC 3246, the P-Bit
construct in IEEE 802.1p. The table below shows the mapping between Traffic Classes and
P-bits:
IP DSCP
Where x is 1,2,3,4 (higher is better), and y is 1, 2, 3 (lower is better)
