With packet information pre-extraction enabled, an IPsec tunnel interface buffers the IP 5-tuple data 
in the original packets, so that the corresponding physical interface can perform QoS processing 
such as traffic classification, IP precedence setting, rate limit, and congestion avoidance.  
To implement QoS for IPsec packets, however, you also need to apply a QoS policy to the physical 
outbound interface. For more information about how to apply a QoS policy to a physical interface, 
see HPE FlexNetwork MSR Router Series Comware 5 ACL and QoS Configuration Guide.  
 
 
IMPORTANT: 
When the QoS policy applied to the physical outbound interface provides congestion management,
IPsec packets arriving at the destination might be out of order. This might cause IPsec out of order 
to be dropped by the IPsec anti-replay function. For more information, see "Configuring the IPsec 
anti-replay function."

Applying a QoS policy to an IPsec tunnel interface 
The device allows you to apply a QoS policy to the IPsec tunnel interface. In this case, QoS is 
performed before IPsec encapsulation, and the priority of a resulting packet is the same as that of the 
original packet. In addition, the QoS congestion management is done to the packets before 
encapsulation, avoiding the disorder of IPsec packets. 
This method is much more explicit and flexible than the QoS implementation method of enabling 
packet information pre-extraction on the IPsec tunnel interface, which requires applying a QoS policy 
to the physical outbound interface. 
To apply a QoS policy to an IPsec tunnel interface: 
 
Step Command  Remarks

3.  Apply a QoS policy to 
the IPsec tunnel 
interface.
