The traffic flows of different forwarding classes are mapped to the queues. This 
mapping is user-configurable. Each queue has a unique priority. Packets from 
high-priority queues are scheduled separately, before packets from low-priority 
queues. More than one forwarding class can be mapped to a single queue. In such 
a case, the queue type defaults to the priority of the lowest forwarding class (see 
Queue Type for more information on queue type). By default, the following logical 
order is followed:
• FC-8 - NC
• FC-7 - H1
•FC-6 - EF
• FC-5 - H2
•FC-4 - L1
•FC-3 - AF
•FC-2 - L2
•FC-1 - BE
At access ingress, traffic can be classified as unicast traffic or one of the multipoint 
traffic types (broadcast, multicast, or unknown (BMU)). After classification, traffic can 
be assigned to a queue that is configured to support one of the four traffic types, 
namely: 
• unicast (or implicit) 
• broadcast 
•multicast 
• unknown
