Configuring Modular QoS Service Packet
Classification and Marking on
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers
Packet classification identifies the traffic flow and marking identifies traffic flows that require
congestion management or congestion avoidance on a data path. The Modular Quality of Service (QoS)
command-line interface (MQC) is used to define the traffic flows that should be classified, where each
traffic flow is called a class of service, or class. Subsequently, a traffic policy is created and applied to
a class. All traffic not identified by defined classes falls into the category of a default class.
This module provides the conceptual and configuration information for QoS packet classification.
