4.10.4.5.7 Multicast QoS Profile
The Multicast QoS Profile is the QoS Profile to be used for mulicast and broadcast
messages.
The QoS Profile must be one of the names that exist in the database after being
defined using the QoS Profile menu.
4.10.4.5.8 Forwarding Rule Class
A read-only parameter (available only in Show menu) indicating whether the
Forwarding Rule is Local or Global. Global Forwarding Rules cannot be either
updated or deleted.
4.10.4.6 Priority Classifiers (L2 and PPPoE Service Type)
The Priority Classifier defines the QoS Profiles to be allocated to users/sessions
differentiated by DSCP or 802.1p priority classifiers. Priority Classifiers are not
applicable to Voice Service Profiles.
Each Priority Classifier can define up to 4 uplink and 4 downlink QoS profiles.
The Priority Classifier menu enables viewing all Local and Global Priority
Classifiers in the database, defining new Priority Classifiers (that will be added to
the database as Local Priority Classifiers), editing details of previously defined
Local Priority Classifiers and removing Local Priority Classifiers from the
database.
The Priority Classifiers database can hold up to 255 Priority Classifiers.
The Priority Classifier's parameters are:
4.10.4.6.1 Priority Classifier Name
A Priority Classifier Name consists of up to 32 printable characters.
4.10.4.6.2 Priority Type
The prioritization mechanism used by the Priority Classifier.
The available options are:
1 - DSCP
NOTE
DSCP based Priority Classifiers are applicable only to IP or ARP traffic. It is not applicable to
PPPoE and other Ethernet type traffic.
If a Priority Classifier is not applicable for a certain traffic (e.g. DSCP based profile with PPPoE
traffic or 802.1p based profile with traffic that do not use VLAN tags), no prioritization scheme will be
in effect and quality of service will be determined by the first QoS Profile in the applicable lists.
