Enables granular traffic classification, scalable policy design, and improved visibility for complex egress traffic-management deployments.
The ability to configure up to 16 class maps in an egress QoS policy provides these benefits:
- Improves granular traffic differentiation by allowing you to classify and apply QoS actions to a larger number of egress traffic flows within a single policy.
- Simplifies QoS policy design by reducing the need to distribute traffic classes across multiple policy maps or interfaces.
- Enables scalable service-provider QoS deployments that require distinct treatment for multiple customer, application, or transport traffic classes on high-density interfaces.
- Improves operational visibility by allowing policy statistics and counters to track a larger number of classified egress traffic classes within the same policy-map instance.
- Reduces configuration overhead by consolidating complex egress classification requirements into fewer QoS policy definitions.
- Supports advanced congestion-management and traffic-engineering deployments that require fine-grained egress queue assignment and packet treatment.
- Enhances deployment flexibility by enabling larger egress QoS policy designs without changing the existing MQC-based policy framework.
