Hi all,

I'm studying QOS and have a question about when I should reuse a defined
class or create a new class-map.

Consider the following config's in which voice traffic is marked with ip
prec 5 on the input int and prioritized on the output int:

****** 1st config ********

access-list 100 permit udp any any range 16384 32 767

class-map voice
   match access-group 100

policy-map mark
  class voice
  set ip prec 5

policy-map queue
   class voice
    priority 64

int e0
service-policy input mark

int s0
service-policy output queue

****** 2nd config ************

access-list 100 permit udp any any range 16384 32767

class-map voice
   match access-group 100

class-map prec-5
   match ip precedence 5

policy-map mark
  class voice
  set ip prec 5

policy-map queue
   class prec-5
   priority 64

int e0
service-policy input mark

int s0
service-policy output queue

****************************

Notice that the only difference between the 2 config's is that in the 2nd
config, a new class-map was defined which referenced traffic marked with ip
prec 5 instead of reusing the previously defined class-map voice and used
that class to prioritized traffic. Assume that no other traffic is marked
with ip prec 5.

Between these 2 different config's, is one config better than the other? If
so, why?

Thanks
