Scott,

Thanks for the reply.

I also read dscp-to-cos and i was understanding like this

case a ) trust dscp (or) use dscp-dscp mutation at the i/p interface that
            results in foll flow for a packet inside 3550

  dscp --- dscp --- policed dscp --- cos --- o/p queue selected

case b ) trust precedence (or) use ip-precedence-dscp map at the i/p
interface

  prec --- dscp --- policed dscp --- cos --- o/p queue selected

case c ) trust cos (or) use cos-dscp map at i/p interface

cos --- dscp -- policed dscp -- cos --- o/p queue selected

In all above cases, 64 possible dscp's at the end of policing (if its
configured)
will be mapped to one of 8 possible cos values. Even though multiple dscp's
can be
mapped to same COS, one dscp(for eg dscp 8) can be mapped to more than one
COS.
In such a case, each dscp will be present in only queue.

Pls clarify if my above understanding is right.

So i was confused when i saw the statment

>As a result of this configuration, when the queues 1 and 3 are filled above
>50 percent, packets with DSCPs 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 56 are

>exceeded, all queues randomly drop packets with DSCPs 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,
>and 60.

The above implies that packets with same DSCP can be spread across the 4
queues
and depending upon the threshold for each queue, these packets will be
random dropped.
For eg) packets with dscp 8 will be randomly dropped from queue 1 and 3
if their queues are above 50 percent and similarly packets with dscp 8 wil
be randomly
dropped from queues 2 and 4 if the queue is above 70 percent.

Pls clarify.

thanks,
Subbu
