RE: class sequence in policy-map

Hi Aldo,

With this policy map you are limiting bandwidth for data and reserving
bandwidth for voice. These actions are completely compatible and the order
does not affect the behaviour. In fact, limiting data would help voice to go
through, but not the other way around. Anyway when you use MQC each class
goes in a different queue and the only conflict comes when the total
bandwidth reserved for the classes exceeds the reservable bandwidth in the
interface.

However I take advantage of your question to ask another (I saw a similar
one but did not see the answer). In the following policy map:

policy-map overlap
        class IP
        bandwidth 150
        class UDP
        bandwidth 150
        class RTP
        bandwidth 150

Where is RTP traffic classified???

Cheers,
Ato.

Subject: class sequence in policy-map

Hi All,

I have a quick and simple question. Will appreciate any input on this:

Does the sequence in which the classes appear in policy-map configuration
affect the treatment for that class?

e.g.

policy-map policy-1
  class data
     police 1024000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
  class voice
    priority 512

policy-map policy-2
  class voice
    priority 512
  class data
     police 1024000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

Will there be any noticable performance difference when either one is
applied to an interface? Does the Doc CD mention anything on this?

Thanks!
