RE: CEF and QoS, again

I think it is restricting you to NOT use NBAR, just that. MQC itself
does not requires CEF, not CAR either requires it. (I understand)

In other words (forget my previous email):

When the QOS task requires you to "not use cef" what options do you have

left?

And what about restricting to use cef for your solution?

grtz,

| Hi Group,
