Using a class-map that matches all traffic is redundant - Cisco is nice
enough to do it for us.

If you have a question that states, for example:

"Ensure that all FTP traffic has a minimum bandwidth guarantee of 64
kbps, and all other traffic is marked with DSCP 0" then I believe that
best practice would be to use the class-default queue.

To satisfy the above criteria, as an example, I would do the following:

class-map match-all FTP
  match protocol ftp

policy-map QoS_Outbound
  class FTP
    Bandwidth 64000
  class class-default
    set dscp default

int GigabitEthernet 0/0
  service-policy output QoS_Outbound

There's no reason to match "all" IP traffic. IOS will do that for us.

QoS related...

Would cisco look for keyword like "class class-default" if it is stated
in a
task to work with "all traffic"?

The reason I am asking this is because such tasks can be completed by
creating a specific class with access-list that permits everything. On
the
other hand if the processing of class-default is differemt that
processing
of any other specific class, then this would be an issue. Your comments
will
hopefully clarify this aspect.

TIA.
