RE: Policy-map order

Hi Tim,

Order matters. Once a match is made, the policy map is no longer parsed.
With your commands below, an SMTP packet of length 1300 would match the
first class-map. If you wanted to exclude SMTP, you could always use the
following:

class-map match-all BIG
  match not protocol smtp
  match packet length min 1251

That would exclude SMTP from your definition, and ensure that large SMTP
packets don't jump the queue.

Regards,

Alex

Subject: Policy-map order

Does the order under a policy-map make a difference? For example, I've
got two
class-maps, one match smtp traffic and one match packets that are over
1250 in size.

Under the policy-map, I'm calling each class-map, but how does the
router process them?
They are not nested, so if an SMTP packet that is 1300 in size, what's
gonna happen?

class-map match-all SMTP
  match protocol smtp
class-map match-all BIG
  match packet length min 1251
!
policy-map qos
  class BIG
   police 2500000
  class SMTP
   bandwidth 1500

Any comments are appreciated..
