Understanding How PFC QoS Works

Classification and Marking on the MSFC

PFC QoS sends IP traffic to the MSFC with the final internal DSCP values. CoS is equal to

IP precedence in all traffic sent from the MSFC to egress ports.

Figure 41-9 Marking with PFC2 or PFC3 and MSFC2, MSFC2A, or MSFC3

Traffic that is Layer 3 switched on the PFC does not go through the MSFC and retains the CoS value

assigned by the PFC.

These sections describe policers:

Overview of Policers

Policing allows you to rate limit incoming and outgoing traffic so that it adheres to the traffic forwarding

rules defined by the QoS configuration. Sometimes these configured rules for how traffic should be

forwarded through the system are referred to as a contract. If the traffic does not adhere to this contract,

it is marked down to a lower DSCP value or dropped.

Policing does not buffer out-of-profile packets. As a result, policing does not affect transmission delay.

In contrast, traffic shaping works by buffering out-of-profile traffic, which moderates the traffic bursts.

(PFC QoS does not support shaping.)
