You can dynamically add, modify, or delete the matching rules of a traffic classifier on the

S7700.

Priority Mapping

Different packets carry different precedence fields. For example, VLAN packets carry the 802.1p

field, IP packets carry the DSCP field or IP precedence, and MPLS packets carry the EXP

field. The mappings between priority fields must be configured on gateways to retain priorities

of packets when the packets traverse different networks.

To ensure QoS for different packets, when packets reach the S7700, the S7700 maps priorities

in packets or the default 802.1p priority of an interface to local priorities. The S7700 then

determines the queues that packets enter based on the mappings between internal priorities and

queues and performs traffic shaping, congestion avoidance, and queue scheduling. In addition,

the S7700 can re-mark priorities of outgoing packets so that the downstream device can provide

differentiated QoS based on packet priorities.
