Figure 14. QoS Video Application ExampleThe parts of the policies are:

Classifier - Specifies the IP address of the node with a video

The classifier for Policy 32 specifies the address as a destination address because this classifier is part of a policy concerning packets going to the application.

Flow Group - Specifies the new priority level of 4 for the packets. As

with the previous example, the packets leave the switch with the same priority level they had when they entered. The new priority level is relevant only while the packets traverse the switch. To alter the
