Chapter42 Configuring PFC QoS
Understanding How PFC QoS Works
Flowchart of PFC QoS Egress LAN Port Features
Figure 42-7 shows how traffic flows through the QoS features on egress LAN ports.
Figure 42-7 Egress LAN Port Scheduling, Congestion Avoidance, and Marking
Egress CoS Values
For all egress traffic, PFC QoS uses a configurable map to derive a CoS value from the final internal
DSCP value associated with the traffic. PFCQoS sends the derived CoS value to the egress LAN ports
for use in classification and congestion avoidance and to be written into ISL and 802.1Q frames.
Note With Release 12.2(18)SXF5 and later releases, you can configure WS-X6708-10GE ports to use the final
internal DSCP value for egress LAN port classification and congestion avoidance (see the “Configuring
DSCP-Based Queue Mapping” section on page 42-98).
