Using BA Classifiers to Set PLP

Behavior aggregate (BA) classifiers take action on incoming packets. When TCM is enabled, Juniper Networks M320 Multiservice Edge Routers and T Series Core Routers support four classifier PLP designations: low, medium-low, medium-high, and high. To configure the PLP for a classifier, include the following statements at the [edit class-of-service] hierarchy level:

[edit class-of-service]
classifiers {(dscp | dscp-ipv6 | exp | ieee-802.1 | inet-precedence) classifier-name {import (classifier-name | default);forwarding-class class-name {loss-priority (low | medium-low | medium-high | high) code-points [ aliases ] [ bit-patterns ];}}}

The inputs for a classifier are the CoS values. The outputs for a classifier are the forwarding class and the loss priority (PLP). A classifier sets the forwarding class and the PLP for each packet entering the interface with a specific set of CoS values.

For example, in the following configuration, the assured-forwarding forwarding class and medium-low PLP are assigned to all packets entering the interface with the 101110 CoS values:

class-of-service {classifiers {dscp dscp-cl {forwarding-class assured-forwarding {loss-priority medium-low {code-points 101110;}}}}}

To use this classifier, you must configure the settings for the assured-forwarding forwarding class at the [edit class-of-service forwarding-classes queue queue-number assured-forwarding] hierarchy level. For more information, see Overview of Forwarding Classes.
