Forwarding Class

Names of forwarding classes assigned to queue numbers. The following are the default forwarding classes:

  • best-effort—Provides no special CoS handling of packets. Loss priority is typically not carried in a CoS value.

  • expedited-forwarding—Provides low loss, low delay, low jitter, assured bandwidth, and end-to-end service.

  • assured-forwarding—Provides high assurance for packets within the specified service profile. Excess packets are dropped.

  • network-control—Packets can be delayed but not dropped.

EX4300 switches have the following additional default forwarding classes:

  • mcast-be—Provides no special CoS handling of packets.

  • mcast-ef—Provides low loss, low delay, low jitter, assured bandwidth, and end-to-end service.

  • mcast-af—Provides high assurance for packets within the specified service profile. Excess packets are dropped.

  • mcast-nc—Provides multicast network-control traffic.

  • best-effort—0

  • expedited-forwarding—5

  • assured-forwarding—1

  • network-control—7
