One common use for CoS-based forwarding and next-hop maps is to enforce different handling for different traffic types, such as voice and video. For example, an LSP-based next hop can be used for voice and video, and a non-LSP next-hop can be used for best effort traffic.
Only the forwarding policy is shown in this example:
- [edit class-of-service]
- forwarding-policy {
-
- next-hop-map ldp-map {
-
- forwarding-class expedited-forwarding {
- lsp-next-hop voice;
- non-lsp-next-hop;
- }
-
- forwarding-class assured-forwarding {
- lsp-next-hop video;
- non-lsp-next-hop;
- }
-
- forwarding-class best-effort {
- non-lsp-next-hop;
- discard;
- }
- }
- }
