Multifield Classification
Like behavior aggregate (BA) classification, which is sometimes referred to as
class-of-service (CoS) value traffic classification, multifield classification is a method
of classifying incoming traffic by associating each packet with a forwarding class, a packet
loss priority level, or both. The CoS scheduling configuration assigns packets to output
queues based on forwarding class. The CoS random early detection (RED) process uses
the drop probability configuration, output queue fullness percentage, and packet loss
priority to drop packets as needed to control congestion at the output stage.
BA classification and multifield classification use different fields of a packet to perform
traffic classification. BA classification is based on a
CoS value
in the IP packet header.
Multifield classification can be based on
multiple fields
in the IP packet header, including
CoS values. Multifield classification is used instead of BA classification when you need
to classify packets based on information in the packet other than the CoS values only.
Multifield classification is configured using a stateless firewall filter term that matches
on any packet header fields and associates matched packets with a forwarding class, a
loss priority, or both. The forwarding class or loss priority can be set by a firewall filter
action or by a policer referenced as a firewall filter action.

Order of Policer and Firewall Filter Operations
You can apply a both a traffic policer and a stateless firewall filter (with or without policing
actions) to a single logical interface at the same time. In this case, the order of precedence
of operations is such that policers applied directly to the logical interface are evaluated
before input filters but after output filters.
•
If an input firewall filter is configured on the same logical interface as a policer, the
policer is executed first.
•
If an output firewall filter is configured on the same logical interface as a policer, the
firewall filter is executed first.
illustrates the order of policer and firewall filter processing at the
same interface.
