MQC approach
In the modular QoS configuration (MQC) approach, you configure QoS service parameters by using QoS policies. A QoS policy defines the shaping, policing, or other QoS actions to take on different classes of traffic. It is a set of class-behavior associations.
A class is a set of match criteria for identifying traffic, and it uses the AND or OR operator:
If the operator is AND, a packet must match all the criteria to match the class.
If the operator is OR, a packet matches the class if it matches any of the criteria in the class.
A traffic behavior defines a set of QoS actions to take on packets, such as priority marking and redirect.
By associating a traffic behavior with a class in a QoS policy, you apply the specific set of QoS actions to the class of traffic.
