QoS Tunnel

Where to configure Qos-preclassify for tunneling

You can apply a service policy to either the tunnel interface or to the underlying physical interface. The decision of where to apply the policy depends on the QoS objectives. It also depends on which header you need to use for classification.

• Apply the policy to the tunnel interface without qos-preclassify when you want to classify packets based on the pre-tunnel header.
  
  
• Apply the policy to the physical interface without qos-preclassify when you want to classify packets based on the post-tunnel header. In addition, apply the policy to the physical interface when you want to shape or police all traffic belonging to a tunnel, and the physical interface supports several tunnels.
  
  
• Apply the policy to a physical interface and enable qos-preclassify on a tunnel interface when you want to classify packets based on the pre-tunnel header.

Configuration of QoS tunnel

Router(config)# interface tunnel0
Router(config-if)# qos pre-classify
