In the example above, assuming the policy is attached to a SAP in a VPLS service, compute the classification entries per FC as:
Because FCnc uses unicast, broadcast and multicast meter, three entries are needed to identify these traffic types explicitly. Unknown-unicast traffic type is classified using the same entry as multicast traffic type and uses the same meter.
Because FCh1 uses unicast, broadcast, multicast and unknown-unicast meter, four entries are needed to identify these traffic types explicitly.
Because FCef uses unicast, broadcast and multicast meter, three entries are needed to identify these traffic types explicitly. Unknown-unicast traffic type is classified using the same entry as multicast traffic type and uses the same meter.
Because FCh2 uses unicast meter and broadcast meter, two entries are needed to identify these traffic types explicitly. Another entry is needed to classify multicast and unknown-unicast traffic type to the same FC and use the default meter ‟11”.
Because FCaf uses unicast, broadcast and multicast meter, three entries are needed to identify these traffic types explicitly. Unknown-unicast traffic type is classified using the same entry as multicast traffic type and uses the same meter.
Using the above equation, the total classification entries used = 21 and meters used = 8.
If the same policy were to be used for a SAP in an Epipe service, then because all traffic is classified to a unicast traffic type and because only unicast meters are used, the following:
Using the above equation, the total classification entries used = 7 and meters used = 4.
As can be seen here, using the same policy for Epipe SAP can lead to inefficient use of resources. Hence, it is recommended to create a different policy with the required number of resources (that is, with num-qos-classifiers 8)
