In the example above, assuming the policy is attached to a SAP in a VPLS service, compute the classification entries per FC as:

FCnc = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 3

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.

FCh1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4

Because FCh1 uses unicast, broadcast, multicast and unknown-unicast meter, four entries are needed to identify these traffic types explicitly.

FCef = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 3

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.

FCh2 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 3

Because FCh2 uses unicast meter and broadcast meter, two entries are needed to identify these traffic types explicitly. multicast and unknown-unicast traffic of the same FC use the unicast resources (both meter and classification entry).

FCl1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 3 FCaf = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 3

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.

FCl2 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 FCbe = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1

Because FCbe uses a single meter for all traffic-types only a single meter and single entry is needed.

Using the above equation, the total classification entries used = 20 and meters used = 7, num-qos-classifiers to use is 20 (the minimum value).

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:

FCnc = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1 FCh1 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1 FCef = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1 FCh2 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1 FCl1 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1 FCaf = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1 FCl2 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 FCbe = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1

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).
