Class based forwarding (CBF) is a means for steering network traffic into colored tunnels based on one or more fields of the ingress traffic. Rephrased, CBF is forwarding of traffic based on “classes” which are derived from fields in the ingress packet headers and policies provisioned on the router.

Class Based Forwarding (CBF) is a means for steering IP traffic into colored tunnels based on the ingress DSCP values. CBF may be used with SR-TE Policy, RSVP-TE or Flex-Algo colored tunnels.

Connectivity Monitor is an EOS feature that allows users to monitor their network resources from their Arista switches. The resources being monitored may or may not be Arista devices. Connectivity monitoring is unidirectional in nature.

The feature allows to create a custom (i.e. named) TC, DP to DSCP mapping profile that can be applied on an interface.

In the 7280R3/7500R3/7800R3 platform, EXP rewrite for IP-MPLS routed flows is derived from the DSCP of the packet. Using Qos Policy map , DSCP can be set as needed. But in this process, the egress IP TOS was also changed, which may cause issues later at customer edge. 

By default, the DSCP and ECN bits of VXLAN bridged packets are not rewritten. Currently, for bridged packets undergoing VXLAN encapsulation, the DSCP in the outer IP header is derived from TC and the ECN bits are set to zero. The desired behavior is that the outer IP header should be remarked with ingress packet DSCP and ingress packet ECN. Also, local congestion should be handled correctly.

The differentiated services code point (DSCP) is a 6 bit field in the IP header, which can be used to mark traffic for

This article describes the support for specifying DSCP mask in IPv4 access list. DSCP mask can be used to match

This feature allows selecting Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) and Traffic Class (TC) values for packets at VTEPs along VXLAN encapsulation and decapsulation directions respectively. DSCP is a field in IP Header and TC is a tag associated with a packet within the switch, both influence the Quality of Service the packet receives. This feature can be enabled via configuration as explained later in this document.
