Class-Based Marking

[mheusinger]

Hello,

I have found in some "show policy-map" output that there are more packets marked (264500) than packets counted (261152)!?! This happens with an input policy not with output queueing, where I would understand it.

Router#show policy-map interface FastEthernet0/0 input

FastEthernet0/0

Service-policy input: test

Class-map: class-default (match-any)

261152 packets, 32899039 bytes

30 second offered rate 309000 bps, drop rate 0 bps

Match: any

QoS Set

dscp default

Packets marked 264500

Explanations would be helpful.

regards

Martin

I believe the reason is: The data in the output were not captured at the exact same time. So it captures the matched packet count first, then it captures the marked packets count at sightly a later time.
