Show Policy-Map

[vikaspurohit1]

Service-policy input: QoS-policy

Class-map: Class-A (match-any)
55908 packets
Match: dscp ef (46)
0 packets, 0 bytes
5 minute rate 0 bps

Class-map: class-default (match-any)
451923 packets
Match: any

Does this output means that we have matched 55908 packets matched with dscp 46, but since there is no congestion, we are not seeing any packets in the 5 minute rate. Please help me make this understand,

Hello,

Class-map: Class-A (match-any)
55908 packets --> this is the total amount of packets that match the criteria, DSCP EF in your case
Match: dscp ef (46)
0 packets, 0 bytes --> the total number of packets during congestion, and to which the service policy was actually applied. Since there was no congestion, this is 0
5 minute rate 0 bps --> the 5 minute average of the total amount of packets that match the criteria (55908 in your case). This value is not very reliable, since it doesn't reflect sudden spikes

This is incorrect goerg - my understating you don't need congestion to mark /classify traffic , the reason why this class is empty is simply no traffic has conformed to that class.

No it doesnt 
That outout shows the traffic hiting the class-class-default has all been unmarked traffic, that is traffic that's not defined in any other class-map  - Also you dont have to have congestion to mark and classify traffic

If you had traffic which conformed to dscp 46 it would be shown in its own in desiganted class-map ( in your case Class-map: Class-Adscp) of that policy-map outpiut

I might be missing something, but Class-A matches dscp ef only. What are the 55908 packets ?

Hello
looking at it again , this output doesn't seem correct  unless i am missing something totally fundamental, which is possible or its a typo.

This is what i would have expected to see-

Service-policy input: TST

Class-map: class-a (match-all)
0 packets, 0 bytes
5 minute offered rate 0 bps
Match: dscp ef (46)

Class-map: class-default (match-any)
0 packets, 0 bytes
5 minute offered rate 0 bps, drop rate 0 bps
Match: any

and not this................

Class-map: Class-A (match-any)
55908 packets
Match: dscp ef (46)
0 packets, 0 bytes  <---------- this is what i was looking at
5 minute rate 0 bps

Class-map: class-default (match-any)
451923 packets
Match: any

Would be nice to see the OP config of the class &  policy maps.

However going back to what i have said my understanding is you don't need congestion to mark /classify traffic for that traffic to conform to a class.

Hello Paul,

In that case, what does the 55908 packets signify? This counter is increasing continuously on the router.

Hello

Can you post your configuration of the class and policy maps please
