Data Plane Ethernet Loopback with QoS
The Ethernet data plane loopback feature provides a means for remotely testing the throughput of an
Ethernet port. For more information see,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr903/software/guide/b_layer2_ASR903_chapter_00.html.
Dissimilar PHB Match at Ingress and Egress
The dissimilar per-hop behavior (PHB) match on exp is supported for Ingress and Egress on MPLS and
VPLS interfaces.
In earlier releases prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.11S, when qos-group or discard-class based on exp
classification was configured, Egress based classification was not allowed on any other classification
except Ingress set qos-group or discard-class. This was due to the PHB security model.
With Cisco IOS Release 3.11, only EVC based tunnel type configuration with either Layer2 VPN or
Layer3 VPN is supported.
