Hey Maximus :-) >From my understanding of what I have been reading, classification is the process of 'selecting / identifying' the packets that you would/could then use to mark for QoS Purposes. You 'define' the packets on which you would like to perform some kind of congestion management / avoidance / etc. action
Packets are classified by their source address, destination address, source port, dest port, ACLs, etc. I take Packet Marking to be the function of acting on classified packets by modifying the TOS, DSCP, etc field to suit your QoS requirements. That's what I think ... And I hope I'm right Manish -----Original Message----- From: ""B.J.

I'm looking over the QoS Config Guide, and can't seem to find any clear distinction between the two - the Guide seems to be using the terms interchangeably. Anyone have any insight into this?
