You are reffering to a BA classification that is done inside a diffserv
domain.

If you sit on a diffserv edge you must be able to do a full MF
classification that could include (src/dst MAC addresses, VLAN ID, 802.1 P
priority, src/dst IP address, src/dst subnetmask, DSCP, Protocolfield,
src/dst port TCP, src/dst UDP, TCP flags etc..) and map it into a DSCP.
