Per-Hop-Behavior (PHB) is a description of the externally observable forwarding behavior applied at a Differentiated Services (DS)-compliant node to a DS behavior aggregate. Reference: RFC 3260. Or in other words, PHB is the way how the nodes would apply the type of QoS on the packets by examining the DSCP value. PHB would apply to shaping, policing, and queuing components of QoS.
The COS values such as VLAN 1P priority, IP DSCP, MPLS EXP can be remarked for flows classified through L2 ACL /L3 ACL (Access Control List) by configuring the Per Hop behavior (PHB) for the flows.
The listed below configuration steps are for remarking QoS priority value (done by configuring the parameter “default-priority-type ipDscp 0”) using PHB configuration for the flow classified by using the L3 ACL.
