IPQoS Configuration File

This section contains full details about the parts of the IPQoS configuration file. The IPQoS boot-time activated policy is stored in the file /etc/inet/ipqosinit.conf. Although you can edit this file, the best practice for a new IPQoS system is to create a configuration file with a different name. Tasks for applying and debugging an IPQoS configuration are in Chapter 3, Creating the IPQoS Configuration File Tasks.

The syntax of the IPQoS configuration file is shown in Example 6–3.
