This read-create INTEGER, set per interface, points to the Policy Map that should be applied to egress, or outgoing, traffic on that interface. An admin uses this to control how traffic leaving a specific port is classified and treated, independently of whatever policy is applied to that port's inbound direction. For example, an admin wanting a different, output-focused shaping policy on a downlink port would set this field to a policy map index distinct from the one referenced by rlQosIfPolicyMapPointerIn.
