Description: This table describes the packet classification configured on the CM or CMTS. The model is that a packet either received as input from an interface or transmitted for output on an interface may be compared against an ordered list of rules pertaining to the packet contents. Each rule is a row of this table. A matching rule provides a Service Flow ID to which the packet is classified. All rules need to match for a packet to match a classifier.

The objects in this row correspond to a set of Classifier Encoding parameters in a DOCSIS MAC management message. The docsIetfQosPktClassBitMap indicates which particular parameters were present in the classifier as signaled in the DOCSIS message. If the referenced parameter was not present in the signaled DOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 Classifier, the corresponding object in this row reports a value as specified in the DESCRIPTION section.
