This object describes a provisioned service class on a CMTS. Each object instance defines a template for certain DOCSIS QOS Parameter Set values. When a CM creates or modifies an Admitted QOS Parameter Set for a Service Flow, it may reference a Service Class Name instead of providing explicit QOS Parameter Set values. In this case, the CMTS populates the QOS Parameter Set with the applicable corresponding values from the named Service Class. Subsequent changes to a Service Class row do not affect the QOS Parameter Set values of any service flows already admitted. A service class template applies to only a single direction, as indicated in the ServiceClassDirection attribute.
