QoS: Match ATM OAM
The QoS: Match ATM Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) feature distinguishes control
traffic from data traffic so that the control traffic can be protected from being dropped during interface
congestion. Control traffic consists of router-generated ATM OAM protocol packets, used to manage the
link status. Data traffic is the network-applications-generated packets, usually from network users. By
using Modular Quality of Service (QoS) Command-Line Interface (CLI) (MQC) with this feature, you
can label the control traffic as high priority when it travels through a Layer 2 Virtual Private Network
(L2VPN) tunnel.
