Understanding Policy Groups
Policy groups are constrained sets of QoS policies, and assigned network 
elements. A policy group consists of:
Device constraints—These are defined by device properties, such as device 
model, operating system version, network element type, and so on. These 
constraints determine the QoS features that can be defined in the policy 
group, and the type of network elements on which the policies can be 
configured. You can define multiple device constraints in a policy group, but 
they must all be for the same network element type.
QoS properties—These include the policy group’s scheduling type, and other 
properties and QoS mappings that are applied to all traffic on the network 
elements to which they are deployed. The scheduling type can affect the QoS 
properties that can be defined for the policy group, for example, CRTP, LFI, 
trust state, and so on.
