Traffic Flow From the LAN

Traffic from the LAN to the host running Solaris Bandwidth Manager is received by the LAN interface.

If the destination IP address of the packet is the host running Solaris Bandwidth Manager it is dropped by ipqos2 as it will have already been sent up the IP stack by ipqos1.

If the destination IP address of the packet is not the host running Solaris Bandwidth Manager then the packet is forwarded directly to the router in the following cases:

• the IP packet is addressed to the router

• the packet is not an IP packet and non-IP mode is set to direct in the configuration file

• it is a multicast packet and multicast mode is set to direct

Otherwise, the packet will be classifed and scheduled by ipqos3.
