Creating a filter only

A service provider offers three classes of service: Standard, StandardPlus and Premium. Each has a different level of guaranteed bandwidth. Administrative and other incidental traffic is handled by the root class:

Class Name	Guaranteed Bandwidth
Premium	50%
StandardPlus	30%
Standard	10%

User Fred Smith has a subscription to the Premium class.

On receiving traffic from Fred Smith, the policyRef attribute in the policyAux class is checked. It points to the policy "Premium". The "Premium" policy contains an LSaction "ActionPremiumClass" with the attribute queueName "Premium".

A filter is created containing Fred Smith's IP address and is added to the Premium class. Traffic from Fred Smith is then filtered into the Premium class. The filter name is the UID of Fred Smith's user entry in the directory, plus the sessionID.

It would also be possible to add conditions to the policy, specifying a service, for example.
