A quick clarification. My specific
interest is in FEC classification for
media protocols that use dynamic ports
for transporting data streams (i.e.
static port number-based rules won't
work).

Subject: FEC classification




Hello,
Had a quick question regarding FEC classification 
(pardon me if this has been covered on the reflector
earlier, I'm new here).

If traffic coming in over a last mile link 
to a provider network consists of a range of 
protocols and if a provider wants to have the LER 
provide a FEC classfication for only a specific protocol
coming over this link(e.g. SIP), how would this be accomplished? Do
LERs typically support application proxy-like
functionality to provide application protocol-based
FEC classification? Even if such functionality is
supported, is it optimum to use application-based
rules on an LER (i.e. only a very small proportion of traffic
traversing an LER may satisfy such a classfication).

Thanks,
Saqib
