Abstract

An approach is provided in which an information handling system matches packet properties of an egress data packet to a classification rule corresponding to differentiated services (DiffServ) parameters. The information handling system encapsulates the egress data packet with a network virtualization overlay header that includes a DiffServ classification identifier corresponding to the DiffServ classification rule. In turn, the information handling system sends the encapsulated egress data packet to a downstream network component.
