Abstract
The embodiments are directed to methods and appliances for configuring a classification tree. The methods and appliances, can receive data packets having a source media access control (MAC) address. The methods and appliances can encode the source MAC address based on a determination of a message type. The methods and appliances can provide the encoded source MAC address to a quality-of-service (QoS) engine, wherein the encoded source MAC address configures the classification tree used by the QoS engine for authorizing the transmission of one or more data packets.
