[Version ( "2.7.0" ), UMLPackagePath ( "CIM::Network::QoS" ), Description ( "ClassifierElement represents the linkage, within a single " "ClassifierService, between a FilterList (that defines the " "criteria to select packets from the stream of packets coming " "into the Service) and the next ConditioningService (to which " "the selected packets go after they leave the " "ClassifierService). ClassifierElement has no properties of its " "own. It is present to serve as an aggregated entity into " "ClassifierService (using the ClassifierElementIn " "ClassifierService association), and for associations with its " "FilterList (ClassifierElementUsesFilterList) and its next " "ConditioningService (NextServiceAfterClassifierElement). \n" "\n" "Note that a ClassifierElement may be associated with a " "ClassifierService through the NextServiceAfterClassifier " "Element association. This will occur when implementing " "hierarchical classification. In this case, the " "ClassifierElement MUST NOT instantiate the ClassifierElement " "UsesFilterList association. Further, when a ClassifierElement " "is associated with a ClassifierService as described above, the " "order of processing of the associated ClassifierService is a " "function of the ClassifierOrder property of the " "ClassifierElementInClassifierService aggregation." )] class CIM_ClassifierElement : CIM_ClassifierService { };
