QoS for Clear Text and Tunneled Traffic

At the minimum, enabling a QoS interfaces requires you to select a default QoS profile that defines bandwidth and priority settings for clear text traffic egressing the interface. However, when setting up or modifying a QoS interface, you can apply granular QoS settings to outgoing clear text traffic and tunneled traffic. QoS preferential treatment and bandwidth limiting can be enforced for tunneled traffic, for individual tunnel interfaces, and/or for clear text traffic originating from different source interfaces and source subnets. On Palo Alto Networks firewalls, tunneled traffic refers to tunnel interface traffic, specifically IPSec traffic in tunnel mode.
