The value of tmnxFPInitExtractDropPrioMode specifies the scheme used to select the initial drop priority of extracted control plane traffic. The initial drop priority of extracted packets can either be of low or high priority. The drop priority can be subsequently altered by mechanisms such as cpu-protection. High priority traffic receives preferential treatment in control plane congestion situations at the expense of low priority traffic. Values: uniform (1) - initialize the drop priority of all extracted control traffic as high priority l3Classify (2) - initialize the drop priority of all layer 3 extracted control traffic based on the QoS classification of the packets - this is useful in networks where the DSCP and EXP markings can be trusted as the primary method to distinguish, protect and isolate good terminating protocol traffic from unknown or potentially harmful protocol traffic
