Explanation

In Palo Alto Networks QoS, traffic is assigned to one of eight QoS classes (1–8). Class 4 is the system default class. Any traffic that does not match a configured QoS policy rule or class mapping is automatically placed into class 4. This default behavior ensures all unclassified traffic - such as video traffic that hasn't been explicitly mapped - still receives a defined treatment rather than being dropped or left undefined.
