# Class CIM_NextService

NextService establishes a predecessor-successor relationship between two ConditioningService objects. This association is used to indicate the sequence of ConditioningServices required to process a particular type of traffic. Instances describe the various relationships between different ConditioningServices (such as classifiers, meters, droppers, etc.) that are used collectively to condition traffic. Both one-to-one and more complicated fan-in and/or fan-out relationships can be described. The Conditioning Services may feed one another directly, or they may be mapped to multiple 'next' Services based on the characteristics of the packet.
