can be used to define traffic parameters.

Examples

The following example creates a traffic descriptor of type 4. After the traffic descriptor is created, it is listed in a table and associated with an index number. Although the index numbers are defined sequentially, they are only a counter of how many traffic descriptors have ever been defined. The numbers are historically ordered, so that if five traffic descriptors are defined and then the fourth one, with the index number of 4 is deleted, the remaining traffic descriptors remain indexed with the original numbers of 1, 2, 3, and 5.
