Excess Burst The excess burst size, which determines how large traffic bursts can be
before all traffic exceeds the rate limit. In the token bucket algorithm, it
represents the full size of the second (exceed) token bucket.
The range of valid values is determined by the CIR:
•When the CIR is defined by percentage—Valid values range from 1 to
2000 milliseconds.
•When the CIR is defined by an absolute value—Valid values range from
1000-512000000 bytes.
Conform action The action to take on packets that conform to the rate limit:
•transmit—Transmits the packet.
•set-prec-transmit—Sets the IP precedence to a value you specify (0 to 7)
and then sends the packet. Not available on the control plane.
•set-dscp-transmit—Sets the DSCP to a value you specify (0 to 63) and
then sends the packet. Not available on the control plane.
•drop—Drops the packet.
Exceed action The action to take on packets that exceed the rate limit, but can be handled
using the second (exceed) token bucket.
The actions available for selection depend on the defined conform action.
For example, if you select one of the set options as the conform action, you
cannot select transmit as the exceed action. If you select drop as the conform
action, then you must also select drop as the exceed action.
Violate action The action to take on packets that cannot be serviced by either the conform
bucket or the exceed bucket.
The actions available for selection depend on the defined exceed action. For
example, if you select one of the set options as the exceed action, you cannot
select transmit as the violate action. If you select drop as the exceed action,
then you must also select drop as the violate action.
