control bod

 

 

The list control bod command lists the current state of

bandwidth-on-demand (BOD). This information includes BAP state,

con®gured bandwidth-on-demand parameters for adding and subtracting

bandwidth, current bandwidth, and information from the last bandwidth poll.

Valid BAP states are:

 

 

Closed

 

 

BACP is not opened ± BAP is either not enabled or not supported

by the peer.

 

 

Ready BACP is opened and there is no outstanding request being

processed.

 

 

Call Req Sent

 

 

There is an outstanding call-request that was sent from the local

machine.

 

 

Callback Req Sent

 

 

There is an outstanding callback-request that was sent locally.

Call Placed

 

 

As a result of a BAP request to add bandwidth, a call has been

placed.

 

 

Retry Status Sent

 

 

The outgoing call failed to join the MP bundle, a retry status was

sent.

 

 

No Retry Status Sent

 

 

The outgoing call either succeeded or exhausted all retries, a no

retry status was sent.

 

Drop Req Sent

 

 

There is an outstanding drop request that was sent locally.

Con®gured bandwidth-on-demand parameters include add percentage, drop

percentage, maximum number of active links in the MP bundle, and the

bandwidth polling interval.

 

A BAP request to add a link to the bundle will be initiated if both the

following conditions are met:

 

v The current number of active links is less than the con®gured maximum

number of links.

 

 

v The bandwidth utilization across all links in the MP bundle is greater than

the add percentage of the total available bandwidth for the MP bundle.

A BAP request to drop a link from the MP will be initiated if both the

following conditions are met:

 

v The number of active links is greater than one.
