DESCRIPTION

 

Meter Type

Select a traffic metering algorithm used in this policer.

 

 

The Simple Token Bucket algorithm uses tokens in a bucket to control

 

 

when traffic can be transmitted. Each token represents one byte. The

 

 

algorithm allows bursts of up to b bytes which is also the bucket size.

 

 

The Single Rate Three Color Marker (srTCM) is based on the token

 

 

bucket filter and identifies packets by comparing them to the Committed

 

 

Information Rate (CIR), the Committed Burst Size (CBS) and the Excess

 

 

Burst Size (EBS).

 

 

The Two Rate Three Color Marker (trTCM) is based on the token bucket

 

 

filter and identifies packets by comparing them to the Committed

 

 

Information Rate (CIR) and the Peak Information Rate (PIR).

 

 

See Section 19.8 on page 324 for more information.

 

 

 

 

Committed

Specify the guaranteed rate at which packets are admitted to the network.

 

Rate

This is to specify how many bytes of tokens are added to a bucket every

 

 

 

 

second.

 

 

 

 

Committed

Specify the guaranteed amount of bytes that are admitted at the

 

Burst Size

committed rate.

 

 

This is the maximum size of the (first) token bucket in a traffic metering

 

 

algorithm.

 

 

 

 

Excess Burst

Specify the additional amount of bytes that are admitted at the committed

 

Size

rate besides the committed burst size.

 

 

This is the maximum size of the second token bucket in the srTCM.

 

 

 

 

Peak Rate

Specify the maximum rate at which packets are admitted to the network.

 

 

The peak rate should be greater than or equal to the committed rate. This

 

 

is to specify how many bytes of tokens are added to the second bucket

 

 

every second in the trTCM.

 

 

 

 

Peak Burst

Specify the maximum amount of bytes that are admitted at the committed

 

Size

rate.

 

 

This is the maximum size of the second token bucket in the trTCM.

 

 

 

 

Conforming

Specify the action that the P-2812HNU-51c takes on green-marked

 

Action

packets.

 

 

Select Pass to forward the packets.

 

 

Select DSCP Mark to assign a specified DSCP number (between 0 and 63)

 

 

to the packets and forward them. The packets are dropped if there is

 

 

congestion on the network.

 

 

 

 

Partial

Specify the action that the P-2812HNU-51c takes on yellow-marked

 

Conforming

packets.

 

Action

Select Pass to forward the packets.

 

 

 

 

Select Drop to discard the packets.

 

 

Select DSCP Mark to assign a specified DSCP number (between 0 and 63)

 

 

to the packets and forward them. The packets are dropped if there is

 

 

congestion on the network.
