7.1.6.1.2 METER ADD PROFILE TOKENBUCKET
Syntax METER ADD PROFILE <name> TOKENBUCKET <cir> <cbs>
<scalar>
Description This command creates a meter profile that uses the token-bucket algorithm for meter-
ing.
Allows for a larger <cbs> while retaining the committed <cir> – this is especially helpful
managing packet loss with bursty TCP/IP traffic. Possible values are from 1 to 15, with 1
resulting in no change to the cbs and 15 resulting in a cbs that is 15 times the configured
value.
If a packet stream’s average rate is within CIR and the burst size is within CBS, then the
packet is in profile (green).
All other packets are out of profile (red).
Note that only IP packet size (IP header and payload) is considered for calculations.
You can specify the treatment or actions for green, yellow and red packets using the
meter set profile action commands. You can then set the profile to create meter instance
on a transport using the TRANSPORTS SET METER INSTANCE PROFILE com-
mand.
