Meter Mode
– Selects one of the following policing methods.
Flow
(Police Flow) – Defines the committed information rate (CIR, or
maximum throughput), committed burst size (BC, or burst rate), and the
action to take for conforming and non-conforming traffic. Policing is based
on a token bucket, where bucket depth (that is, the maximum burst before
the bucket overflows) is specified by the “burst” field, and the average rate
tokens are removed from the bucket is by specified by the “rate” option.
Committed Information Rate
(CIR) – Committed information rate in
kilobits per second. (Range: 0-40000000 kbps or maximum port speed,
whichever is lower)
The rate cannot exceed the configured interface speed.
Committed Burst Size
(BC) – Committed burst in bytes.
(Range: 1000-128000000 bytes)
Conform
– Specifies that traffic conforming to the committed
information rate (CIR) and committed burst size (BC) will be transmitted
without any change to the DSCP service level.
Set IP DSCP
– Decreases DSCP priority for out of conformance
traffic. (Range: 0-63)
Transmit
– Transmits in-conformance traffic without any change to
the DSCP service level.
Violate
– Specifies whether the traffic that exceeds the committed
information rate (CIR) or burst size (BC) will be dropped or the DSCP
service level will be reduced.
Set IP DSCP
– Decreases DSCP priority for out of conformance
traffic. (Range: 0-63)
Drop
– Drops out of conformance traffic.
srTCM
(Police Meter) – Defines the committed information rate (CIR, or
maximum throughput), committed burst size (BC, or burst rate) and excess
burst size (BE), and the action to take for traffic conforming to the
maximum throughput, exceeding the maximum throughput but within the
excess burst size, or exceeding the excess burst size. In addition to the
actions defined by this command to transmit, remark the DSCP service
value, or drop a packet, the switch will also mark the two color bits used to
set the drop precedence of a packet.
The color modes include “Color-Blind” which assumes that the packet
stream is uncolored, and “Color-Aware” which assumes that the incoming
packets are pre-colored. The functional differences between these modes
is described at the beginning of this section under “srTCM Police Meter.
