◆ Policing is based on a token bucket, where bucket depth (i.e., the maximum
burst before the bucket overflows) is by specified the
committed-burst field, and
the average rate tokens are added to the bucket is by specified by the
committed-rate option. Note that the token bucket functions similar to that
described in RFC 2697 and RFC 2698.
◆ The behavior of the meter is specified in terms of one token bucket (C), the rate
at which the tokens are incremented (CIR – Committed Information Rate), and
the maximum size of the token bucket (BC – Committed Burst Size).
The token bucket C is initially full, that is, the token count Tc(0) = BC. Thereafter,
the token count Tc is updated CIR times per second as follows:
■
If Tc is less than BC, Tc is incremented by one, else
■
Tc is not incremented.
When a packet of size B bytes arrives at time t, the following happens:
■
If Tc(t)-B ≥ 0, the packet is green and Tc is decremented by B down to the
minimum value of 0, else
■
else the packet is red and Tc is not decremented.
Example
This example creates a policy called “rd-policy,” uses the class command to specify
the previously defined “rd-class,” uses the set phb command to classify the service
that incoming packets will receive, and then uses the police flow command to limit
the average bandwidth to 100,000 Kbps, the burst rate to 4000 bytes, and configure
the response to drop any violating packets.
Console(config)#policy-map rd-policy
Console(config-pmap)#class rd-class

Console(config-pmap-c)#police flow 100000 4000 conform-action transmit
violate-action drop
Console(config-pmap-c)#
police srtcm-color This command defines an enforcer for classified traffic based on a single rate three
color meter (srTCM). Use the no form to remove a policer.
