Table 40 Configuration items
Item Descri
p
tion
Interface Name Specify the interface to which a CAR list is to be applied.
Direction
Specify the direction in which a CAR list is to be applied.
• Inbound—Applies the CAR list to the packets received on the specified interface.
• Outbound—Applies the CAR list to the packets sent out of the specified interface.
CAR List Index Specify the index of the CAR list to be applied.
CIR
Set the CIR.
If you apply an IP network segment-based CAR list to an interface, the CIR you defined
takes on different meanings depending on the configurations of the per-IP address rate
limiting function and the shared bandwidth mode for the CAR list.
• If the per-IP address rate limiting function is not enabled, the CIR specifies the
total bandwidth for the network segment and will be allocated to each IP address
based on its traffic size.
• If the per-IP address rate limiting function is enabled but the shared bandwidth
mode is not enabled, the CIR specifies bandwidth for each IP address, and the
bandwidth cannot be shared by the other IP addresses in the network segment.
• If both the per-IP address rate limiting function and the shared bandwidth mode
are enabled, the CIR specifies the total shared bandwidth for the network
segment, which will be dynamically and evenly allocated to traffic by IP address.
For example, apply a CAR list to an interface with 10 Mbps of total bandwidth to
perform per-IP address rate limiting for the network segment 10.1.0.1 to 10.1.0.100.
If the shared bandwidth mode is enabled for the CAR list, you can set the CIR to 10
Mbps at maximum. If the shared bandwidth mode is not enabled for the CAR list, you
can set the CIR to 100 kbps at maximum.
CBS
Set the CBS, that is, the size of burst traffic when the actual average rate is no bigger
than CIR.
