LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select the check box to activate this policer.
Name Enter the descriptive name of this policer.
Meter Type Select how the policer shapes the traffic of the member QoS classes.
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).
Committed
Rate
Specify the committed rate. When the incoming traffic rate of the member QoS
classes is less than the committed rate, the device applies the conforming action to
the traffic.
