violate-action - Action to take when rate exceeds the PIR. (There
are not enough tokens in bucket BP to service the packet, the
packet is set red.)
drop - Drops packet as required by exceed-action or violate-action.
transmit - Transmits without taking any action.
new-dscp - Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) value.

◆
You can configure up to 16 policers (i.e., class maps) for ingress ports.
◆
The committed-rate and peak-rate cannot exceed the configured
interface speed, and the committed-burst and peak-burst cannot
exceed 16 Mbytes.
◆
The trTCM as defined in RFC 2698 meters a traffic stream and
processes its packets based on two rates – Committed Information
Rate (CIR) and Peak Information Rate (PIR), and their associated burst
sizes - Committed Burst Size (BC) and Peak Burst Size (BP).
◆
The PHB label is composed of five bits, three bits for per-hop behavior,
and two bits for the color scheme used to control queue congestion. A
packet is marked red if it exceeds the PIR. Otherwise it is marked either
yellow or green depending on whether it exceeds or doesn't exceed the
CIR.
The trTCM is useful for ingress policing of a service, where a peak rate
needs to be enforced separately from a committed rate.
◆
The meter operates in one of two modes. In the color-blind mode, the
meter assumes that the packet stream is uncolored. In color-aware
mode the meter assumes that some preceding entity has pre-colored
the incoming packet stream so that each packet is either green, yellow,
or red. The marker (re)colors an IP packet according to the results of
the meter. The color is coded in the DS field [RFC 2474] of the packet.
◆
The behavior of the meter is specified in terms of its mode and two
token buckets, P and C, which are based on the rates PIR and CIR,
respectively. The maximum size of the token bucket P is BP and the
maximum size of the token bucket C is BC.
◆
The token buckets P and C are initially (at time 0) full, that is, the token
count Tp(0) = BP and the token count Tc(0) = BC. Thereafter, the token
count Tp is incremented by one PIR times per second up to BP and the
token count Tc is incremented by one CIR times per second up to BC.
