The token buckets C and E are initially full, that is, the token count

Tc(0) = BC and the token count Te(0) = BE. Thereafter, the token

counts Tc and Te are updated CIR times per second as follows:

If Tc is less than BC, Tc is incremented by one, else

if Te is less then BE, Te is incremented by one, else

neither Tc nor Te is incremented.

When a packet of size B bytes arrives at time t, the following happens if

srTCM is configured to operate in color-blind mode:

If Tc(t)-B ≥ 0, the packet is green and Tc is decremented by B down

to the minimum value of 0, else

if Te(t)-B ≥ 0, the packets is yellow and Te is decremented by B

down to the minimum value of 0,

else the packet is red and neither Tc nor Te is decremented.

When a packet of size B bytes arrives at time t, the following happens if

srTCM is configured to operate in color-aware mode:

If the packet has been pre-colored as green and Tc(t)-B ≥ 0, the

packet is green and Tc is decremented by B down to the minimum

value of 0, else

If the packet has been pre-colored as yellow or green and if

Te(t)-B ≥ 0, the packets is yellow and Te is decremented by B down

to the minimum value of 0, else the packet is red and neither Tc nor

Te is decremented.

The metering policy guarantees a deterministic behavior where the

volume of green packets is never smaller than what has been

determined by the CIR and BC, that is, tokens of a given color are

always spent on packets of that color. Refer to RFC 2697 for more

information on other aspects of srTCM.

This example creates a policy called “rd-policy,” uses the

class

command to

specify the previously defined “rd-class,” uses the

set

command to classify

the service that incoming packets will receive, and then uses the police

srtcm-color-blind command to limit the average bandwidth to 100,000

Kbps, the committed burst rate to 4000 bytes, the excess burst rate to

6000 bytes, to remark any packets exceeding the committed burst size,

and to drop any packets exceeding the excess burst size.
