Creating QoS Policies

– 297 –

Drop – Drops out of conformance traffic.

Violate – Specifies whether the traffic that exceeds the excess

burst size (BE) will be dropped or the DSCP service level will be

reduced.

Set IP DSCP – Decreases DSCP priority for out of

conformance traffic. (Range: 0-63)

Drop – Drops out of conformance traffic.

trTCM (Police Meter) – Defines the committed information rate

(CIR, or maximum throughput), peak information rate (PIR), and
their associated burst sizes – committed burst size (BC, or burst

rate) and peak burst size (BP), and the action to take for traffic

conforming to the maximum throughput, exceeding the maximum

throughput but within the peak information rate, or exceeding the

peak information rate. In addition to the actions defined by this

command to transmit, remark the DSCP service value, or drop a

packet, the switch will also mark the two color bits used to prioritize

service to packets of different colors.

The color modes include “Color-Blind” which assumes that the

packet stream is uncolored, and “Color-Aware” which assumes that

the incoming packets are pre-colored. The functional differences

between these modes is described at the beginning of this section

under “trTCM Police Meter.”

Committed Information Rate (CIR) – Rate in kilobits per

second. (Range: 1-1000000 kbps or maximum port speed,

whichever is lower)
The rate cannot exceed the configured interface speed.

Peak Information Rate (PIR) – Rate in kilobits per second.

(Range: 1-1000000 kbps or maximum port speed, whichever is

lower)
The rate cannot exceed the configured interface speed.

Committed Burst Size (BC) – Burst in bytes.

(Range: 64-524288 bytes)
The burst size cannot exceed 16 Mbytes.

Peak Burst Size (BP) – Burst size in bytes.

(Range: 64-524288 bytes)
The burst size cannot exceed 16 Mbytes.

Conform – Specifies whether that traffic conforming to the

maximum rate (CIR) will be transmitted without any change to

the DSCP service level, or if the DSCP service level will be

modified.
