Description

Set parameters for the receive leaky bucket, which specifies what percentage of the interface's total capacity can be used to receive packets.

For each DS-3 channel on an original Channelized OC-12 interface, you can configure a unique receive bucket.

Options

In the overflow option, specify how to handle packets that exceed the threshold:

• tag—(receive-bucket only) Tag, count, and process received packets that exceed the threshold.
• discard—Discard received packets that exceed the threshold. No counting is done.

rate percentage—Percentage of the interface line rate that is available to receive or transmit packets.
Range: 0 through 100

threshold number—Bucket threshold, which controls the burstiness of the leaky bucket mechanism. The larger the value, the more bursty the traffic, which means that over a very short amount of time, the interface can receive or transmit close to line rate, but the average over a longer time is at the configured bucket rate.
Range: 0 through 16777215 bytes
