|
Scheduler node or queue associated with a logical interface. A shared shaper is configured for a logical interface; all queues and scheduler nodes associated with that logical interface are constituents of the shared shaper.
|
Active constituent
|
Constituent that is monitored or controlled by the shared shaper mechanism.
|
Inactive constituent
|
Constituent that is ignored by the shared shaper mechanism. Inactive constituents can be indirectly controlled; for example, queues stacked above a node that is an active constituent.
|
Shared Shaping
|
Mechanism for shaping a logical interface's aggregate traffic to a rate when the traffic for that logical interface is queued through more than one scheduler hierarchy.
|
Implicit shared shaper
|
Shared shaper where the system automatically selects the active constituents. The system selects scheduler nodes as active; queues above nodes remain inactive.
|
Explicit shared shaper
|
Shared shaper where you select the active constituents by issuing the shared-shaping-constituent command in a scheduler profile.
|
Compound shared shaping
|
Hardware-assisted mechanism that controls bandwidth for all active constituents.
|
Simple shared shaping
|
Software-assisted mechanism that measures the rate of active constituents, and shapes the rate of the best-effort node or queue to the residual shared-shaping rate.
