Syntax



shaping-rate (percent percentage | rate | variable);

Hierarchy Level



[edit traffic-control-profiles profile-name]
[edit schedulers  scheduler-name]

Release Information

Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 7.6.

The [edit dynamic-profiles profile-name class-of-service traffic-control-profiles profile-name] hierarchy added in JUNOS Release 9.2.

The [edit dynamic-profiles profile-name class-of-service schedulers scheduler-name] hierarchy added in JUNOS Release 9.3.

Description

For EQ DPC interfaces only, configure a shaping rate for a logical interface. The sum of the shaping rates for all logical interfaces on the physical interface can exceed the physical interface bandwidth. This practice is known as oversubscription of the peak information rate (PIR).

Default

The default behavior depends on various factors.

Options

rate—For EQ DPC interfaces, peak rate, in bits per second (bps). You can specify a value in bits per second either as a complete decimal number or as a decimal number followed by the abbreviation k (1000), m (1,000,000), or g (1,000,000,000).
variable—Variable of the shaping rate, expressed in the format “$variable-name”.

Required Privilege Level

interface—To view this statement in the configuration.

interface-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
