Description
For a two-rate three-color policer, configure the peak information rate (PIR) as a number of bits per second. The PIR is the maximum rate for traffic arriving at or departing from the interface under peak line conditions. Traffic that exceeds the committed information rate (CIR) and the committed burst size (CBS) is metered to the PIR.
When you include the peak-information-rate statement
in the configuration, you must also include the committed-information-rate and peak-burst-size statements at the same hierarchy
level.
Two-rate three-color policers use a dual-rate dual token bucket algorithm to measure traffic against two rate limits.
A traffic flow is categorized green if it conforms to both the CIR and the CBS-bounded accumulation of available committed bandwidth capacity.
A traffic flow is categorized yellow if exceeds the CIR and CBS but conforms to the PIR. Packets in a yellow flow are marked with
medium-highpacket loss priority (PLP) and then passed through the interface.A traffic flow is categorized red if exceeds the PIR and the PBS-bounded accumulation of available peak bandwidth capacity. Packets in a red traffic flow are marked with
highPLP and then either passed through the interface or optionally discarded.
Options
bps—Number
of bits per second. 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).
Range:
1500 through 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 bps on MX Series routers
