Table B-12: PR Flow Rate Limit Page

Field Description Notes

Name

The rate limit name.

Rate Limit names can be up to 31 alphanumeric characters, including underscore (_), and hyphens (-). Do not use spaces.

Rate

The target average rate in Kbits/sec for the traffic that the policy covers. If a traffic flow is lower than or equal to this rate, the policy applies the selected service type and transmits the traffic. If a traffic flow is greater than this rate the traffic is handled according to the excess traffic setting for the selected service type.

The rate must be a multiple of 8.

Normal Burst

Optionally, the amount of KBytes allowed to the traffic flow to accommodate bursty traffic. This defines how large the burst can be before some traffic is marked as exceeding the rate limit.

Traffic marked as exceeding the rate limit is handled according to the Excess action defined in the service template for the corresponding service type. If no Excess action is defined, the packets are discarded.

Excess Burst

Optionally, the amount of KBytes allowed to the traffic flow to accommodate bursty traffic in excess of the normal burst size. This defines how large the burst can be before all traffic is marked as exceeding the rate limit.

You must specify an excess burst size if you specify a normal burst. The recommended excess burst size is greater than the normal burst, otherwise the traffic gets no added benefit.

Traffic marked as exceeding the rate limit is handled according to the Excess action defined in the service template for the corresponding service type. If no Excess action is defined, the packets are discarded.

The rate must be a multiple of 8.

Normal Burst

Optionally, the amount of KBytes allowed to the aggregate traffic to accommodate bursty traffic. This defines how large the total burst can be before some traffic is marked as exceeding the rate limit.

Traffic marked as exceeding the rate limit is handled according to the Excess action defined in the service template for the corresponding service type. If no Excess action is defined, the packets are discarded.

Excess Burst

Optionally, the amount of KB allowed to the aggregate traffic to accommodate bursty traffic in excess of the normal burst size. This defines how large the total burst can be before all traffic is marked as exceeding the rate limit.
