Description
This command defines the administrative Peak Information Rate (PIR) and the administrative Committed
Information Rate (CIR) parameters for the queue or policer. The PIR defines the maximum rate that the
queue or policer can transmit packets out an egress interface (for SAP egress queues or policer). Defining a
PIR does not necessarily guarantee that the queue can transmit at the intended rate. The actual rate sustained
by the queue or policer can be limited by oversubscription factors or available egress bandwidth.
The CIR defines the rate at which the system prioritizes the queue or policer over other queues or policer
competing for the same bandwidth. In-profile packets are preferentially queued by the system at egress and
at subsequent next hop nodes where the packet can traverse. To be properly handled as in- or out-of-profile
throughout the network, the packets must be marked accordingly for profiling at each hop.
The CIR can be used by the queue or policer’s parent commands
cir-level
and
cir-weight
parameters to
define the amount of bandwidth considered to be committed for the child queue during bandwidth allocation
by the parent scheduler.
The
rate
command can be executed at anytime, altering the PIR and CIR rates for all queues created through
the association of the SAP egress QoS policy with the
queue-id
or
policer-id
.
The
no
form of the command returns all queues or policer created with the
queue-id
or
policer-id
by associ-
ation with the QoS policy to the default PIR and CIR parameters (
max
, 0).
Default
rate max cir 0 —
The
max
default specifies the amount of bandwidth in kilobits per second (thousand bits
per second). The
max
value is mutually exclusive to the
pir-rate
value.
Parameters
pir-rate —
Defines the administrative PIR rate, in kilobits, for the queue or policer. When the
rate
command
is executed, a valid PIR setting must be explicitly defined. When the
rate
command has not been
executed, the default PIR of
max
is assumed. When max is specified, the maximum policer rate used
will be equal to the maximum capacity of the card on which the policer is configured. If the policer rate
is set to a value larger than the maximum rate possible for the card, then the PIR used is equivalent to
max. Fractional values are not allowed and must be given as a positive integer.
The actual PIR rate is dependent on the queue’s
adaptation-rule
parameters and the actual hardware
where the queue or policer is provisioned.
Values
Queue: 1— 100000000,

Policer:1— 2000000000
, max
Default
max
cir-rate —
The
cir
parameter overrides the default administrative CIR used by the queue or policer. When
the
rate
command is executed, a CIR setting is optional. When the
rate
command has not been
executed or the
cir
parameter is not explicitly specified, the default CIR (0) is assumed.
Fractional values are not allowed and must be given as a positive integer. When max is specified, the
maximum policer rate used will be equal to the maximum capacity of the card on which the policer is
