Single-Rate Two-Color Policers
You can use a single-rate two-color policer, or “policer” when used without qualification,
to rate-limit a traffic flow to an average bits-per-second arrival rate (specified by the
single specified bandwidth limit) while allowing bursts of traffic for short periods
(controlled by the single specified burst-size limit). This type of policer categorizes a
traffic flow as either green (conforming) or red (nonconforming). Packets in a green flow
are implicitly set to a
low
loss priority and then transmitted. Packets in a red flow are
handled according to actions specified in the policer configuration. Packets in a red flow
can be marked—set to a specified forwarding class, set to a specified loss priority, or
both—or they can be discarded.
A single-rate two-color policer is most useful for metering traffic at the port (physical
interface) level.
Basic Single-Rate Two-Color Policer
You can apply a basic single-rate two-color policer to Layer 3 traffic in either of two ways:
as an interface policer or as a firewall filter policer. You can apply the policer as an
interface policer
, meaning that you apply the policer directly to a logical interface at the
protocol family level. If you want to apply the policer to selected packets only, you can
apply the policer as a
firewall filter policer
, meaning that you reference the policer in a
stateless firewall filter term and then apply the filter to a logical interface at the protocol
family level.
Bandwidth Policer
A bandwidth policer is simply a single-rate two-color policer that is defined using a
bandwidth limit specified as a percentage value rather than as an absolute number of
bits per second. When you apply the policer (as an interface policer or as a firewall filter
policer) to a logical interface at the protocol family level, the effective bandwidth limit
is calculated based on either the physical interface media rate or the logical interface
configured shaping rate.
