Type (caqFlowPolicerType)

The type of a policer. There are two possible values: microflow(1) and aggregate(2).


Normal Rate Requested (caqFlowPolicerNormalRateRequest)

The requested average rate of the flow. The base unit of this object is 1 kilobyte per second; values can be 0, or range from 32 to 8,000,000.


Normal Rate Granted (caqFlowPolicerNormalRateGrant)

The granted average rate of the flow. The base unit of this object is 1 kilobyte per second.


Normal Rate Action (caqFlowPolicerNormalRateAction)

The action for normal rate out-of-profile packets. There are two possible values: drop(1) and policedDscp(2).

Note: An out-of-profile packet is a packet that causes the committed access rate for the packet's flow to be exceeded.


Excess Rate Requested (caqFlowPolicerExcessRateRequest)

The requested excess rate of the flow. The base unit of this object is 1 kilobyte per second; values can be 0, or range from 32 to 8,000,000.

If specified, the value must exceed the normal rate requested.


Excess Rate Granted (caqFlowPolicerExcessRateGrant)

The granted excess rate of the flow. The base unit of this object is 1 kilobyte per second.


Excess Rate Action (caqFlowPolicerExcessRateAction)

The action for excess rate out-of-profile packets. There are two possible values: drop(1) and policedDscp(2).


Burst Size Requested (caqFlowPolicerBurstSizeRequest)

The requested burst rate of the flow. The base unit of this object is 1 kilobyte; values can be 0, or range from 32 to 8,000,000.


Burst Size Granted (caqFlowPolicerBurstSizeGrant)
