Rate |
The rate configuration controls the maximum
traffic rate sent or received on an interface. Consider this form of rate
limiting on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out
of the network. Traffic within the set limit is sent and traffic exceeding the
set limit is dropped or sent with a different priority. |
Priority |
Lists the traffic shaper queue priority. There are
8 queues (0 - 7), and traffic is queued in each based on incoming packets
802.1p markings. |
Packets Sent |
Provides a baseline of the total number of packets
sent to assess packet delays and drops as a result of the filter rules applied
in the traffic shaping configuration. |
Packets Delayed |
Lists the packets defined as less important than
prioritized traffic streams and delayed as a result of traffic shaping filter
rules applied. |
Packets Dropped |
Lists the packets defined as less important than
prioritized traffic streams, delayed and eventually dropped as a result of
traffic shaping filter rules applied. |
Current Length |
Lists the packet length of the data traffic shaped
to meet downstream requirements. |
Current Latency |
Traffic shaping latency is the time limit after
which packets start dropping as a result of the traffic prioritization filter
rules applied. |
