Policer Definition
Policing is a rate based admission control function utilizing a leaky bucket alogrithm (see
Figure 7‐2). A policer keeps non‐conformant traffic from entering the network and degrading
other customers and/or services.
The Committed Information Rate (CIR) equals the rate guaranteed to the user. All traffic flow
below this rate is considered "green".
