Service Meter QoS Policy Commands
meter
Syntax meter meter-id [multipoint] [create]
no meter meter-id
Context config>qos>sap-ingress
This command creates the context to configure an ingress service access point (SAP) QoS policy meter.
Description
This command allows the creation of multipoint meters. Only multipoint meters can receive ingress packets
that need flooding to multiple destinations. By separating the unicast for multipoint traffic at service ingress
and handling the traffic on separate multipoint meters special handling of the multipoint traffic is possible.
Each meter acts as an accounting and (optionally) policing device offering precise control over potentially
expensive multicast, broadcast and unknown unicast traffic. Only the back-end support of multipoint traffic
(between the forwarding class and the meter based on forwarding type) needs to be defined. The individual
classification rules used to place traffic into forwarding classes are not affected. Meters must be defined as
multipoint at the time of creation within the policy.
The multipoint meters are for multipoint-destined service traffic. Within non-multipoint services, such as
Epipe services, all traffic is considered unicast due to the nature of the service type. Multicast and broadcast-
destined traffic in an Epipe service will not be mapped to a multipoint service meter.
When an ingress SAP QoS policy with multipoint meters is applied to an Epipe SAP, the multipoint meters
are not created.
Any billing or statistical queries about a multipoint meter on a non-multipoint service returns zero values.
Any meter parameter information requested about a multipoint meter on a non-multipoint service returns the
meter parameters in the policy. Multipoint meters would not be created for non-multipoint services.
The no form of this command removes the meter-id from the SAP ingress QoS policy and from any existing
SAPs using the policy. Any forwarding class mapped to the meter, will revert to their default meters. When
a meter is removed, any pending accounting information for each SAP meter created due to the definition of
the meter in the policy is discarded.
meter-id — The meter-id for the meter, expressed as an integer. The meter-id uniquely identifies the meter
