Configuring Meters - Nortel business policy switch 2000 User Manual

Configuring meters

Metering operates at ingress and provides different levels of service to data
streams through user-configurable parameters. An example would be to limit
traffic entering a port to a specified bandwidth, such as 25 Kb/s (Committed Rate).
Instead of dropping all traffic that exceeds this threshold, traffic policing allows
you to configure a Committed Burst Rate to exceed the threshold (Committed
Rate), for a brief period of time, without being dropped.
To configure a meter:
1 Click the Application > QoS > QoS Advanced > Meters menu option .
The Meters page opens
Note: If you not metering data, go to
page 334.
