Class Fair Hierarchical Policing (CFHP)
In This Section
This section provides information to configure CFHP QoS policies using the command line
interface.
Topics in this section include:
Introduction
CFHP merges the benefits of non-delay rate enforcement inherent to policers with the priority
and fairness sensitivity of queuing and scheduling. CFHP is implemented as a group of child
policers mapped to a parent policer where the rate enforced by the parent both obeys strict
priority levels and is class fair within a priority level. At the parent policer, the output of a
lower priority child policer cannot prevent forwarding of packets of a higher priority child
policer and when multiple child policers share the same priority level, the system maintains
a Fair Information Rate (FIR) for each child that is separate from a child's PIR and CIR rates.
Policers can also be used standalone. The parent is optional.
With 9.0R1, multi-service sites support policer-control-policy in the in the ingress and egress
in addition to scheduler-policy.
