Configuration Examples for Fairness Across DOCSIS Interfaces

This section lists the following sample configurations for the Fairness Across DOCSIS Interfaces feature on
a Cisco CMTS router:

Example: Maximum EIR Demand Ratio

The following sample configuration shows maximum EIR demand ratio configured on the router:

The effect of the cable acfe max-eir-ratio command is demonstrated using a simple BG cluster.

On this RF channel, 20 percent of the bandwidth is reserved by the 'bandwidth-percent' allowing Fairness
Across DOCSIS Interfaces feature to use 27 Mbps, that is: (100 - 20) * 90 * 37.5). If the 'max-eir-ratio' is
above 100 and the WB interface has 99 active BE flows and the IC interface has only 1 BE flow, then IC
interface gets only 270 kbps, that is 1/(1+99)*27 of the bonus bandwidth. The BE traffic enjoys perfect fairness
here. However, it is not possible to admit a unicast CIR flow beyond 270 kbps on the IC interface, as it would
exceed the bonus bandwidth. If the 'max-eir-ratio' is set to 10, then the IC interface is treated to have 99/10
flows on it, resulting in a higher bonus bandwidth allocation. The 'max-eir-ratio' is a trade-off between perfect
fairness and CIR utilization.
