Resource Allocation for Service Ingress QoS policies

The available global pool of ingress internal CAM hardware resources can be allocated as per user
needs for use with different features such as SAP ingress QoS policy, ingress ACLs, etc. SAP
ingress QoS can be allocated classification and meter resources for use from this pool. Further on,
resources can be allocated for different SAP ingress QoS policy classification match criteria, based
on the operator needs. Users can modify the resource allocated to scale the number of entries
available per match criteria or scale the number of SAPs. The resources from the global ingress
internal CAM pool are allocated in chunks with fixed number of entries.
The number of chunks to be allotted for SAP ingress QoS policy is specified using the CLI
command configure> system> resource-profile> ingress-internal-tcam> qos-sap-ingress-resource.
User can specify a limit for the amount of resources required for SAP ingress QoS policies and
also an option to limit the amount of resources used per match criteria supported for SAP ingress
QoS policies. A given chunk can be used for either MAC criteria or IP criteria or IPv6 criteria.
Allocation of classification entries also allocates meter/policer resources, used to implement per
FC per traffic type policing.
By default, the system allocates resources for SAP ingress QoS policies to maintain backward
compatibility with release 4.0 and allocates resources for MAC criteria and IP criteria (by setting it
to 'max'). Setting the value to 'max' allows each match criteria to use the available SAP ingress
QoS resources on first-cum-first-served model. By default, software does not allocate resources
for use by ingress IPv6 filters. Before associating an IPv6 SAP ingress policy to a SAP, resources
must be allocated. Until resources are allocated for use by IPv6 filters, software fails all attempts
to associate an IPv6 filter policy with a SAP.
When the user allocates resources for use by SAP ingress QoS policies using the CLI command
configure> system> resource-profile> qos-sap-ingress-resource, the system allocates resources in
chunks of 256 entries. The usage of these entries by different type of match criteria is given below:
