cable upstream rate-limit
cable upstream rate-limit
To set DOCSIS rate limiting for an upstream port on a cable interface line card, use the cable upstream
rate-limit command in cable interface configuration mode. To disable DOCSIS rate limiting for the
upstream port, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description

Defaults
Token-bucket algorithm with traffic shaping
Command Modes
Interface configuration (cable interface only)

Usage Guidelines
Upstream rate limiting allows upstream bandwidth requests from rate-exceeding CMs to be buffered
without incurring TCP-related timeouts and retransmits. This enables the Cisco CMTS to enforce the
peak upstream rate for each CM without degrading overall TCP performance for the subscriber CPE
devices. Upstream grant shaping is per cable modem (SID).
When the token-bucket algorithm is configured, the Cisco CMTS automatically drops packets in
violation of allowable upstream bandwidth.
Use of the default value (the upstream port's rate limit) enforces strict DOCSIS-compliant rate limiting.
Cisco highly recommends to using the default setting of token-bucket with the shaping option.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the token bucket filter algorithm with traffic shaping on
upstream port 4:
router(config-if)# cable upstream 4 rate-limit token-bucket

no cable upstream n rate-limit
Modification
This command was introduced.
The shaping keyword was added.
Specifies the upstream port number. Valid values start with 0 for the
first upstream port on the cable interface line card.
(Optional) Enables rate limiting for the specified upstream cable
interface using the token-bucket policing algorithm. The shaping
option enables token-bucket shaping.
