The Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) policer policy is a bandwidth-limiting profile that limits the amount of
outbound traffic from the AOS unit to the Metro Ethernet network (MEN). The amount of traffic can be
limited on Ethernet virtual connections (EVCs), user network interfaces (UNIs), or EVC maps based on
traffic committed burst size (CBS), committed information rate (CIR), excess burst size (EBS), and excess
information rate (EIR). The CBS and CIR thresholds specify the committed burst sizes and transmission
rates of traffic. When these thresholds are exceeded, traffic may be dropped. The EBS and EIR thresholds
specify the excess burst sizes or transmission rates (over and above the committed sizes or rates),
specifying the maximum burst size or rate allowable before the traffic is dropped. In this way, the MEF
policer policy functions similarly to Frame Relay policing. Properly configuring the MEF policer policy
relies on specifying the name and the thresholds for the policy, and applying the policy to an EVC
component (UNI, EVC, or EVC map).
MEF policer policies are created and configured using the mef policer <name> command from the Global
Configuration mode as follows:
>enable
#configure terminal
(config)#mef policer Policy1
(config-policer-Policy1)#
