Configuring Aggregation Classes

Aggregation Class Description

An Aggregation Class (AGC) is used to determine whether the traffic stream

meets certain throughput goals. Traffic that meets these goals is conformant.

Traffic that does not meet these goals is non-conformant. Depending on the

configuration of the classifier rules, non-conformant traffic may be delayed,

policed, that is dropped, or marked. An Aggregation Class groups traffic from

distinct rules and measures its throughput.

You can configure an Aggregation Class with two parameters: meanrate and

burstsize. The meanrate is the rate, in kilobits per second (kbps), to which the

traffic rate should be coerced when measured over a long interval. The

burstsize is the maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted over a short

When you initially create an AGC, a burst of traffic is conformant—

regardless of how quickly it arrives—until the size of the burst (in bytes) is

equal to or larger than the burstsize you configured for the AGC. When the

burst reaches the configured burstsize, traffic is non-conformant, but the AGC

increases the rate at which traffic is transmitted based on the configured

meanrate. Traffic that arrives consistently at a rate less than or equal to the

configured meanrate will always be marked conformant and will not be

delayed or dropped in the respective shaper or policer stages.
