Traffic Policer IP Cores
Overview
Sarance᾿s Traffic Policing algorithm implements policing as described by the IETF RFCs 2697 and 2698.
RFC2697 describes a single rate, three color (SrTCM) marker based on a Committed Information Rate (CIR), and two associated burst sizes: Committed Burst Size (CBS), and Excess Burst Size (EBS). A packet is marked green if it doesn᾿t exceed the CBS, yellow if it lies between the CBS and EBS, and red if it exceeds the EBS.
RFC2698 describes a two rate, three color (TrTCM) marker based on a Committed Information Rate (CIR), a Peak Information Rate (PIR), and two associated burst sizes: Committed Burst Size (CBS), and Peak Burst Size (PBS). A packet is marked red if it exceeds the PIR; otherwise it is marked yellow if it exceeds the CIR and green if it does not exceed the CIR.
