Traffic Policing Examples
Leaky Bucket 1
Leaky bucket 1 polices for the PCR compliance of all cells seeking admission to the network, both those
with CLP = 0 and those with CLP =1.
For example, cells seeking admission to the network with CLP set equal to 1 may have either
encountered congestion along the user’s network or may have lower importance to the user and have
been designated as eligible for discard in the case congestion is encountered. If the bucket depth in the
first bucket exceeds CDVT (0+1), it discards all cells seeking admission. It does not tag cells.
With policing set to 1 (Vbr.1), all cells (CLP=0 and CLP=1) that are compliant with leaky bucket 1, are
sent to leaky bucket 2.
With policing set to 2 (Vbr.2) or to 3 (Vbr.3), all CLP=1 cells compliant with leaky bucket 1 are
admitted directly to the network, and all CLP=0 cells compliant with leaky bucket 1 are sent to leaky
bucket 2.
Leaky Bucket 2
For Vbr connections, the purpose of leaky bucket 2 is to police the cells passed from leaky bucket 1 for
conformance with maximum burst size MBS as specified by BT and for compliance with the SCR
sustained cell rate. The types of cells passed to leaky bucket 2 depend on how policing is set:
• For policing set to 5, cells bypass both buckets.
• For policing set to 4, leaky bucket 2 sees no traffic.
• For policing set to 2 or 3, the CLP(0) cells are admitted to the network if compliant with BT +
CDVT of leaky bucket 2. If not compliant, cells may either be tagged (policing set to 3) or
discarded (policing set to 2).
• For policing set to 1, the CLP(0) and CLP(1) cells are admitted to the network if compliant with
BT + CDVT of leaky bucket 2. If not compliant, the cells are discarded. There is no tagging option.
Examples
Figure 21-24 shows a Vbr connection policing example, with policing set to 4, leaky bucket 1
compliant, and all cells being admitted to the network.
