All buffer space is initially allocated to access pools, and some of it is reallocated to network pools if network interfaces are configured on it.

All buffer space is initially allocated to network pools, and some of it is reallocated to access pools if service SAPs are configured on it.

Buffer space is allocated 50% for access pools and 50% for network pools.

Buffer space is allocated 25% for access pools and 75% for network pools.

The three most significant (first) bits define 8 forwarding classes.

The three least significant (last) bits of the DSCP specify the drop probability.

The full 8 bits of the TOS field are used for DSCP.

To convert DSCP to IP precedence, the three most significant (first) bits are matched.

DSCP provides for eight drop probabilities.

Packets corresponding to a layer-2 service can be pre-marked on SAP-ingress.

All incoming packets belonging to forwarding class “l2” are stored in the reserved buffer space.

All incoming packets belonging to forwarding class “af” are stored in the reserved buffer space.

All incoming packets belonging to forwarding class “l1” are stored in the reserved buffer space.

In-profile packets in the shared buffer space are being dropped.

An arbiter can adjust the CIR of its child policers.

An arbiter rate-limits the collective output of several policers towards each egress FFPC.

An arbiter can adjust the bandwidth assigned to its child arbiters and child policers.

An arbiter does not need to honor the configurations of its child policers.

The larger the configured MBS value, the lower the amount of shaping performed.

When policing is enabled on the SAP-ingress, all traffic is considered as in-profile.

Setting the CIR to 1000 and the PIR to max will enable shapeless policing at 1 Mbps within the SAP-egress policy.

Configuring MBS to equal CBS will disable shaping.

Setting the CIR and PIR to equal values disables soft-policing.
