Packet processor with multi-level policing logic |
摘要 |
<p>A switch includes a backplane and multiple packet processors. One or more packet processors include multi-level policing logic. The packet processor receives a packet and classifies the packet into multiple policeable groups. The packet is compared against bandwidth contracts defined for the policeable groups. Nested lookups are performed for the packet in a policing database to identify the multiple groups and to retrieve policing data for the multiple policeable groups. The policing results, which may be combined into a single policing result by taking the worst case policing result, are applied to disposition logic as recommendations, and are combined with other disposition recommendations to make a disposition decision for the packet. <IMAGE></p> |
