respectively. The maximum size of the token bucket P is BP and the

maximum size of the token bucket C is BC.

The token buckets P and C are initially (at time 0) full, that is, the token

count Tp(0) = BP and the token count Tc(0) = BC. Thereafter, the token

count Tp is incremented by one PIR times per second up to BP and the

token count Tc is incremented by one CIR times per second up to BC.

When a packet of size B bytes arrives at time t, the following happens if

trTCM is configured to operate in Color-Blind mode:

If Tp(t)-B < 0, the packet is red, else

if Tc(t)-B < 0, the packet is yellow and Tp is decremented by B, else

the packet is green and both Tp and Tc are decremented by B.

When a packet of size B bytes arrives at time t, the following happens if

trTCM is configured to operate in Color-Aware mode:

If the packet has been precolored as red or if Tp(t)-B < 0, the

packet is red, else

if the packet has been precolored as yellow or if Tc(t)-B < 0, the

packet is yellow and Tp is decremented by B, else

the packet is green and both Tp and Tc are decremented by B.

The trTCM can be used to mark a IP packet stream in a service, where

different, decreasing levels of assurances (either absolute or relative)

are given to packets which are green, yellow, or red. Refer to RFC 2698

for more information on other aspects of trTCM.

A policy map can contain 128 class statements that can be applied to

the same interface (

page 301

). Up to 26 policy maps can be configured

for ingress ports.

After using the policy map to define packet classification, service

tagging, and bandwidth policing, it must be assigned to a specific

interface by a service policy (

page 301

) to take effect.
