• Exceed Action — An action to be applied to frames that are over the limits
(called out-of-profile traffic). These frames can be forwarded as is,
dropped, or forwarded, after rewriting their DSCP value with a value that
marks them as lower-priority frames for all subsequent handling within the
device.
A policer is assigned to a class map when a class map is added to a policy.
