We're upgrading our 300Mb circuit with a full 1Gb circuit and I'm wondering what the recommended inbound policing percentages are for burst-normal and burst-max.
on the 300Mbps link we have:
police 275000000 55000000 110000000 conform-action transmit exceed-action transmit violate-action drop
Is the recommended percentage 18% and 36% respectively or is there a formula for this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello,
the formula is:
normal burst = configured rate * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds
extended burst = 2 * normal burst"
So in your case, the values would be:
police 275000000 51562500 103125000 conform-action transmit exceed-action transmit violate-action drop
which actually come very close to what you had originally configured.

Thanks for your reply. So for the 1G link I'm moving to, the numbers are as follows?
1,000,000,000 * 1 byte/8bits *1.5 ==> 187,500,000 and 375,000,000?
Any reason to put less than full rate of link in policing statement?
We currently have a 300Mb CIR on our existing link, but the policy was configured for 275,000,000
Our new circuit is a 1Gb link and I was going to put 910,000,000 instead of 1,000,000,000 on the policing statement, but is there a reason not to use 1,000,000,000?
Hello
For a single rate -dual bucket- three colour policer
My understanding as follows:
BC = CIR/32
or
BC =CIR*0.25/8
Be=BC
so given that formula the above would be -
275mb
275000000 8593750 8593750
or
281600000 8800000 8800000
1gb
1000000000 31250000 31250000
or
1024000000 32000000 32000000
Usually you would apply policing ingress, an example of this would be to police traffic ingress on you wan rtr for traffic originating from your Lan so as not to overwhelm egress traffic on your wan connection.
