Controls the definition of the rate limit for the policing rule, for packets that Vyatta NOS directs to the action group that you specify.

policy
This keyword exists for 'organizational' purposes only, to structure the configuration path for relevant command strings.
action
This keyword exists for 'organizational' purposes only, to structure the configuration path for relevant command strings.
name <action-group-name>
The name of a QoS action group.
police
This keyword exists mainly for 'organizational' purposes, to structure the configuration path for relevant command strings. However, it also introduces some additional bandwidth or rate limit restrictions on packets that the system identifies by the match rule that you specify elsewhere in the command string.
ratelimit <limit>

The maximum rate. That is, the number of packets that the system will accept in one second.

Use a number plus a suffix to define the units. No space. For example: 80kpps; 2mpps.

The following suffixes are supported:

  • kpps: Thousands of packets per second
  • mpps: Millions packets per second
