cir — The cir parameter defines the constraints enforced when adapting the CIR rate defined within
the queue queue-id rate command. The cir parameter requires a qualifier that defines the
constraint used when deriving the operational CIR for the queue. When the cir parameter is not
specified, the default constraint applies.
adaptation-rule — Specifies the criteria to use to compute the operational CIR and PIR values for this
queue, while maintaining a minimum offset.
Values max — The max (maximum) keyword is mutually exclusive with the min and
closest options. When max is defined, the operational PIR for the queue will be
equal to or less than the administrative rate specified using the rate command.
min — The min (minimum) keyword is mutually exclusive with the max and
closest options. When min is defined, the operational PIR for the queue will be
equal to or greater than the administrative rate specified using the rate command.
closest — The closest parameter is mutually exclusive with the min and max
parameter. When closest is defined, the operational PIR for the queue will be the
rate closest to the rate specified using the rate command.

Description This command configures the average frame overhead to define the average percentage that the
offered load to a queue will expand during the frame encapsulation process before sending traffic on-
the-wire. While the avg-frame-overhead value may be defined on any queue, it is only used by the
system for queues that egress a Sonet or SDH port or channel. Queues operating on egress Ethernet
ports automatically calculate the frame encapsulation overhead based on a 20 byte per packet rule (8
bytes for preamble and 12 bytes for Inter-Frame Gap).
When calculating the frame encapsulation overhead for port scheduling purposes, the system deter-
mines the following values:
• Offered-load — The offered-load of a queue is calculated by starting with the queue depth in
octets, adding the received octets at the queue and subtracting queue discard octets. The result is
the number of octets the queue has available to transmit. This is the packet based offered-load.
• Frame encapsulation overhead — Using the avg-frame-overhead parameter, the frame encapsu-
lation overhead is simply the queue’s current offered-load (how much has been received by the
queue) multiplied by the avg-frame-overhead. If a queue had an offered load of 10000 octets and
the avg-frame-overhead equals 10%, the frame encapsulation overhead would be 10000 x 0.1 or
1000 octets.
For egress Ethernet queues, the frame encapsulation overhead is calculated by multiplying the
number of offered-packets for the queue by 20 bytes. If a queue was offered 50 packets then the
frame encapsulation overhead would be 50 x 20 or 1000 octets.
