Shared Pool of Additional Bandwidth with Select Flows
Figure 5 shows three classified flows, A, B, and C, each of which has an individual
rate limit with a peak rate of 1 Mbps. If flow A is exceeding its peak rate, rather than
drop the packet, the flow tries to use any bandwidth left in a shared rate limit
(extrabw) of peak rate of 2 Mbps. The packet is dropped only if both the individual
and the shared rate limit have no bandwidth left.
The total flow is limited to 5 Mbps, which is the sum of all the individual peak rates
plus the peak rate of the shared rate limit. Individual flows A, B, and C are limited to
a maximum of 3 Mbps (1 Mbps from its individual rate limit and up to 2 Mbps if it
can consume the entire shared pool); however, it cannot go below a 1 Mbps rate
because of the other flows. A shared rate limit enables many flows to share the
extra bandwidth dynamically.
