â– Protocol drop probability for suspicious packets enables you to map a protocol
to a specific drop probability. The drop probability is the percentage probability
that a suspicious packet is dropped.
â– Protocol skip priority rate limiter enables you to configure the system so that
the specified protocol is not subject to the priority rate limiter for the priority
and DoS protection group selected. The default is off—the protocol is subject to
priority rate limiting.
â– Priority rate sets the rate of the priority in packets per second for the line module.
If this rate is exceeded, it triggers DoS suspicious control flow detection.
â– Priority burst enables you to set the number of packets allowed to exceed the
maximum rate before packets are dropped and DoS suspicious control flow
detection is triggered.
â– Priority oversubscription enables you to set an oversubscription factor for the
priority rate limiter. In addition to the priority rate, it calculates the minimum
rate limits for protocols with a priority grouping and allows for oversubscription
of the priority rate. The value indicates a percentage that the priority rate limiter
is allowed to be oversubscribed, in the range 100–1000.
Attaching Groups
By default, each interface belongs to the default DoS protection group. The name is
the only non-configurable aspect of the default DoS protection group.
The DoS protection group is a configurable parameter for all Layer 2 and IP interfaces.
Similar to other configurable interface parameters, the DoS protection group can be
set using profiles.
Because all newly created interfaces default to using the default DoS protection group,
they do not inherit any DoS protection group association from a higher or lower
interface binding.
The DoS group applies to all types of control flows for the specific interface. For
example, an IP interface supports a variety of control protocols, each of which can
be separately mapped to a priority and drop probability, but to a single DoS protection
group.
Protocol Mapping
Table 49 on page 462 and Table 50 on page 464 list the protocols mapped within DoS
protection groups.
