The hardware supports meter rates in the multiples of 8 kb/s for the entire range of CIR or PIR rates supported on the device. The system identifies the best operational rate depending on the defined constraint. The following constraints are supported:
minimum
The system finds the next multiple of 8 kb/s that is equal to or greater than the specified rate.
maximum
The system finds the next multiple of 8 kb/s that is less than or equal to the specified rate.
closest
The system finds the next multiple of 8 kb/s that is closest to the specified rate.
