CFHP policer control policy

Provisioning CFHP requires creating policer control policies (policer-control-policy), and applying a policer control policy to the ingress or egress context of a SAP or to the ingress or egress context of a subscriber profile (sub-profile), much the same way scheduler policies (scheduler-policy) are applied.

Applying a policer control policy to a SAP creates an instance of the policy that is used to control the bandwidth associated with the child policers on the SAP. In a similar fashion, an instance of the policy is created when a subscriber profile associated with the policy is applied to a subscriber context. The subscriber policy instance is used to control the bandwidth of the child policers created by the SLA profile instances within the subscriber context.

Policer control policies can only be applied to SAPs created on Ethernet ports. When the policy instance is created, any policers created on the SAP that have an appropriate parent command defined are considered child policers.
