When an egress policer has been configured with a CIR (maximum or explicit rate other than 0) and profile-capped mode is not enabled, the policer’s CIR bucket state overrides the ingress soft-in-profile or soft-out-of-profile state much like the ingress policer handles initial profile undefined packets. If the CIR has not been defined or set to 0 on the egress policer, the egress policer output state is in-profile for soft-in-profile packets and out-of-profile for soft-out-of-profile packets.
If a packet’s profile has been reclassified at egress, the new profile classification is handled in the same way as the ingress policer handling of initial in-profile or out-of-profile packets. When a packet has been reclassified as hard-inplus-profile or hard-in-profile, it is applied to the egress policer’s CIR bucket using a threshold-bc higher than the threshold-bc derived from the policer’s CBS parameter, but the policer output profile state remains inplus-profile or in-profile even if the higher threshold is crossed. When a packet has been reclassified as hard-out-of-profile or hard-exceed-profile, it does not consume the egress policer’s CIR bucket depth and the policer output profile state remains out-of-profile or exceed-profile.
