CAC enforcement

The CAC is enforced when an administrator bandwidth is configured on a SAP, which may be when the administrator bandwidth is initially configured or when an existing administrator bandwidth value is modified.

The CAC enforcement is achieved by comparing the newly requested SAP administrator bandwidth (the incremental administrator bandwidth being configured above any currently assigned administrator bandwidth) with the available administrator bandwidth on its port or LAG.

The operation is as follows:

Example

In the following example, a port is configured with an administrator bandwidth of 500 Mb/s, and a SAP on that port is configured with a bandwidth of 10 Mb/s. The show output displays these configured values together with the available and booked administrator bandwidth for the port. An increase of the SAP administrator bandwidth to 600 Mb/s is attempted; the operation fails because of insufficient available administrator bandwidth on the port.

The booking factor for the port is increased to 200% and the increase of the SAP administrator bandwidth to 600 Mb/s is successful as the available administrator bandwidth for the port becomes 1 Gb/s. The booked administrator bandwidth for the port is 600 Mb/s and so the available administrator bandwidth for the port becomes 400 Mb/s.
