Physical Link parameters

Bandwidth (Mbps)

The Bandwidth parameter specifies the maximum bandwidth allowed for each specified CoS. The default value is derived from the speed of the physical port. Because there are eight classes of service, the default value for each CoS is the speed of the port divided by eight. The XML values are shown in Table A-3, Bandwidth (Mbps) parameters .

Note: This parameter is only available if service CAC is configured. See the NSP System Administrator Guide for more information.

Booking Factor (%)

The Booking Factor parameter specifies the actual amount of bandwidth being booked on the physical link. For example, if a service requests 10 Mbps on CoS 0 and the booking factor on CoS 0 is 50%, then the actual amount of booked bandwidth is 5Mbs. The XML values are shown in Table A-4, Booking Factor (%) parameters .

Note: This parameter is only available if service CAC is configured. See the NSP System Administrator Guide for information.

Utilization Threshold (%)

The Utilization Threshold parameter specifies the percentage of bandwidth that, when exceeded, raises an alarm indicating that the used bandwidth has exceeded the maximum allowed bandwidth on the link. For example, if the threshold is set to 75% and the maximum allowed bandwidth is 20 Mbps, then an alarm will be raised when the used bandwidth value exceeds 15 Mbps. The XML values are shown in Table A-5, Utilization Threshold (%) parameters .

Note: This parameter is only available if service CAC is configured. See the NSP System Administrator Guide for information.
