CISCO-LPTS-MIB
The MIB module for Local Packet Transport Services(LPTS) related information like the flows and the policer values related to various flows present in the system. The number of packets coming into the system is controlled by the policer values associated with the protocol. Each protocol is classified into different flows and a rate limit is associated with the flows. Policer is a numerical value controlling the number of packets entering the box. The flows represent individual, specific protocols. Flow types also represent the degree of trust for a given packet. Ex: BGP packets coming from established session is assigned one flow, packets from configured BGP peer are assigned different flow . Other BGP packets are assigned a third flow. Definitions: LPTS - Local Packet Transport Services. It is a network infrastructure subsystem that provides a common facility for transport of packets which are destined towards the router (for-us packets), to the exact applications. In addtion to that, it also provides policing of for-us packets FlowType - Represents individual, specific protocols. Flow also represents the degree of trust for a given packet. LC - Line Cards. Policer - Index to FlowType. CurrentRate - Number of packets allowed into the box in PPS (Packets Per Second). Type - Defines the scope of the flow applicable at a specific node or Line card. Precedence - Precedence is the selection mechanism for a specific Type if more than one Type is configured for the same flow. 'local' FlowType has higher precedence over 'global' and 'static' FlowTypes. 'global' FlowType has higher precedence over 'static' FlowType. nodeID - The line card for which the flow configuration is made.
