[c-nsp] Policing VLANs on a trunk

[Arie Vayner (avayner)]

Actually, this is a common requirement...
Imagine you get multiple customer circuits from a 3rd party provider or a lower aggregation layer bundled on a trunk, each on their own VLAN, and the NPE device is your 1st policy enforcement point to make sure the customer does not use more than what they are buying...

You don't say why you wish to do this so can I ask why you would care ?
If there is capacity on a pipe let it it filled up in the sequence packets arrive.
Now if there is some sort of QOS requirements for voice perhaps ...
