[j-nsp] RE: ERX ATM traffic shaping parameters

[Fran Singer]

In response to the message below, here are the answers that Technical
Publications has received to these questions from JUNOSe Software
Engineering, in case this information is of interest to the wider
juniper-nsp audience.
1. The parameters specified in the atm pvc command are applied to egress
only. 
2. There is no ATM-specific alarm/trap generated when the rate limit is
reached or exceeded. In simpler cases, you can use Event Manager to
generate such traps based on transmitted bytes statistic change.

	Hi All, 
	I apologize in advance if this isn't the right forum for ERX
questions (and
	if not, could someone direct me towards the appropriate
newsgroup?). 
	When you configure an ATM VC you have the ability to include TS
parameters
	for peak, avg and burst as below
	
	atm pvc 114 0 114 aal5snap 60000 60000 1
	
	My question is (and I've been looking through all the ERX pdfs I
could get),
	are these parameters for egress only, or for ingress and egress?
	Also, is it possible to configure the ERX to trigger an
alarm/trap when rate
	limiting commences?
	
	Thanks
	Chris
