Overview

The RateClass interface enables you to work with the definitions and attributes of a rate class class. Rate filtering refers to the ability to enforce configurable bandwidth consumption limitations upon user-defined traffic classes. The purpose of a Rate class is to allow the network administrator to effectively divide a single bandwidth resource through a gateway among preferred applications or traffic classes. Rate filtering is somewhat related to packet filtering. The key difference between the two is that packet filters seek to enforce an access policy on traffic, and Rate Filter classes seek to enforce a throughput policy on traffic.

Dynamic Method Handling

Instance Method Details

#all_statistics ⇒ RateClassStatistics

Gets the statistics for all the rate classe.

Returns:

Raises:

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::AccessDenied) —

    raised if the client credentials are not valid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::InvalidArgument) —

    raised if one of the arguments is invalid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::OperationFailed) —

    raised if an operation error occurs.

  super
end

#base_rate ⇒ RateUnit

Gets the base rates for this rate classe. The base rate specifies the maximum throughput to allot to traffic handled by the Rate Class. Packets in excess of the posted rate will be dropped.

Returns:

Raises:

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::AccessDenied) —

    raised if the client credentials are not valid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::InvalidArgument) —

    raised if one of the arguments is invalid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::OperationFailed) —

    raised if an operation error occurs.

#burst_size ⇒ long

Gets the burst sizes for this rate classe. The burst size specifies maximum number of bytes that traffic is allowed to burst beyond the base rate.

Returns:

  • (long)

Raises:

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::AccessDenied) —

    raised if the client credentials are not valid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::InvalidArgument) —

    raised if one of the arguments is invalid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::OperationFailed) —

    raised if an operation error occurs.

  super
end

#ceiling_rate ⇒ RateUnit

Gets the ceiling rates for this rate classe. The ceiling rate specifies how far beyond the base rate the traffic is allowed to flow when bursting. The ceiling rate is an absolute limit - it is impossible for traffic to flow at a higher rate than the ceiling rate, even when bursting. If the ceiling rate is omitted or is equal to the base rate, the traffic may not exceed the base rate. It is illegal for the ceiling rate to be less than the base rate.

Returns:

Raises:

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::AccessDenied) —

    raised if the client credentials are not valid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::InvalidArgument) —

    raised if one of the arguments is invalid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::OperationFailed) —

    raised if an operation error occurs.

#set_drop_policy(opts) ⇒ Object

A drop policy controls which packets are dropped when a rate filter needs to throttle traffic. A rate filter collects traffic in a number of queues, classified according to the rate filter’s queueing method (see set_queueing_method). The drop policy determines how traffic is dropped from each queue with each queue’s being treated the same. This method sets the name of the drop policy. Three pre-defined drop policies exist. "fred“ drops packets according to the type of traffic. "red” drops packets randomly. "tail“ drops packets from the end of the queues.

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash)

Options Hash (opts):

  • :policies (String) —

    Name of the drop policy for each specified rate filter class (default: “tail”)

#set_queueing_method(opts) ⇒ Object

Sets the queueing method, specifying how packets are queued for rate filtering, effectively determining the class of traffic which is dropped, if necessary. Two pre-defined methods exist. "sfq“ queues traffic according to the connection information, i.e., being fair to individual connections. "pfifo” queues traffic according to the Type of Service (ToS) packet field. This method is a more expansive version of the set_queue_type method, whose two enumerated types map exactly to the pre-defined "pfifo“ and "sfq” objects.

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash)

Options Hash (opts):

  • :methods (String) —

    Name of the queueing method object for each specified rate filter class (default: “sfq”)

Raises:

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::AccessDenied) —

    raised if the client credentials are not valid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::InvalidArgument) —

    raised if one of the arguments is invalid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::OperationFailed) —

    raised if an operation error occurs.

#set_shaping_policy(opts) ⇒ Object

Sets the shaping policy, used to specify custom drop policies and queueing methods. A shaping policy encapsulates a set of rate filter class configuration attributes into a single object. Once created, this object can be used to create rate filter classes more easily, by specifying a shaping policy rather than all of its attributes individually. Note that this is purely a convenience interface. There is nothing in a shaping policy which cannot also be done via a rate filter class object.

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash)

Options Hash (opts):

  • :policies (String) —

    Name of the shaping policy object for each specified rate filter class (default: none)

Raises:

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::InvalidArgument) —

    raised if one of the arguments is invalid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::OperationFailed) —
