Commands for Resource Allocation in Flows

  • To simultaneously create a flow and add resources to it, use the following command syntax:

    $ flowadm add-flow -l link \
       -a attribute=value[,attribute=value] \
       -p prop=value[,...] flow

    The set of defined attributes that characterizes the flows constitutes the system's flow control policy.

  • To set the property of an existing flow, use the following command syntax:

    $ flowadm set-flowprop -p prop=value[,...] flow

    prop refers to the flow properties that can be assigned to a flow. The flow properties are the same as the properties that are assigned directly to a link. However, only the bandwidth and priority properties can be associated with flows.

For more information, see the flowadm(8) man page.
