Table 3-8 Egress Message Throttling Configuration Set Elements
Field (* indicates required field) | Description | Data Input Notes |
---|---|---|
* Egress Message Throttling Configuration Set Name | A name that uniquely identifies the Egress Message Throttling Configuration Set. | Format: String: case-sensitive; alphanumeric and underscore (_); must contain at least one alpha; cannot begin with a digit. Range: 1 - 32 characters |
* Max Egress Message Rate | A maximum Egress Message Rate (EMR) on a connection being throttled Note: The EMR is calculated every 100ms by subtracting the oldest traffic count from the newest traffic count, and averaging the difference over the elapsed time between them. |
Format: numeric Range: 10 - 10000 Default: none |
* Throttle Threshold Level 1 (%) | Throttle Threshold Level 1. When Threshold exceeds Level 1, Congestion Level is set to 1 | Format: numeric Range: 2 - 100 Default: 100 |
* Abatement Threshold Level 1 (%) | Abatement Threshold Level 1. When Threshold falls below Level 1, Congestion Level is set to 0. | Format: numeric Range: 1 - 99 Default: 80 |
Throttle Threshold Level 2 (%) | Throttle Threshold Level 2. When Threshold exceeds Level 2, Congestion Level is set to 2. | Format: numeric Range: 4 - 100 Default: none |
Abatement Threshold Level 2 (%) | Abatement Threshold Level 2. When Threshold falls below Level 2, the Congestion Level is set to 1. | Format: numeric Range: 3 - 99 Default: none |
Throttle Threshold Level 3 (%) | Throttle Threshold Level 3. When Threshold exceeds Level 3, Congestion Level is set to 3. | Format: numeric Range: 6 -100 Default: none |
Abatement Threshold Level 3 (%) | Abatement Threshold Level 3. When Threshold falls below Level 3, the Congestion Level is set to 2. | Format: numeric Range: 5 - 99 Default: none |
* Convergence Time (msec) | The time it takes in milliseconds to converge on a per second rate. If the convergence time is less than 1000 milliseconds, the rate is Convergence Time (msec) extrapolated. If the convergence time is greater than 1000 milliseconds, the rate is averaged. The rate convergence time is the amount of time it takes for the measured rate to converge on the actual rate. |
Format: numeric Range:
Default: 250 |
* Abatement Time (msec) | This value specifies the amount of time that a throttled connection's Egress Request Rate must remain below an abatement before allowing it to abate to a lower CL. For example, if the following is true:
Then all of the message rate calculations during a contiguous 500 msec must be less than 800 MPS in order for the congestion level to be reduced from CL3 to CL2. |
Format: numeric Range: 200 - 10000 Default: 500 |
