Statistical Policing¶
Goals¶
In this example we combine a sliding window rate meter with a probabilistic packet dropper to achieve a simple statistical policing.
INET version:
4.4Source files location: inet/showcases/tsn/streamfiltering/statistical
The Model¶
In this configuration we use a sliding window rate meter in combination with a statistical rate limiter. The former measures the thruput by summing up the packet bytes over the time window, the latter drops packets in a probabilistic way by comparing the measured datarate to the maximum allowed datarate.
Here is the network:
