Opened: Feb 20, 2015

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Categories in BWC policy with traffic priority groups can be configured with sum of maximum category rates lesser than the maximum user rate. The goal for per-subscriber traffic prioritization is to provide weighted bandwidth allocation when a subscriber limit is reached. The prioritization of traffic is applied when the network congestion is detected.

Impact

An invalid configuration is added without warning or error.

Conditions

Occurs when categories in BWC policy with traffic priority groups are configured with sum of maximum category rates lesser than the maximum user rate.

Workaround

Configure categories in BWC policy with traffic priority groups such that the sum of maximum category rates is greater than or equal to maximum user rate.

Fix Information

None
