Setting the Inflate Reservations Percentage
By default, THE RESOURCE MANAGER does not add a safety buffer to each
ST2 reservation on a line. To inflate reservations made on this line, enter a percent
value to increase each bandwidth request.
Increase the value of this parameter if you notice that the Resource Manager is
discarding packets because applications generating reserved traffic are exceeding
their flowspecs.
Specifying the Unreserved Policing Algorithm
The Resource Manager uses one of two policing algorithms for unreserved traffic:
• Queue Limit -- Restricts the number of buffers (packets) of unreserved traffic
that the Resource Manager queues.
This method of policing enables unreserved traffic to use available reserved
bandwidth. Set the Unreserved Queue Length parameter to specify the
maximum number of packets in the queue.
• Leaky Bucket -- Causes the router to actively police the unreserved traffic
based on the unreserved bandwidth.
This method does not allow unreserved traffic to take advantage of available
reserved bandwidth.
You can set the Unreserved Policing Algorithm for this interface.

Note: If you enable priority queuing for this line, the router uses the priority
queue parameters to perform Queue Limit policing. See Configuring Traffic
Filters and Protocol Prioritization for information about priority queue
parameters.
