7.2. Traffic Rate in Packets (traffic-rate-packets) Sub-Type 0x0c

The traffic-rate-packets Extended Community uses the same encoding as the traffic-rate-bytes Extended Community. The floating point value carries the maximum packet rate in packets per second. A traffic-rate-packets of 0 should result in all traffic for the particular flow to be discarded. On encoding, the traffic-rate-packets MUST NOT be negative. On decoding, negative values MUST be treated as zero (discard all traffic).

Interferes with: May interfere with the traffic-rate-bytes (see Section 7.1). A policy may allow both filtering by traffic-rate-packets and traffic-rate-bytes. If the policy does not allow this, these two actions will conflict.
