Description: This table enumerates specific token-bucket meters that a system may use to police a stream of traffic. Such meters are modelled here as having a single rate and a burst size. Multiple meter elements may be logically cascaded using their diffServMeterSucceedNext pointers if a multi-rate token bucket is needed. One example of this might be for an AF PHB implementation that used two-rate meters. Such cascading of meter elements of specific type of token-bucket indicates forwarding behaviour that is functionally equivalent to a multi- rate meter: the sequential nature of the representation is merely a notational convenience for this MIB.

Entries in this table share indexing with a parent diffServMeterEntry although they must be managed (e.g. created/deleted) by explicit management action, independently of the associated value of diffServMeterSpecific.
