You can use the monitor to verify that the traffic is behaving as you configured it to work in the policy.
The following figure is a list of possible monitor output for the policy set above.
Look for the fields that obtain their data from your traffic. Make sure to check the total bits, bits in-profile, packets in-profile, and bits out-of-profile fields. Bits out-of-profile indicate when traffic exceeds the configured policy values. In a differentiated service policy, the out-of-profile number indicates the number of bytes being dropped. The in-profile packets indicate the number of bytes controlled by this policy (from the time the packet was started to the present monitor output).
The values you assign to the Average Token Rate Limit field are also important. When packets exceed this limit, the system begins to drop them. As a result, the bits out-of-profile increase. This shows you that the policy is behaving as you configured. To change the amount of bits out-of-profile, you need to adjust your performance limits. See Monitoring QoS for a description of all the monitor fields.
