Traffic Policing
Traffic Policing, used in ATM, Frame Relay, and other types of networks, is a process used to measure the actual traffic flow across a given connection and compare it to the total admissible traffic flow for that connection. Traffic outside of the agreed-upon flow can be tagged (where the CLP bit is set to 1 for low priority traffic in ATM network) and can be discarded en route if congestion develops.
