Unnamed section[edit]

I've updated this page a bit, mostly to focus on dropping traffic - after all this is what policing is all about. Measuring traffic is called metering. I've also separated the ATM-specific stuff about connection admission control as to a newcomer I think it would be quite confusing. I quesiton whether the CaC stuff should be on this page at all, personally. Some of the sources pre-date widespread use of metering/shaping/policing on IP networks and reflect the emphasis of the mid-nineties on ATM. Behind The Wall Of Sleep 18:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
