Updating a traffic rate limit for policing traffic

Abstract:

A network device may obtain policer configuration information. The network device may determine, based on the policer configuration information, a traffic rate limit associated with a traffic protocol type. The network device may obtain, based on the traffic protocol type, networking data associated with the traffic protocol type. The network device may determine, based on the networking data, an expected traffic rate associated with the traffic protocol type. The network device may update, based on the expected traffic rate, the traffic rate limit. The network device may cause traffic associated with the traffic protocol type to be policed based on the updated traffic rate limit.
