This feature provides a CLI to disable storm control policing on known multicast streams. By default, known multicast streams are policed by storm control policers and the behavior is consistent across all platforms supporting storm control feature. With the new CLI we can change the default policing behavior for known multicast streams.

Storm control enables traffic policing on floods of packets on L2 switching networks. Support for counting dropped packets and bytes on interfaces where storm control metering is provisioned. Both packet and bytes count are supported and will be displayed. Drop logging on storm-control discards is also supported.

This document describes the support for VNI policing counters on VNIs where the VNI policing feature has been provisioned. Counters for this feature provide information on how many packets are being allowed or dropped for a VNI specific flow due to configured VNI policers. VNI policing counters are supported in both directions which correspond to incoming traffic from a remote VTEP and outgoing traffic towards a remote VTEP. Counters in each direction are configured separately. Both packet and bytes counts are supported.

The document describes the support for policing on one or more VNIs configured on a Vxlan interface. This feature allows dedicated policing of flows on a VNI in both directions which corresponds to incoming traffic from a remote VTEP and outgoing traffic towards a remote VTEP. Policers in the hardware are created with policer profiles attached to VNIs. Policer profiles can be shared across multiple VNIs but policers are dedicated.
