Policy A does _dropping_ only, Policy B does _remarking_ only:
POLICY-A
Classification statistics (packets/bytes)
Matched : 3603441/4167907032
Total Dropped : 2905456/3801500478
Policing statistics (packets/bytes)
Policed(conform) : 697985/ 366406554
Policed(exceed) : 2905456/3801500478 <- exceeds = drops
Policed(violate) : 0/0
Policed and dropped : 2905456/3801500478 <- drops
POLICY-B
Classification statistics (packets/bytes)
Matched : 204616674/189860926678
Total Dropped : 0/0
Policing statistics (packets/bytes)
Policed(conform) : 204089813/189071062300
Policed(exceed) : 526861/ 789864378 <- these are remarked
Policed(violate) : 0/0
Policed and dropped : 0/0 <- no drops at all
So it looks like there is a separate counter for the drops. I'm trying to see if there is any correlation between these counters and the SNMP ones.
I can indeed see what you are saying though, so let me try to get a definitive answer on it as right now I'm a bit lost as to how it's currently working (or even if the data we pull is valid, thanks to these stupidly named counters)... I'll get back to you when (or if) I find something more solid!...
Cheers!
