The Meter Table enumerates specific token bucket meters that a system may use to police a stream of classified traffic. Such a stream may include a single micro-flow, all traffic from a given source to a given destination, all traffic conforming to a single classifier, or any other cut of the traffic, including all of it. Note that the conceptual model requires all traffic to pass through one or more meters, and that the last meter configured in such a sequence must always conform. Counters in this table start counting on creation of the meter that specifies their existence.
