This association describes a predecessor-successor relationship between a MeterService and one or more ConditioningService objects that process traffic from the meter. For example, for devices that implement preamble marking, the FollowingService reference (after the meter) is a PreambleMarkerService - to record the results of the metering in the preamble. It might be expected that the NextServiceAfterMeter association would subclass from NextService. However, meters are 1:n fan-out elements, and require a mechanism to distinguish between the different results/outputs of the meter. Therefore, this association defines a new key property, MeterResult, which is used to record the result and identify the output through which this traffic left the meter. | Qualifiers:Version ( "2.7.0" ) UMLPackagePath ( "CIM::Network::QoS" ) Association | Parameters (local in grey) | | Key CIM_ConditioningService REF FollowingService ; The 'next' or following ConditioningService. | ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" } Values { "Unknown" , "Conforming" , "Partially Conforming" , "Non-Conforming" } Key uint16 MeterResult ; Information on the result of the metering. Traffic is distinguished as being conforming, non-conforming, or partially conforming. More complicated metering can be built either by extending the enumeration or by cascading meters. | Key CIM_MeterService REF PrecedingService ; The preceding MeterService, 'earlier' in the processing sequence for a packet. |
