The Network Processor logs discarded packets and keeps a summary of nine categories of “offender’s lists”. The top 10 offenders in each category display in IP Policing “offender’s list” statistics. For the rogueMediaOffendersList
and mediaOffenderListstatistics
, a new entry is created when the destination IP address or destination UDP port is different than the existing entries. The rogue media offender's list includes the column “Source Unique” to identify when packets are discarded for each listed offender entry. If the “Source Unique” field is “notUnique”, the packets from multiple source IP Address or source UDP port are discarded. If the source unique field is “unique”, the packets from a single source IP Address/UDP port are discarded.
For all other “offender’s list” categories, a new entry is created when the source IP address is different than the existing entries.
