I am super excited to join you in this set of videos and labs
regarding control plane policing.
A router's job, as far as forwarding packets,
could be considered pretty easy if that information is cached,
it's making forwarding decisions using the CEF, Cisco Express
Forwarding.
But there's other types of traffic, like control plane
traffic, like router updates and connections from management
stations where the router has to put a lot of dedicated CPU
into it, and if you don't protect that plane, that
control plane, our routers could go belly up, and not WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
control plane, our routers could go belly up, and not
be able to do their jobs.
So that's what this set of videos and labs are all about,
control plane policing, and we'll
start in the very next video by taking a look
at a structure called the MQC that we can use as a mechanism
to both design, implement, and verify control plane policing.
I'll see you in the next video.
