| 10 | Recommendations |
| 11 | --------------- |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Metering is fully supported, though it is recommended that changes to metering |
| 14 | be avoided unless necessary to meet a specific need. Metering can sometimes lead |
| Hyunsun Moon | d1e8733 | 2022-02-18 15:07:20 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | to counter-intuitive behavior, such as unexpected limitations in network performance. |

| 17 | Description |
| 18 | ----------- |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Aether Supports three levels of QoS metering: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * Per-Device-Per-Application. These meters apply to specific flows between devices |
| 23 | and applications. As a device may connect to many applications, it may have many |
| 24 | flows, and therefore many different meters may be specified. These meters are |
| 25 | configured in the Application page of the GUI. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * Per-Device. These meters apply to the aggregate of all flows from a device, |
| 28 | regardless of the application the device is connecting to. These meters are |
| 29 | configured in the Device-Group page of the GUI. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * Per-Slice. These meters apply to the aggregate of all flows from all devices to |
| 32 | all applications within the slice. These meters are configured in the Slice page of the GUI. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | These three levels of metering are depicted below: |
