A method for oversubscribing bandwidth in a communication network, is disclosed. The
method includes policing a first data flow and outputting a first output data flow from the first
meter, in relation to a first Committed Information Rate (CIR) and a first Peak Information
Rate (PIR); policing a second data flow and outputting a second output data flow from the
second meter in relation to a second CIR and a second PIR; and policing an aggregated
output data flow of the first output data flow and the second output data through a third meter …
