+// This is the hardware representation of the policer.
+// To be multithread-safe, the policer is accessed through a spin-lock
+// on the lock field. (For a policer update operation, 24B needs to be
+// modified and this would be a challenge to do with atomic instructions.)
+// The structure is padded so that no other data is put into the same
+// 64B cache-line. This reduces cache-thrashing between threads.
+//
+// A note on scale:
+// The HW TSC tick is roughly one CPU clock cycle.
+// This is shifted to create a larger period, with a goal to be around 50usec.
+// The period time will vary based on CPU clock speed.
+// CPU speeds of 1Ghz to 8Ghz are targetted.
+// The shift amount is a constant 17 bits, resulting in a period between
+// 16usec (8Ghz CPU) and 131usec (1Ghz CPU).
+// The token_per_period computation takes into account the clock speed.
+//
+// The 32-bit bucket/limit supports about 850ms of burst on a 40GE port,
+// or 340ms on a 100GE port. If a larger burst is configued, then the
+// programmed value is simply capped at 2^32-1. If we needed to support
+// more than that, the bucket and limit fields could be expanded.
+//
+// tokens_per_period should be > 1000 to support 0.1% granularity.
+// To support lower rates (which would not meet this requirement), the packet
+// length, bucket, and limit values can be scaled. The scale is a power of 2
+// so the multiplication can be implemented as a shift. The control plane
+// computes the shift amount be the largest possible that still supports the
+// burst size. This makes the rate accuracy as high as possible.
+//
+// The 64-bit last_update_time supports a 4Ghz CPU without rollover for 100 years
+//
+// The lock field should be used for a spin-lock on the struct.

+ // rarely occur. If overflow does happen, the only effect will be that
+ // fewer tokens than the max burst will be added to the bucket for this
+ // packet. This constraint on tokens_per_period lets the ucode omit
