Class CIM_DropperService
extends CIM_ConditioningService

DropperService represents the ability to selectively drop network traffic, and/or to invoke another ConditioningService (indicated using the NextService association) for further processing of traffic that is not dropped. It is the base class for different types of droppers. Droppers are distinguished by the algorithm that they use to drop traffic. The NextService association has special semantics for droppers, in addition to conveying the general information of 'what happens next' (that apply to all Conditioning Services). The queue(s) from which a particular dropper drops packets are identified by following chain(s) of NextService associations 'rightwards' from the dropper, until they reach a queue.

Name	Data Type	Default Value	Qualifiers
Name	Data Type	Default Value	Name	Data Type	Value
AlwaysDrop	uint16
			Deprecated	string	CIM_DropperService.DropperType
			Description	string	This property indicates whether the Dropper will always drop incoming packets (value=1) regardless of their type. It is deprecated since its information is conveyed by the DropperType property (value=4, 'Absolute Dropper').
			ValueMap	string	0, 1, 2
			Values	string	Unknown, Always Drop, Do Not Always Drop
DropFrom	uint16
			Description	string	This enumeration indicates the point in the associated queue (associated via the NextService relationship) from which packets should be dropped. If the value is 0 "Unknown", then packets MAY be dropped from any location in the queue.
			ValueMap	string	0, 1, 2
			Values	string	Unknown, Head, Tail
DropMaintainMetric	uint16
			Description	string	This property is an enumerated unsigned 16-bit integer that defines the metric used to determine when ALL packets will be dropped REGARDLESS of the type of algorithm used by this Dropper. Values are: 1: Other 2: Queue Threshold 3: Arrival Rate.
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3
			Values	string	Other, Queue Threshold, Arrival Rate
DropperType	uint16
			Description	string	This property is an enumerated 16-bit unsigned integer that defines the type of dropper. Its Values are: 1: Other 2: Random 3: HeadTail 4: Absolute Dropper Note: The DropperType property and the DropperService subclasses provide similar information. This property is defined for query purposes and to not require a subclass for all types of DropperServices (for example, to describe an Absolute Dropper in today's model). Therefore, DropperService can be instantiated directly and the Type property is needed.
			ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_DropperService.OtherDropperType
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3, 4
			Values	string	Other, Random, HeadTail, Absolute Dropper
DropStartMetric	uint16
			Description	string	This property is an enumerated unsigned 16-bit integer that defines the metric used to trigger the start of dropping packets. This does NOT mean that all packets will be dropped; it does mean that SOME packets will start to be dropped. The number and type of packets dropped is a function of the type of algorithm used by this Dropper. Values are: 1: Other 2: Queue Threshold 3: Arrival Rate.
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3
			Values	string	Other, Queue Threshold, Arrival Rate
OtherDropperType	string
			Description	string	This property contains a vendor-specific value for the type of dropping that is done. It is used when the value of the DropperType property is 1 (Other).
			ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_DropperService.DropperType
