Method and system for meter conformance in a switch

A computer system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform a method for facilitating data transmission, the method comprising:
• obtaining one or more sets of configuration parameters for a plurality of traffic policing filters of the computer system, wherein a respective traffic policing filter corresponds to a token bucket, and wherein a number of tokens in the token bucket indicates whether to forward a packet associated with the traffic policing filter;
• determining token allocation frequencies for the plurality of traffic policing filters based on the one or more sets of configuration parameters;
• selecting a sampling interval from the token allocation frequencies based on a selection policy;
• and
• determining a performance rate for the plurality of traffic policing filters based on the sampling interval.
