RIF max frame sizes

Is there a method or way to determine what the max frame size is in a RIF
with out memorizing the bit patterns and their corresponding max frame
sizes? For example, in the below patterns of the 3 frame size bits in the RC
field of a RIF, I don't see a mathematical pattern that can help me
determine what the max frame size is with out memorizing the bit pattern and
sizes. Anyone know how these sizes were derived?

000 516
001 1500
010 2052
011 4472
100 8144
101 11407
110 17800
111 64000

Dhans came up with the following; I thought everyone might want to see it.

The way to go. Ineed GTS is the answer.

CIR = Bc/Tc
CIR = 1500000 bits/sec
Tc = 0.075 sec
Bc= Tc*CIR = 1500000*0.075 = 112500

traffic-shape rate 1500000 112500 112500

under TR should be sufficient

Other non-engg method is to try some values for be and be and look for sh
traffic-shape output and tune the values by iteration

Thanks !
