Well I can say from personal experience bandwidth does affect load
dramatically.

Try turning bandwidth to 1.

interface serial(x)
band 1
end

Then watch what happens to load. Basically, if you do that, what you are
telling the interface that this is a 1200bps modem speed :but that does not
mean you can't pump 1.5bps of clock rate thru that interface. Then just
put a little bit (poquito) of traffic thru that link and watch the load jump
to 255 in the blink of an eye.

I used to use bandwidth on a ISDN circuit years ago, --where I would (with a
lot of experimenting) tell it that the bandwidth was 24, (where the actual
throughput was 64K) so that it would make the load more sensitive to jump up
quicker so the "dialer load-threshold" would go over quicker and it would
wake up the second channel faster, but then go down faster when the load
dropped. I was making the load more sensitive, which in turn made the
turn-around on brining up or tearing down the second channel much quicker.

Isn't this stuff fun?

ok, now i have been told that the bandwidth command does not affect what the
load counter shows on the interface, i.e. 1/255 or whatever. after some
studying today on mmy lab, i think i have determined otherwise. any
comments?
