Please find the relation b/w Bc, Be, Tc

Committed Information Rate (CIR) Rate (bits per second) the frame relay
provider guarantees for data transfer. CIR values are set by the Frame Relay se
rvice provider and
configured by the user on the router.
Note: The port / interface access rate can be higher than CIR. The rate is aver
aged over a Tc period of time.
Committed Burst (Bc) Maximum number of bits the frame relay network commits
to transfer over a Committed Rate Measurement Interval (Tc).
Tc = Bc / CIR.
Excess Burst (Be) Maximum number of uncommitted bits the frame relay swit
ch attempts to transfer beyond the CIR over the Committed Rate Measurement Inte
rval (Tc).
Committed Rate Measurement Interval (Tc) Time interval over which Bc or
(Bc+ Be) bits are transmitted. Tc is calculated as Tc = Bc / CIR. The Tc value
is not directly
configured on Cisco routers. It is calculated after the Bc and CIR values are c
onfigured. Tc cannot exceed 125 ms.
Backwards Explicit Congestion Notification (BECN) A bit in the Frame Rela
y frame header that indicates congestion in the network. When a Frame Relay swi
tch recognizes
congestion, it sets the BECN bit on frames destined for the source router, inst
ructing the router to reduce the transmission rate.

                Here is the lab question:
                1. Your service provider has a policy to mark all
                traffic exceed 48 K with DE bit. BECN will be sent.
                2. Your service provider will discard all traffic
                exceed 64 K.
                3. You have decided perform traffic control as
                follows. When receive a BECN, lower the speed to 16K.
                You must use Map Class with CIR, Be, Bc, MINCIR to do
                this. Measuring interval is 125ms.

                Here is my guess at a config from Caslow-p812:

                Int s0
                Frame-relay traffic shaping
                frame-relay interface-dlci102
                class test
                map-class frame-relay test
                Frame-relay cir 64000
                Frame-relay bc 8000
                Frame-relay be 16000
                frame-relay mincir 48000

                My questions are:

                1) How do I change the measuring interval from the
                default of 142 to 125ms
                2) Is this enough to trigger when I receive a BECN or
                do I need to apply the map-class to the interface?
                3) I am confused as to how the cir, the bc, and the be
                relate to each other.
                Thanks in Advance.

                Regards,

                -Eddie
