Hi,
I realize that maximum line rate will limit your CIR because that is the
maximum you can ever push out. But other than that how is the CIR value
determined in the real world. Do the providers actually monitor if you go
above CIR and automatically drop packets, even if there is no congestion in
the cloud? Can you go above CIR? This is something done in the providers
switch? Also does the clock rate they set you to formulate into the Be
value? It seems to me from discussions I have with internal people who
monitor this stuff that when the provider says CIR, they really mean what we
understand to be mincir or guaranteed rate. So then, how do we figure
actual CIR?
