Re: MINCIR = CIR? (Was: Do you agree with this equation?)

Not silly at all. I think MINCIR on the router is equivalent to what the
service provider calls the "CIR".

CIR on the router is the level you as the customer would prefer to see the
line running at, which would be higher than what the provider is
guaranteeing.

Bc, Be are factors that influence the degree of variation above that
preferred CIR.

Someone tell me I'm on the right track?
