Here is what the "other" Brian is doing:

Bc = (64000 * 125)/1000

As opposed to:

Bc = (64000 * .125)

In this example he is saying Tc = 125ms and you are saying Tc = .125
seconds. They are both the same.

Brian,

What units are you using to require division by 1000? Most Cisco
documents seem to give Bc= CIR * Tc.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk713/tk237/technologies_configuration_e
xample09186a00800942f8.shtml

See the document I cited in my earlier post (included above) under
"Nonconfigurable parameters - interval (Tc)" -

---
"The time interval during which you send the Bc bits in order to
maintain the average rate of the CIR in seconds.

Tc = Bc/CIR in seconds.

The range for Tc is between 10 ms and 125 ms." --- In the example given in the Cisco document, Bc is 8000 bits, CIR is 64000 bps, then Tc = 8000 bits / 64000 bps = 1/8 second.

Or if you use Bc = CIR * Tc, then Bc = 64000 bps * 1/8 second = 8000 bits.

What does dividing by 1000 get me?

Thanks.
