Posted this before but didn't get a response, so here I go again :)

After reading the following CCO Doc:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fq
os_c/fqcprt2/qcfconmg.htm#1001336

you will see the following special note that seems to negate the need to
do all the normalize, divide, multipy stuff. The doc reads

" CQ was modified in Cisco IOS Release 12.1. When the queue is depleted
early, or the last packet from the queue does not exactly match the
configured byte count, the amount of deficit is remembered and accounted
for the next time the queue is serviced. Beginning with Cisco IOS Release
12.1, you need not be as accurate in specifying byte counts as you did
when using earlier Cisco IOS releases that did not take deficit into
account. "

Does this mean that we can use simple ratios for the byte-count
calculations? For example, if I need to give three separate protocols 33%
of the bandwidth, can I do "byte-count 500" for all three? It seems that
if the IOS is capable of remembering the byte-count deficit, that using
simple percentages should be OK. Any ideas would be appreciated.
