If I remember correctly, it goes more like this:
You take the desired bps limit, say 8,000,000, to make it easy.
You divide that by 8 to get bytes. So 1,000,000 bytes.
Then you multiply that bytes value times 1.5 to get the bytes burst value.
1,500,000 bytes.
Then for the bytes excess burst value, you multiply the bytes burst value
times 2. 3,000,000 bytes.
At first glance, one would think that these high burst values would result
in output that would exceed the desired rate, but Brian Dennis did some
testing a few weeks back and found that this formula made the bandwidth
approximate the limit, while if one just specified bits per second without
setting bytes burst and bytes excess burst, the bandwidth gets throttled
down way too low.
Check out the archives or search your emails for the last month or so to get
it straight from the horse's mouth. I am going from memory here.
