RE: MQC for bandwidth reservation (max-reserved-bandwidth 100)

        The interface "bandwidth" command is what the available bandwidth
value is based off of.

Available bandwidth = (interface_bandwidth * max-reserved-bandwidth/100) -
RTP - LLQ - RSVP

        The reason you would need to specify the bandwidth value is when the
provisioned rate of the interface does not match the interface bandwidth
command. For example, suppose you have a 1Mbps circuit you are leasing that
is dropped off as FastEthernet. Although the interface bandwidth is
100Mbps, it would not make sense to calculate a QoS policy on 100Mbps, as
the upstream provider is policing at 1Mbps. Therefore the "bandwidth" value
should be adjusted to 1Mbps.
