In regards to the bandwidth to be configured in the LAB.
 
I've done a couple of the IPExpert Prep Labs, and they all seem to
indicate that when in any given scenario you have to say for instance
configure 3 Mb/s CIR, they configure it with CIR = 3000 kb/s.
 
My question would be if the bandwidth is 3 Mb/s, shouldn't it be 3 *
1024 kb/s, which would give 3072 kb/s instead? Are you allowed to use
the calculator on the Windows 2000 box you use to configure the 8 or 9
Routers and Switch to calculate the precise X times 1024?, or is it a
straight forward X times 1000 to get the Bandwidth amount?
 
Regards
