I'm asking why you first state that Be is not limited by AR * Tc and
then go with AR - CIR * Tc as the solution

Are you sure that I said this? Were you speaking with Brian McGahan
possibly?

Brian,
we are drifting towards nonsense...

-I'm not talking about configuring wrongly CIR over AR.
I've labbed already that if you configure a huge Be, the router will
send at AR for as long as it can (i.e. as long as credit is available).

-I'm asking why you first state that Be is not limited by AR * Tc and
then go with AR - CIR * Tc as the solution

Following the thread, I get the impression that I've been clear in my
point and answers are not on the spot, so to say...
