Hi, Alsontra,
Thank you for your response!
Q1. I think there is difference between Class Base Policy and CAR, so the recommendation you mentioned may not be used here.
Q2. If the exceed action is remarking, does it mean the remarked packets can be propagated? Any difference between inbound and outbound? And any other tricky?
Q3. I've read DQoS. It only mentioned that normal burst of 1 second worth of CIR in bytes. Should I use CIR*1(second)/8 as the normal burst? Am I missing something?
Q4. yes, you are right. The default Bc should be 9375. Sorry there was a typo error. My question is why the time interval is 1/4 second (or 1/4 of CIR in byte)?

Hi Taiyi Sun,
Here are my thoughts...

300K
The Cisco recommendation is as follows:
"Policing Traffic with CAR
CAR embodies a rate-limiting feature for policing traffic. When policing
traffic with CAR, Cisco recommends the following values for the normal and
extended burst parameters:
normal burst = configured rate * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds
extended burst = 2 * normal burst"
Meaning your normal burst should be se to 1.5 * normal rate (in bytes).
The default action on all my routers to use 1/4 of the Cir as the normal
burst value. On all of my switches, you must specify a normal burst. There
appears to be no default, you must give a normal burst value.
<--------------Switches--------------->
SW1(config-pmap-c)#police 300000
% Incomplete command.
<---------------Routers--------------->
R5(config-pmap-c)# police 300000
R5(config-pmap-c-police)#do sh policy-map
Policy Map QOS_TEST
Class class-default
police cir 300000 bc 9375 <------1/4 Cir in bytes
conform-action transmit
exceed-action drop
R5(config-pmap-c-police)# police 100000
R5(config-pmap-c-police)#do sh policy-map
Policy Map QOS_TEST
Class class-default
police cir 100000 bc 3125<------1/4 Cir in bytes
conform-action transmit
exceed-action drop
R5(config-pmap-c-police)# police 6000000
R5(config-pmap-c-police)#do sh policy-map
Policy Map QOS_TEST
Class class-default
police cir 6000000 bc 187500<------1/4 Cir in bytes
conform-action transmit
exceed-action drop
I recall reading something about this CAR default bc behavior, but I can not
find it at the moment. So my above statements regarding the default behavior
of the normal burst value are based on its observed behavior.
>Q3. Is the configuration above correct?
I think this is wrong ---> police 300000 37500 conform-action transmit
exceed-action drop
(normal burst needs to be in
bytes)
I think this is correct ---> police 300000 9375 conform-action transmit
exceed-action drop
or---> police 300000

What does

appreciated?
normal burst = configured rate * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds
extended burst = 2 * normal burst"
See answer to question 1.
There are a few resident expert in the areas of QOS on this list, perhaps
they will grace us with a more astute explanation. :-)
