        I agree. There's the testing (lab) world and then there's the real
world. Sorry about the ms/us mistake. I stand corrected on that one. :-)

For the scope of a practice lab/scenario, if the values specified match the
syntax of the command, I would suspect that the writer of the practice
lab/scenario is really just looking for a basic answer.

'ms' is milliseconds.
125ms is 1/8th of a second.
125 microseconds would be 1/8000th of a second.

As far as I know, Cisco is not expecting CCIE candidates to have knowledge
of details hidden in internal documents that few people have access to.

How the router / switch actually interprets the command is another story.

        I don't believe it's that cut and dry Marvin. The Bc is based on a
Tc. The timing interval (Tc) for bursting on all switch platforms is tied
to hardware.

        The only reason I know this at this level of granularity is because
I teach the Cisco QoS class. It's VERY HARD to find this documentation. I
found it on an internal document.

        Although I can't share the doc with you, the rate limiting interval
for the 2950 is 1/8000th of a second or 125ms. The interval is the same for
the 3550, and 4000 (Sup3 or better). The CAT 6500 supports a rate limitting
rate of 1/4000th of a second or 250ms. I'm going to go out on a limb here
and state that this is for the SUPI and SUPII, while the SUP720 supports a
rate-limitting rate of 125ms. I thought I read that in this document as
well, but I can't find it. Maybe it's in the SUP720 product sheet. Not
100% on the 6500 comments.

Sincerely,

Dennis Hartmann

On the 3550, you can use the police command to rate limit traffic. The
syntax is 'police rate-bps burst-byte [exceed-action {drop |
policed-dscp-transmit}] ' under policy map configuration.

So, to police to 2Mb with 64Kb you would configure 'police 2000000 8000
exceed-action drop'. (Note that the normal burst value is in bytes, where
the rate is in bits per second.

cat3550-1(config-pmap-c)#police ?
  <8000-1000000000> Bits per second
  aggregate Choose aggregate policer for current class

cat3550-1(config-pmap-c)#police 2000000 ?
  <8000-2000000> Normal burst bytes

cat3550-1(config-pmap-c)#police 2000000 8000 ?
  exceed-action action when rate is exceeded
  <cr>

cat3550-1(config-pmap-c)#police 2000000 8000 exceed-action ?
  drop drop packet
  policed-dscp-transmit change dscp per policed-dscp map and send it

cat3550-1(config-pmap-c)#police 2000000 8000 exceed-action drop

Importance: Low

Question is
Rate limit a traffic on VLAN 20 upto 2M wiht 64Kbps of normal burst rate.
I can't figure out what will be normal burst byte size based on 64Kbps.
I hope someone help this explaining relation between normal burst rate and
byte size.

In case of Frame-relay, since the time interval = 1/8 sec, I can figure out
the size of Be if I know burst rate.

But in case of CAT, I am a little bit clueless.

Thanks
