Hi,

When configuring violate action on CB Police, I understand Wendell explanation that "CB policing uses a simpler algorithm than CAR when a Be value has been configured". (pag. 348, DQoS)

Now, when violate action is not configured, does the algorithm is changed?
Or CB just checks Be and if there is not enough tokens the packet are transmitted or if there isn't the packet is discarded?
(no Dc and Da as in CAR)
Or, are once posted here, CB with Be withouth the keyword violate is not valid, although IOS takes the command?
