Dustin,

It used to be that you needed to use rate-limit vs MQC is you needed to
police a subset of traffic to a portion of the overall rate. For example,
if you needed to police all traffic to 10 mb but within that 10 mb, FTP was
to be limiting to just 2 mb of the 10 mb.

Now, however, you can do the same thing within MQC. So, the only thing I
can think of that would require using the rate-limit command is if you had
to use just 1 command to rate-limit traffic that either ip prec x or ip prec
y, etc. But, it might be possible to do that with MQC also given how often
they're expanding the capability of MQC.

See the command reference for more detail on rate-limit.

HTH, Tim

Hi group,
Can some one with good knowledge about the differences b/t these two method
and shed me some light? I'm confused when to use rate-limit and when to use
police. Basically, I read the cco docs look like they all both offer same
functions to me
Thanks, Dustin
