Re: bps & Bytes

The reason one is in bps and teh other is in bytes is based off the policing algorithm. The burst is not a guaranteed additional rate on top of the CIR, it reltes to the amount of extra bytes that can be transmitted if credit has been built up by the traffic not using all available tokens during some period.
 
There is no real alternative other than writing a different policing algorithm do something other than standard policing, and there is no real demand to do that.

Dear GS!
bps and Bytes kicking a** Rate-Limiting Question:
So I need to police (MQC) or rate-limit (CAR) certain kind traffic, lets
say udp #6#, to 4Mpbs with normal burst of 300 Kbps..
I do not understand why the developers of this peace of IOS code made this
none standard input (bps and Bytes) parameters in police and car commands,
maybe they had a good time when designing this stuff =)
So in this situation:
access-list 101 permit udp any any eq #6#
using MQC
class-map ..
match .... 101
Policy-map ....
class ..
police 4000000 37500
or using car
rate-limit output access-group 101 4000000 37500
Thanks for any input
