Petr -

Would you mind providing an example? I am not quite following the normal
burst formulae. Is the configured rate the CIR? Thanks for your help.

George,

There is no "universal formula" for calculating rate-limit (CAR) bursts.
However, there are some "best-practice" recommendations rate-limit
parameters:

normal burst = configured rate * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 second
extended burst = 2 * normal burst

They are mostly targetted to work with "adaptive" (TCP) flows.

CAR produces a sort of "RED behavior" when configured with
"extended burst". (This behavior changed with "policy" command)
