Hello Dave,

Here is the reference at cisco.com, that I found quite useful to understand
how CAR
actually works:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/qos_c/
qcpart4/qcpolts.htm#xtocid241935

As for recommended burst values, i took them from command reference:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124tcr/tqos_r
/qos_q1ht.htm#wp1080850

HTH
