Chris,

There is an interesting thing they say about 3550 policing:

Specifically:

---- quote

These parameters control the operation of policing:

- Rate - defines how many tokens are removed at each interval. This
effectively sets
 the policing rate. All traffic below the rate is considered in profile.
Supported rates
 range from 8 Kbps to 2 Gbps, and increment by 8 Kbps.

- Intervaldefines how often tokens are removed from the bucket. The
interval is fixed
 at 0.125 milliseconds (or 8000 times per second). This interval cannot be
changed.

- Burstdefines the maximum amount of tokens the bucket can hold at any
time.
 Supported bursts range from 8000 bytes to to 2000000 bytes, and increment
by 64 bytes.

I wonder if they do actually use *leaky* bucket with 3550 policer and
*token*
bucket (metering) with CAR/IOS Policer..
