Friends,

Well... checking into 7.2 question of Version 3 WB, it is not a question
about FRTS it is about policing.

With FRTS Bc is bits, but with policing is Bytes, thus 128 kbits/4 = 32
kbits => 4K Bytes

The answer says

Police cir 128000 bc 4000

Best Regards,
Roberto

        In this case yes, but not always. The default Tc is a function
of the CIR. The higher the CIR the lower the maximum (and default) Tc.
Change the "frame-relay cir" value in a map-class with no other values
configured and look at the "show traffic-shape" output. As the CIR goes
up you will see the Tc go down.
