Look at this, example 3 :

Any remaining traffic is limited to 8 Mbps, with a normal burst size of 16000 bytes and an excess burst size of 24000 bytes. Traffic that conforms is transmitted with an MPLS experimental field value of 5. Traffic that does not conform is dropped. See the following command in the example:

rate-limit input 8000000 16000 24000 conform-action set-mpls-exp-transmit 5
exceed-action drop

So when you are given the normal burst size of 150kbps and an Max Burst size of 300kbps you should just convert them into bytes and type them

Solution 2 is correct according to me.

If the normal burst size and an Max Burst size are not given shten you should calculate them based on this formulas:

normal burst = configured rate * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds

extended burst = 2 * normal burst

Hope this I right

Best,
Nick

if the b is lowercaps its bits so you should divide by 8. That give's you
the burst size per timing interval. Not per second. So you have to convert
the bps to a byte per timing interval value. I believe the timing
interface for CAR is 1,5. So that makes 300000/8*1,5=56250.

-> solution 3.

Don't forget the "exceed-action drop".

| Then the second figure is Normal burst which is number of Bytes.
|
| Then the third value is the Maximum Burst which is number of Bytes.

| sorry made a small typo... this is the exact config i have done
|
| hie all just a lil confusion
|

|
| is my config rite ? the confision is in normal n max is it in bytes or
| bits...somebody please lead me out...
