Hi,

I don't think you compute a Tc for policing. I have
not found a link that even talks about the use of Tc
with policing. I'll try to find a link that talks
about the time interval. I do agree that this is the
formula for computing the Tc for shaping.

I wonder if the rate command is from the Car days.
Maybe it has to be in 8k increments? I did see where
it is used for traffic that is sent to the control
plan.

Here is an example. we are told to limit a particular
flow to 8,000 bits/s. We are also told that the we the
flow we are watching is 1024 bytes; however, we would
like to allow for any size packet with a minimum burst
size. What do you think you would list as your
policing statement?
