I know this doesn't answer your question, but from command reference, there
is a formula for configuring the normal and extend burst. I've found in
"real life" it to be true. Using the 'default' bytes for normal and extended
burst like the solution shows will seriously degrade the performance and it
will police at a much lower rate. Using the formula though works well. Since
this is the lab, I guess it doesn't matter.
I have no idea how they got 496000 either...based on the question and the
formula, I would have put in:
!
int e 1/0
rate-limit output access-group 191 500000 93750 187500 conform-action
transmit exceed-action drop

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure your CAR policy on an interface. To specify
multiple policies, enter this command once for each policy.
CAR and DCAR can be configured on an interface or subinterface.
Policing Traffic with CAR
CAR embodies a rate-limiting feature for policing traffic. When policing
traffic with CAR, Cisco recommends the following values for the normal and
extended burst parameters:
normal burst = configured rate * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds
extended burst = 2 * normal burst
With the listed choices for parameters, extensive test results have shown
CAR to achieve the configured rate. If the burst values are too low, then
the achieved rate is often much lower than the configured rate.
