Hi Ryan.
nope doesnt expain what i'm after...theres a lot of particulary vague doco
on CAR, what i am looking for is how to answer the question
Do not allow allow traffic to exceed <somevalue> (ie 500000 (bps)
This implies policing and becasue of the CAR/Police BC value, the value you
put in could be exceeded because CAR is a limiter over an extended period of
time. ?? not a strict limiter on bandwidth ...
So I am now in the dark, not only as to how IE come up with their answer but
the whole world of CAR/policing (CBWFQ) is a mystery.
