Rate-limiting in BGP ( Some Urgent Questions)

Hi Everyone:

I have few questions for you. I will appreciate if you
could please provide some feedback.

1)If we have to prevent DOS attack in BGP . Lets say
we have a specific route on R1 with a defined
community and we are advertising it to our ibgp
neighbors, R2 and R3. R2 and R3 will recieve this
specific community and we want to limit the rate-limit
the traffic to 256000 bps on R2 and R3. How can we do
it.

 
I do know about black-holing techique, but in this
case we want to rate limit the traffic.

I am reading the following document but not sure if
this is the right approach

Configuring QoS Policy Propagation via Border Gateway
Protocol

2)If we have to configure a router to send an SNMP
trap if the CPU usage is 50 percent. We need to send
the trap to a particular host lets say 1.2.3.4 with a
community string CISCO

 snmp-server host 1.2.3.4 traps CISCO
 snmp-server enable traps cpu threshold

But I am not able to find out an option where I can
configure the value 50 percent. On CCO, I found the
following option, please let me know if I am wrong

process cpu threshold type {total | process |
interrupt} rising percentage interval seconds [falling
percentage interval seconds]

3) RATE-LIMIT:

If we have to rate-limit the traffic to 512 kbps with
minimum burst, do we have to configure be and bc as 0
or do we have to configure bc as 1.5*512 and be as
2*bc

 
Best Regards
Azhar
