policing question

Hi Group,

If a task says:

"traffic from host x.x.x.x should be limited to 500000 bps with a normal
burst size of 32kbytes and an excess burst of 64 kbyte.
conforming traffic should be transmit
non-conforming traffic should be dropped"

so to me:
cir = 500000
bc = 32000
be = 64000

so what does conforming traffic mean? to me, conforming traffic is 'cir +
bc', isn't it? non conforming traffic would be 'be'

if that's true, this would relate me to:

police 500000 32000 64000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

If that is true, why tells us the task to configure the 'be'?

Second question, is it correct that

conform action = cir + bc
exceed action = be
violate action = everything beyound be

thanks in advance

Roger
