I said it DID NOT congest the link. the total bandwidth was under 128 K at
that point. Voice is very SOLID. Not bursty at all.

The burst can be configured to help drop more aggressively dude!!! Or extend
to not drop packets if need be.

WHY do we configure Q limit then? So the drop happens somewhere else?

You are taking me out of context here. I said the burst was high for the rate
being sent through the class but the burst parameter was not set to sustain
it. That is what I inferred.
