Correct so far?
So, CIR sets the bandwidth total for that circuit, correct? This is in bits, btw.
Committed Burst is in bytes. That means that if we hit a bottle neck everything up to the roughly 60 megabits over the CIR threshold is guaranteed. The Extended Burst is set to roughly 120 megabits. This means that if they ever go 120 megabits over their CIR threshold, any and all data will be dropped.
Do I have the right idea here?
Or is BC and BE not in addition TO overall bandwidth, but only take affect in case OF bandwidth issues?
Example:
policy-map police-300mb
class access-match
police cir 300000000 bc 7812500 be 15625000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop violate-act
