Policing traffic on Router

[cisconoobie]

When I want to limit traffic using MQC on a router with the police command I get 3 options.

# police [ bps , cir , rate ]

I know bps but whats the different between bps, cir and rate? Doesn't it all do the same thing?

Hi,

police bps and police cir bps are the same.

police rate allows you to specify packet per second instead of bps
