Rate-limit ACL question

[Jonathan Quinones]

Need some clarification on rate-limiting traffic acl's.  Simple question.

If you have a rate-limit acl, does the deny exclude it from the rate-limiting or does it drop it?

For example,

My understanding is that that object-group will not be rate-limited but any other traffic will be rate-limited.  Is that correct.

!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1

 rate-limit input access-group 100 1000000 128000 128000 conform-action continue exceed-action drop

Extended IP access list 100
        10 deny ip object-group TEST-OBJ-GROUP any (7655128 matches)
    20 permit ip any any (6806787 matches)

"Deny", for a rate-limit, means rate-limit ignores that traffic.

"Permit", for a rate-limit, means that traffic is subjected to the rate-limit.
