sh policy-map int = offered rate vs conformed.

[albertoconde]

Hi, I tried to use the policy-map in a router 7500 to limit the bandwidth to 2Mbps but what I see in the "sh policy-map int" as "30 second offered rate" is what I see in my MRTG grafic utilization tool. What is the real transmition rate int the "sh policy-map int"? "30 second offered rate" or "conformed"?

access-list 1 permit any

class-map match-all class1

match access-group 1

policy-map BW2048k-8000

class class1

police 2048000 8000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

sh policy-map int ...

30 second offered rate 2547000 bps, drop rate 662000 bps

conformed 2001000 bps, exceed 662000 bps

The confirmed rate will be allowed by the interface and the packets exceeding the conformed will be droped by RED or WRED as a congestion management process.

Thanks r-simpson, all my reserach confirm what you say, but when I take utilization graphics using MRTG (a SNMP based tool) I get the offered rate instead the actual confirmed rate. Do you have any idea about why this happens or how to get the real bandwidth allowed by the policy.
