I've always had a problem with the semantics of this, perhaps I need to go back to highschool? Or perhaps Cisco programmers instead??
When I say this link will have this bandwidth it sounds to me like it's a dedicated bandwidth that limits the link to the given value. When I say priority I think of a link with several clients where one of them gets priority over the others, but in case there are no others it can get more. When I check the books it all looks to be the opposite way, why!?!?!? Also, what about "police"?

"bandwidth" configures the queue weights to implement a minimum bandwidth guarantee for the class. More traffic can be sent if BW is available.. more verbose: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk543/tk757/technologies_tech_note09186a 0080103eae.shtml oli _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
