On the page, it states...

"Which Traffic Classes Can Use Excess Bandwidth?

Although the bandwidth guarantees provided by the bandwidth and priority
commands have been described with words like "reserved" and "bandwidth to be
set aside", neither command implements a true reservation. In other words,
if a traffic class is not using its configured bandwidth, any unused
bandwidth is shared among the other classes. "

I have found that this isn't true.  It does reserve bandwidth, at least with
RSVP.  If you create a policy that takes 360K of a 364K link, then try to
set up a call using RSVP (and gave RSVP 24k or so) the call won't go
through.  Even though there was no other traffic going through, RSVP
couldn't reserve any bandwidth because it was allocated to the other
classes.  So if someone says that it dosen't reserve bandwidth, they're
wrong.
