I guess maybe I need to make sure I understand the whole theory here. My understanding is that by setting Bc in conjunction with CIR, you are defining the delay by defining the timing interval with a maximum burst size and that by defining Be to anything other than 0 you are allowing specific instances where a burst larger than Bc will be allowed but marked DE ... or something like that but less jumbled that makes sense. I understand the mechanics of the commands, I just want to make sure I understand the theory. Thanks for the link Mark ... the explanation in that document is a bit clearer than the one in the FRTS docs. Thanks again Scott

To get a conceptual overview of how shaping and policing actually works, check out this link: (wrap) http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fqos _c/fqcprt4/qcfpolsh.htm as well as picking up the book IP Quality of Service (its actually a good read!) The most important section that explains traffic shaping on frame is the section "Traffic Shaping and Rate of Transfer". Look for that, it explains it very well! Short answer, you can define Be/Bc values, but you're really better off leaving it to IOS to figure out. hth, -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Davis, Scott [ISE/RAC] [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 9:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FR traffic shaping [7:51044] I am not clear on two of the settings when configuring a map-class.
