It's no wonder - my english writing skill is poor.

Let me explain. For example, we have pipe with bw 1Mbit/s and burst size is
5GByte. If we try to download 10Gbyte through this pipe following will happen:
1) 1st 5Gbyte of data will go with 'wire speed'.
2) last 5Gbyte will be shaped to 1Mbit/s
Could you please mail me whole 'burst' part (as it should be), and i will fix
it.
