Hi Guys,
Let's say that i have the following configuration for traffic shaping on my router:
shape average 1000000 125000 3000000
So my shaping paramters are:
CIR: 1,000,000 bit/sec
Bc: 125,000 bits
Be: 3,000,000 bits
Tc: 125ms
So every 125ms the shaper runs and sends 125,000 bits of data. This happens 8 times per second for a rate of 1,000,000 bits/sec.
Now, if the router is idle, since i have a very large Be, I can build up credit. So if i'm idle for 2 seconds, does that mean that i can build up 2,000,000 bits worth of credit and then send it out all at once? If so, wouldn't I exceed my CIR of 1,000,000 bits per second? Or does it only allow you to build up credit upto 1 second worth not to exceed the CIR?
Thanks.
