I am confused as to how the burst rate is calculated. If we take the following formula in input the values from the example it comes up with a different number than is given in the solution.
max(1/30 *<rate_interval>, 10)
max(1/30 * 7200) which give me 240 seconds
Now the only way i was able to make the math come out is if I did the following.
240 second / 10 seconds = 24 seconds
Then
24 seconds * 1000 packets per second = 24,000 packets per second.
Is the calculation correct? Can you explain why we caculate it this way?
Also the following is stated "The burst-rate interval is calculated automatically with the formula above." in the writeup. They way I read this I shouldn't have to input the burst-rate however the command is not accepted without that value. Can you explain further what you meant by this?
