QoS Traffic Shaping Parameters

When configuring traffic shaping, there are several parameters that are used to tune the shaping behavior. These are:

• CIR is the committed information rate, which is the number of bits per second which is the data rate agreed upon between the ISP and the customer.
• Tc is the time interval used for calculations of the shaping.
• Bc is the committed burst rate. This is the number of bits that will be sent every Tc, based on the CIR
• Be is the excess burst rate, which is the additional bits per Tc that we will allow under certain conditions.
