Usage Information You must configure the peak rate and peak burst size using the same value: kilobits
or packets per second. Similarly, you must configure the committed rate and
committed burst size with the same measurement.
Peak rate refers to the maximum rate for traffic arriving or exiting an interface
under normal traffic conditions. Peak burst size indicates the maximum size of
unused peak bandwidth that is aggregated. This aggregated bandwidth enables
brief durations of burst traffic that exceeds the peak rate and committed burst.
Committed rate refers to the guaranteed bandwidth for traffic entering or leaving
the interface under normal network conditions. When traffic propagates at an
average rate that is less than or equal to the committed rate, it is considered to be
green-colored or coded. When the transmitted traffic falls below the committed
rate, the bandwidth, which is not used by any traffic that is traversing the network,
