Hi,

I was thinking that if I was asked to configure this I'd probably do it
one way but they would have wanted it the other way.

In lab 18 I believe it says to limit broadcasts on a port, on the
catalyst, to 3Mb/s.

Ok, so I read that the percentage of bandwidth method is more accurate
and also hardware based but the answer uses the per packet method.

I'm taking it that 3,000,000 bits/s / 8 = 375,000 bytes/s. I'm
assuming that an average packet size of 1024 would make for an average
throughput of 366.21 of these kinds of packets/s.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Wouldn't it be easier to just say 30%, since it's a 10,000,000 bits/s
link?

set port broadcast 2/9 367
set port broadcast 2/9 30%

Thanks,

-Derek
