Ohio,

I disagree with your Be. I believe you got that
thought from this paragraph:

"The amount of excess data allowed to be sent during
first Tc interval in bits once credit is built up.
Configure Be only if the Frame Relay CIR value is less
than the AR. For PVCs carrying voice packets, the Be
must be set to zero to ensure best possible voice
quality. The router only bursts (Be) when there are
tokens in the token bucket. The token bucket does not
accrue tokens unless the amount of traffic being sent
out is less than the CIR. The router can only burst
for the first Tc, after which the token bucket is
empty. The value of Be by default is zero bits."

/end

Be should be able to OCCUR ANYTIME - the Tc interval
keeps recyling. I believe the above interpretation of
the paragraph, should be understood to be within each
Tc cyle.

Q) Otherwise why bother with a Be - if you can only
have it once?!?!?!
