Antonio,

You are correct, but I'm going to attempt to clarify a bit, as I feel
that statement might confuse the issue to some. The documentation is
stating that the default burst size (Bc) is calculated off of a 200ms
interval of the configured mean rate (CIR), not that there is an
interval of 200ms that is somehow actually used or calculated by the
device.

The concept behind LLQ was to ensure voice was passed as quickly as
possible, so the priority queue is a policer. So, there is no
buffering, hence no Tc. They had to use some formula to calculate Bc
off of the rate, or they could have just assumed a default value (like
1500 bytes in policing in MQC).

Thanks,
 Mike

The feature document states that the interval is 200 ms:

Mike,
The requirement asks for burst of 64kbps while the command expects a
figure in byte To first number is dimensionally bit per second while the
second is byte or bit.
So to go from the first to the second we have to multiply by a time
interval

Burst size (byte) = burst (in bps) * time_interval / 8 (byte per bit)

So what is this time_interval ?

This is very similar to BC=CIR * Tc

Or I am completely wrong.....

Thanks,
Bit.

Wouldn't it just be: priority 128 8000 (burst is in bytes)

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something?

Does anyone knows how to calculate the burst size for the MQC priority
command?

priority {bandwidth-kbps | percent percentage} [burst]

For instance if the maximum rate is 128kbps and I want to allow burst of
64kbps
