someone help me understand this please!!

I’ve read over the butch whatever post on that site about bursting and still I am confused just need some conformation on some things, please help..

Max Limit: Once average speed hits B-threshold speed is controlled by M-limit as long as average is below B-threshold, then the speed limit is set by B-limit.

Burst Limit: Speed while average is below B-threshold, once average exceeds B-threshold speed drops to M-limit.

Burst Threshold: Once average speeds exceeds B-threshold speed is controlled by M-limit.

Burst Time: When speed goes above 0 the average speed per second is determined, once average speed exceeds B-threshold speed is set by M-limit.

I need these questions confirmed here…

Does speed drop to M-limit once it exceeds B-threshold or does it wait for the B-time seconds to be reached?

also

When does the average get set to 0 and the timer start?

The manual has a great section on bursting including a picture (http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.9/root/queue||0.3581803776574673).


Q: Does speed drop to M-limit once it exceeds B-threshold or does it wait for the B-time seconds to be reached?

From the manual: " when the average data rate becomes larger than burst-threshold. At this moment burst is disabled and the current data rate falls down to max-limit (256kbps)."

Q: When does the average get set to 0 and the timer start?
A: It does not get “set to zero”… From the manual: " If this average data rate is less than burst-threshold" then bursting is enabled.
