Hello,

Browsing around Cisco site and learning about Policing, I came across with the following statement>

Mean rate, Burst size, Time Interval
where Mean rate = burst size/ Time Interval

and

"By definition, over any integral multiple of the interval, the bit rate of the interface will not exceed the mean rate. The bit rate, however, may be arbitrarily within the interval"

Can anyone explain the above definition ?

Thank you!
