Go CCIE Go!! - A Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert

Here is a quote from Cisco concerning their testing philosophy:
The Routing and Switching exam tests your ability to apply configuration knowledge and skill to new situations; it is not a design test, nor is it always a test of “best practices” for use in the field
This means that you don’t need to worry about any sort of “best practice” solutions. Just do what the lab asks for and nothing more. If you start thinking about what you would do in a real network to answer a question, you are heading down the wrong road.

Hi guys n gals, I recently reviewed the IOS command reference http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124cr/hq os_r/qos_q1h.htm#wp1080850 and found something which I need clarification. Under the rate-limit command there’s this comment: ———————————————————————— ———————————————————————— —————————————————– Policing Traffic with CAR CAR embodies a rate-limiting feature for policing traffic. When policing traffic with CAR, Cisco recommends the following values for the normal and extended burst parameters: normal burst = configured rate * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds extended burst = 2 * normal burst With the listed choices for parameters, extensive test results have shown CAR to achieve the configured rate. If the burst values are too low, then the achieved rate is often much lower than the configured rate. ———————————————————————— ———————————————————————— —————————————————– However I cannot find any similar recommendation with the police command. Is this recommendation specifically targeting rate-limit command? And should we follow Cisco’s recommendation in the CCIE lab? Thank you all.
