In this scenario of a larger bandwidth side trying to send into a smaller CIR
you would have DE bits inbound on the smaller side router. DE (discard
eligable) is any data sent over the line that is higher than the CIR because
it is "eligable for discard".
Let me guess...Worldcom told you that ;) On a side note. It's amazing how
many new terms the telco can introduse into the field when trying to think of
an RFO, haha
My 0.2 cents...
