That's not true. The DE bit gets set when the bandwidth exceeds the CIR. I.E
you can buy a 128K CIR with a burst to 1544K, the DE gets set when the
bandwidth exceeds 128K. My concern came in when I saw the BW=0. Now when I
do a debug lmi it show BW=1000. Anyone know the significance of the 1000?
What does it stand for? 1000 whats?
