Hamid, Thanks. I was referring to a situation where every IP that met the criteria of the ACL was allowed (up to the limit of the interface of course) the bandwidth specified in the rate-limit statement. I thought that was pretty odd (and very likely was the result of a misconfiguration somewhere or a misplaced ACL or ACL argument). Unfortunately, it's been many months ago and it wasn't my project so I don't have much in the way of particulars. I took advantage of your post to ask what the "normal" behavior should be since I never got around to resolving it in the lab for myself. Thanks for your reply.
