But CAR is a effective soluition against DoS or DDoS Attack so
security
related, I guess.

Is this context, true, it is security related.

        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 [1]

Thanks for your answer.

related, I guess.

But when I see this document, the meaning is not same as you said.
please confirm about this again.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/car_rate_limit_icmp.html

access&#8722;list 106 permit tcp any any syn !&#8722;&#8722;&#8722; We
are only interested in syn packets interface <interface> <interface #>
rate&#8722;limit input access&#8722;group 106 64000 8000 8000
conform&#8722;action transmit exceed&#8722;action drop

Note: We will rate limit to 64000 bps for all TCP Syn packets.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It say, 64000 instead of 64000+8000, right?
and then what is the meaning of the burst-normal-size?


Thanks in advance.

IMO, it's not a security-related question, but ...

Maximum allowable output would be 9000000 + 225000; average rate plus
extended burst rate.  The packet would be transmitted, unless its
compounded debt is greater than the extended burst rate.  Keep in mind
though, once bursts exceed the bucket size, some packets are randomly
dropped according to the weighted red algorithm, with the drop rate
increasing as the burst rate increases.

Hello, all.

I have one question about CAR(Committed Access Rate).
When I set like this,

rate-limit output 9000000 112000 225000 conform-action transmit exceed-
action drop

1. Whats is the allowed total output?
(1) 9000000
(2) 9000000 + 112000
(3) 9000000 + 112000 + 225000

2. if the bps of the output is 9000000 + 200000, the packet is transmit
or drop?



Thanks in advance.
