As can be seen, QoS Class 0 is guaranteed a bandwidth of 500,000bps. It may be
allocated up to 900,000bps, depending on what is allocated to other QoS classes. If no
other data is being received then Class 0 will be allocated up to 900,000bps, if needed.
Assume at this point (when Class 0 ideally wants 900,000bps) that the Class 1 data stream
is flowing at 350,000bps. Since 350,000bps is less than the CIR of Class 1 then it will get
all the bandwidth it needs. Class 0 will get its guaranteed 500,000 bps, but will be allocated
only an additional 150,000bps (bringing its total to 650,000bps) because this is all of the
spare bandwidth, and is less than the Class 0 BIR value.
In another example, assume Class 2 is being received at 400,000bps and Class 1 at
950,000bps. In this situation the Class 1 data stream will be allocated 800,000bps, its
maximum, while Class 2 will be allocated only 200,000bps. The spare bandwidth is
allocated to Class 1 first because it has a higher priority. When the BIR of Class 1 is
reached, the remaining spare bandwidth will be allocated to Class 2.
