I have a strange problem with a service-policy in a 4503. I set up the policy to rate limit all traffic with DSCP AF21 to 8 Mbps. However when I apply the configuration instead of give me 8 Mbps it rates limit the matching traffic to 200kbps or something very low around this number. To get around 2 Mbps I needed to change the configuration of the policy to conform 60Mbps!

The policy match perfectly the traffic (other traffic not matching is not affected and I can see the matches in the policy). I guess I am missing something but I cannot find it. I am doing exactly what the documentation says (well I guess so). Any ideas?

Thanks!
