Hi,

The Tspec object is used to indicate the requirements of a flow to the
Intserv layer which does the actual reservation in IntServ.

This consists of :
Token Bucket Rate [r]
Token Bucket Size [b]    
Peak Data Rate    [p] 
Minimum Policed Unit [m] 
Maximum Packet Size [M]
The first three parameters should be mapped to the following parameters in
the mplsTunnelResourceTable:
mplsTunnelResourceMeanRate :        Token Bucket Rate [r]
mplsTunnelResourceMeanBurstSize:  Token Bucket Size [b]    
mplsTunnelResourceMaxRate:           Peak Data Rate    [p] 
Is this assumption correct ?

And how are the values of m and M deduced at the ingress? ( There does not
seem to be any corresponding values in the Resource table and these
parameters might be important to police individual flows )

Thanks in advance,
Apratim
