Committed Burst — Displays the Committed Burst size, which is the maximum amount of data
a user may offer to the network during a calculated time interval. It is guaranteed that this data will
not be discarded by the network.
Excess Burst — Displays the Excess Burst size, which is the maximum amount of data by
which a user can exceed the committed Burst size. There is no guarantee that this data will be
passed by the network.

being passed onto the WAN link, after compression.
