Problem with Commited Access rate limit
Hi there,

I am using Cisco As5300 with 120 ports MICA modem and 4 E1 interfaces.
as we are using it for an ISP, to avoid improper uploads generated from dialup users due to worms like blaster and welchia we have tried to stop this upload with CAR command though the command seems to be working but when we check an infected user its upload goes beyond 70 kbps which shouldnt happen if there is proper CAR command implementation.
I am pasting the CAR configuation in our AS5300.


interface Group-Async1
ip unnumbered FastEthernet0
ip access-group 100 in
ip access-group 100 out
no ip directed-broadcast
rate-limit input 8000 8000 9000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
rate-limit output 32000 8000 9000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
encapsulation ppp
ip tcp header-compression passive
async mode interactive
peer default ip address pool setup_pool
no fair-queue
ppp authentication pap
ppp multilink
group-range 1 120

according to this CAR configuration the upload shouldnt go higher then 9kbps but infact it goes more than 70kbps as you can see below its more then 9kbps

So i would like to know where i am making the mistake and why the CAR is not functioning as we want it to function.

would appreciate your help

Best regards
