Is there a reason to consider X Mbps policing differnet of having a
X Mbps link midway between source and destination?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I did some testing to compare various TCP stack behaviors in the midst of traffic policing.
It is common practice for a network provider to police traffic to a subscriber level agreement (SLA).
In the iperf testing I conducted, the following set-up was used:
Client -> Delay (50ms RTT) -> Cisco (with 10M Policing) -> Server
The delay was induced using hardware base commercial gear.
50 msec RTT and bottleneck bandwidth = 10 Mbps, so BDP was 62,000 bytes.
Ran Linux, Windows XP, and Windows 7 clients at 32k, 64k, 128k window (knowing that policing would
kick in at 64K)
Throughput for Window (Mbps)
Platform 32K 64K 128K
--------------------------------------------
Linux 4.9 7.5 3.8
XP 5.8 6.6 5.2
Win7 5.3 3.4 0.44

The folks in tcpm might be better able to help? but I'll point-out one nit - "Linux" is not that much more specific than saying "Unix" - it would be goodness to get into the habit of including the kernel version. And ID the server since it takes two to TCP...
happy benchmarking,
