In some cases, due to the way the switch stores logical port bandwidth, the NMS may
have to round down non-integer maximum logical port bandwidth values to the
nearest Kbps value.

Note – For most applications, rounding down non-integer maximum logical port
bandwidth does not cause any problems. However, if you need to run 100% line rate
traffic through a policed PVC where you have rounded values, policing may cause
minor cell loss.
