Subject: ifSpeed yet again!

Hi all,

Sorry for yet another question on ifSpeed:

"For a sub-layer which has no concept of bandwidth, this object should be
zero." [RFC 2233] and [draft-ietf-ifmib-ifmib2-01.txt]

Where's the sense in that?
Are there sub-layers with no actual limit on the maximum available
bandwidth?
As soon as there is a maximum amount of data that can be transferred in
a certain time period, there's a nominal bandwidth, right?

By the way, I already searched the archive mail archive for answers to these
questions, but failed, so please don't get mad at me for asking things that
might already have been discussed several years ago. This group's mail
archive
sure is one huge file!

Regards,
Michael Welzl
