BC
Committed Burst. BC is a QoS policing parameter that specifies in bits (or bytes)
per burst how much traffic can be sent within a given unit of time to not create
scheduling concerns.
BE
Excess Burst. BC is a QoS policing parameter that specifies how large traffic
bursts can be before all traffic exceeds the rate limit. Traffic that falls between
the normal burst size and the excess burst size exceeds the rate limit with a
probability that increases as the burst size increases.
BOOTP

address of its Ethernet interfaces to affect network booting.
