cfgmaker just looks at the bandwidth statement.  With a bandwidth of
40704, the correct value for maxbytes is 5088.

However, if your actual speed is less than the bandwidth statement, and
you can't change the bandwidth statement because of some routing hack
you are doing, then you have to either manually modify your maxbytes
statement, or write a template that will determine the proper value for
you.

If you have just a couple of atm interfaces, I'd probably write a
template that picked out those particular interfaces and hard coded the
values.

If you have a large number of traffic shaped connections, then I would
probably create a database in mysql to track those things, then write a
template that looks up the appropriate CIR and PIR from the database and
sets maxbytes and absmax accordingly.

I suppose you could look into the CISCO-QOS-mumble-MIB and find some
stats that would give you PIR and CIR, and you could write a template
that polled those using snmp.
