The example reserves 15 Mbps of unbudgeted bandwidth for traffic that is not defined in the bandwidth
filters (see section 20.6.1). The Administration and Sales USA bandwidth classes each have bigger
bandwidth budgets than the total of the budgets of their child-classes. The child-classes can borrow the extra
bandwidth as long as they have bandwidth borrowing enabled (see section 20.7).
