Thanks. I found a doc that is talking about this very thing. I'm including
the link.
Traffic Shaping and Rate of Transfer
Traffic shaping limits the rate of transmission of data. You can limit the
data transfer to one of the following:
A specific configured rate *****
A derived rate based on the level of congestion

Subject: RE: traffic control without congestion
Mike,
I had a recent conversation with my Cisco SE regarding this, and if you
use a policy to apply shaping to a class of traffic, then it operates
even when the link isn't experiencing congestion at the (sub)interface
level. The way he stated it was that whenever you apply shaping via a
policy (not GTS on the entire interface), it "creates" congestion (or
the appearance of congestion) and that the shaping kicks in whenever the
specified traffic exceeds the bandwidth specified in the shaping
command.
HTH,
Mike W.

It only seems logical that the only option for controlling traffic on a
non-congested link would be Policing.
Correct?
Thanks
