So am I right in thinking that there is a problem here ? And that it is a
pain that the 3550 is not able to shape ?
Luckily there is a Netscreen in between and if I remember well it is able to
shape,
Thank you for your reply,
--Richard

Asunto: Re: Traffic shaping on Cat3550
We had a very similar situation last year.
You're correct... 3550 only polices. But at least it polices output,
which a Cat6K Sup1/Sup2 can't do.
At that time ... you were limited to (with cisco gear) the following
devices that could shape.
- An IOS Router
- Cat4K with Sup IV
- Cat6K with Sup720 (with the new line cards)
- Cat6K/7600with OSM line card (Big $$$$$)
- You can now look at the new 3750 Metro switch.. It's probably their
most affordable high speed shaper
For 4 Mbs you could use a regular router. A 2621XM might be big
enough ..
2951/2691/3700 would be better. We tested 7301s shaping up to 150Mbs
with out problems.
