OK, thanks Scott.

The Solie section on RSVP is also very confusing. Cisco just keeps piling on these complex dynamic protocols to learn.

There aren't too many documents that really give you everything that you
need to know... So poke through the QoS configuration guides and
traffic-management configuration guides on CCO for little assistance here
and there.

As for the direction, let me ask you this. Can you interact with, shape
(and therefore buffer) traffic on its way in to you? Policing is really the
only option here. If the limits you set are overrun, then discard is the
only option that you have. (no room to queue inbound)

PS. Octuple? That'd be pretty busy! :)

I tried to make sense of Solie's Vol. 2 section on Differentiated Services
and QoS.

Can one of you octuple-certified CCIEs recommend a good article on traffic
management strategies, or even a book, something that describes good design
and planning?

The books I've read and the Cisco doc CD are very granular, but I need to
see a bigger picture.

Also, is it true you do traffic shaping for outgoing traffic and policing
for incoming traffic?
