Brian,
Thanks for your reply. I now have more doubts to clear. Even if the
algorithm borrows more credit for bigger packets, the traffic shaping still
need to adhere to the algorithm by pausing the amount of bytes allowed in
one Tc ( be=0). In a situation where router has a bigger AR the packet has
to be delayed until the next Tc is available which could fragment the
packet. is it correct ?
What I am trying to say is that the packet will not flow continuously out of
the interface if size of the packet is larger than Bc.
I appreciate you comments.
Thanks
Emil

Emil,
The shaping algorithm borrows credit from the next interval.
