Hi Carlos,

I believe you're not reading/interpreting the task correctly.

The requirement is to have ALL traffic shaped to the specified parameters.
Since ALL traffic is to be shaped that clearly includes the peer to peer
traffic.

Then in task 8.4, you need to police the p2p traffic portion of the traffic
being shaped.

policy-map SHAPE
   class class-default
     shape average 5000000 160000 80000
     service-policy QOS_POLICY

In the above snippet, since "service-policy QOS_POLICY" is within policy-map
SHAPE, what will happen is this:

The p2p traffic will be policed to 8000 bps and all other traffic will be
shaped as specified above.

There are a number of show commands you can use to verify this including
show traffic shape [options], show queue [options].

I suggest you play around with these show commands and make sure you
understand how to interpret the output. Besides the command reference, I
also recommend the Wendall Odom book, Cisco DQOS. ISBN 1-58720-058-9.

He has a bunch of examples of this type along with output from various show
commands which should make this more clear.

HTH, Tim
