Jonathan,
without traffic-shapping in the interface, the router will send as much
as it can as soon as it has it, up to AR (access rate, default T1).

Once you set traffic-shapping, a two stage queueing starts. The first
(in the order of data flow) is a per PVC shapping queue that defaults to
56k rate, and the second is a FIFO "merging queue".
If you only have one PVC, then you'd better tune the first stage queue.

First stage can be converted into a full blown CBWFQ + FRTS queue.
(Actually one per PVC)

Second stage can be converted into dual FIFOs by adding "frame ragment"
to any PVC queue, in which case all priority queues traffic goes to one
of the (parallel) second stage queues (priority) and the rest of the
traffic goes to the other.
