Leigh,
Unless you want to drop excess traffic you should shape. If
this is your own outbound link and the other side is policing inbound it
is more appropriate to shape, as this will reduce the need for end hosts
to retransmit. Furthermore you can simplify your configuration by using
the default class in the policy-map:
policy-map SHAPE
class class-default
shape average 5000000
