Just a note of caution here. The shaper can only utilize the Be tokens if
credit has been built up, meaning that the shaper has been transmitting at
below CIR for a period of time. Be does not allow you to constantly transmit
at a rate above CIR, it is only available if traffic has dropped below CIR.
Over time, you should still acerage out at CIR.
