If I am not mistaken :). "shape" only can be used for out, not in.

Brian, quick question: can "police"/MQC do 100% of what "rate-limit"
does?

thanks

Yes.

Must use policy-maps.

> SHAPE , reserves bandwidth for class and buffers excess, uses MQC

Shaping does not reserve traffic, it simply smoothes it out to the
specified
rate.

> PRIORITY, Gives priority access to the hardware buffer for a certain

Excess is only dropped if there is congestion. Otherwise excess is just
not
guaranteed low latency.

MQC.

Yes.
