Rate limit is policing..

It will drop the packets after the rate limit is reached.

Traffic shaping is delaying...the packets will be delayed after a
particular limit is reached.

Folks, as I understand both do the same thing, just that there are 2
different ways.
   
  Does it matter which one I choose for a particular implementation ? Does
Cisco prefer one over the other for different situations ?
   
  Any comments will be much appreciated.
   
  Thank you.
