Vishal, thanks for your answer.
   
  But my real question was:
   
  "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 ?"

  Thank you.

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.
