Does anyone happen to know of a nice article explaining the difference between
"shape average" and "police"? I'd like to clear this up, and my searches keep
turning up configuration steps, which are far easier than understanding the
nuances of the two.
As I understand things, shaping allows some ebb and flow from the average rate
you give it, queueing packets if possible, whereas policing is a hard drop at
the prescribed limit.
With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and with
science.
