Rate limiting is Policing, there are 2 common ways

1) legacy interface level policing also called CAR (committed access rate)
2) Police under the MQC "the new way".

Well they both do the same accept that on the CAR you have only 2 buckets
confirm and exceed
and on the MQC level you have 3 buckets confirm exceed and violate.

and that is basically how you differentiate between them, if you are ask
only to confirm transmit exceed drop then it is simple to use CAR under the
interface, if you have more complex scenario where you need to also use the
violate bucket then the MQC is the way to go.
