Thank you guys for your prompt replies!!

couple of questions though.

Joseph: First thanks for the link, its very useful. I agree with you
that the bandwidth command should be used. I am however a little
confused as the article implies to set a parent policy map that shapes
the traffic. I do not know what I should shape the traffic to! I guess
i need to do a bit more research.

Peter: I understand what you mean about the output queues. I am a bit
concerned though as the question states that you have to guarantee
10Mbps traffic FROM these 2 routers. i.e. you cannot touch the other 2
routers. If I use CBWFQ I am guaranteeing 10Mbps TO those routers.

Thanks again guys for the help.

Usama.
