Hi John,

Shaping and policing are not the same beast. In addition there are a
number of policing methods to choose from, and they also operate
differently from each other.

Your question does not include any information which suggests the use of
one over the other. Based on that you could use either, but the
question would normally indicate to you which to use.

The doc cd has some good information explaining the differences in the
various commands.

Paul.
