Paul,

It was purposly ambigious. I'm going through qos and some things are not
quite clear. I understand there are various forms of rate-limiting one
rate, two rate, two paint, treee paint etc. I'm also trying to pick up
clues as to what a task is asking me ie "shape the average rate", "limit
protocol to to xKbs", which are easy clues. I'm reading the config guide
and various RFC's now, but that doesn't mean I won't get confused sometimes.
