(again I'm no QoS expert (yet), but from what I believe to be true:)

Yes, rate-limit is policing. It's the legacy way of doing it and It does
NOT queue / buffer...just limit the traffic rate. Unlike queuing, you can
do it inbound or outbound. Traffic Shaping, however, does queuing aka only
inbound.
