In terms of traffic shaping used by frame-relay, there are four methods as I
know,

1)generic traffic shaping used by FRAME-RELAY interface or subinterface

Generally speaking, you follow the traffic to configure it. If the traffic is
going to use the interface, then configure it at interface level; if the
traffic is going to use the subinterface, then configure it at subinterface
level. And it works based on ACL instead of PVC.

2)legacy frame-relay traffic shaping

IT works on PVC level. And "frame-relay traffic-shaping" command must be
enabled under interface. When it is used, by default, all PVCs are shaped at
64k. After you use map-class frame-relay to define the class, then You use
"class" command under specific pvc to modify shaping rate.

3)MQC-based frame-relay traffic shaping

It works on PVC level. It doesn't need "frame-relay traffic-shaping" command
under interface. It needs hirarchical MQC policy-map, in which the parent
level uses class-default to define shaping rate. After you use map-class
frame-relay to define the class, then you use "class" command to put it under
specific pvc.

4)MQC-based frame-relay voice adaptive traffic shaping
The basic mechanism is there are 2 queues, one is priority queue, and the
second is the regular queue. When the interface detects there are packets in
priority queue, the adaptive shaping take effects. Suggest you to read DOCCD
WAN configuration guide.
