Re: minCIR linked with Adaptive shaping ? Y/N

MinCIR is utilized by QoS for available bandwidth, but if adaptive
shaping is not turned on, you never need to worry about being limited to
that bandwidth. Adaptive shaping is the mechanism that causes you to
react and slow down in your shaping (as opposed to CIR which is your
target rate anyway).

So you can put it in all the time if you want, but I wouldn't worry.
Even if you leave it out completely and turn on adaptive shaping, that's
fine too (or MAY be fine) because the default mincir is 1/2 of your CIR
value. But again, this isn't used/considered until adaptive shaping is
indeed turned on.
