Re: Shape Peak, why did they come up with that?

on this one i always look to the blog post by Petr Lapukhov on the 2
commands:

http://blog.ine.com/2008/08/26/understanding-the-shape-peak-command/

"Like i mentioned in the post, there is no real different in the maximum
sending rate achieve with either of the commands. The only real benefit of
shape peak command is to allow you better see you CIR/PIR value relation
and effectively visualize traffic contract in the show commands output."
