        There are two ways you can do this:

        1) Set the CSU/DSU's to a specific speed, and let that perform
your rate limiting.

        2) Use the 12.0 rate-limit command to do your traffic shaping.

        You can provide yourself with various bit buckets to dump
the traffic into, and do things like rate-limit icmp echo-reply
(prevent smurf stuff, etc).

        You can also permit tcp/udp, and prioritize it over icmp with
the rate-limit commands on the interface, and you can do this in both
the inbound and outbound direction, as opposed to the old way of using
the traffic-shape command, which only did one direction.

        You can also make a rate-limit command that will not drop any
packets, and use that to determine how much traffic of a specific type
goes across that link.

Extended IP access list 195
    permit icmp any any echo-reply (253729 matches)
  Input
    matches: access-group 195
      params: 256000 bps, 8000 limit, 8000 extended limit
      conformed 131137 packets, 20765856 bytes; action: transmit
      exceeded 0 packets, 0 bytes; action: drop
      last packet: 55524452ms ago, current burst: 0 bytes
      last cleared 1w3d ago, conformed 0 bps, exceeded 0 bps
  Output
    matches: access-group 195
      params: 256000 bps, 8000 limit, 8000 extended limit
      conformed 122588 packets, 20621245 bytes; action: transmit
      exceeded 0 packets, 0 bytes; action: drop
      last packet: 664ms ago, current burst: 0 bytes
      last cleared 1w3d ago, conformed 0 bps, exceeded 0 bps
