[nsp] Traffic shaping with QoS on Cisco 3550

[Olav Langeland]

We have bought some of these nice beasts, but I some trouble
understanding parts of traffic shaping with QoS. We plan to use them
with co-lo servers where one customer is one VLAN, a customer have a /30
net, typically shaped at 2Mbit, the VLAN have an IP which is the default
GW for customer network. 
I have been reading up on "Understanding QoS Policing and Marking on the
Catalyst 3550" (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/153.html), and got
the part about ingress traffic and policing down traffic. But I have
trouble grasping how to configure egress traffic (switchport -> server),
this is limited to Policer Markdown and Match DSCP which isnt described
properly in the document. Looking for examples of traffic shaping with
egress traffic..
