BTW,
OSM on 76xx supports inbound traffic shaping.

Hi there,

There is a nice document by Cisco concerning your question:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/policevsshape.html

Basically _policing_ cuts off and drops packets that exceed the configured bandwidth while _shaping_ tries to queue exceeding packets.

Note: policing works for inbound and outbound traffic while shaping only works for outbound traffic (there is no queue for incoming traffic that's suitable for shaping!).

Cheers,
Stefan
