I don't know that many switches that support egress 
policing, but the ME3600X/3800X does (although it's not 
currently enabled in the software).

Egress shaping is available, however, but shaping could be 
more expensive than policing especially for non-critical 
traffic.

That said, policing at the router is also a good idea, just 
that scaling this requires silicon and not software in the 
long run.

Cheers,

Mark.
