Hi all, My understanding of the shape command is as follows:
1. The leagcy FRTS did not have concept of peak rate but did allow to use be value for the first Tc interval. 2.With shape average you can specify bc and be and same with peak. however the difference is that in shape average command be+bc is only sent in first Tc whereas with shape peak command, be+bc is sent in every Tc. Can someone please shed some light on the question I have? 1. If we have an access rate of 30Mbps and my CIR is 20Mbps and I am allowed to send up to AR. Should I be using shape peak or shape average? If I use shape peak then does that mean in legacy FRTS you could never send traffic upto AR as the excess be was sent only in first TC? 2. The show policy-map output shows the correct Target rate upto 13Mbps CIR, i.e it shows Target as 26Mbps and 13 as CIR.however as soon as you state CIR more than 13Mbps then show policy-map output does not show the correct Target rate. 3. How do you avoid BGP from shaping and dropping with MQC based FRTS?
