Thanks. I not very familiar with the integrated DSU T3/E3 command set - still used to
the good ol HSSI ports. I'll agree, this sounds like a better solution if you are
using one of the integrated cards.
Yes - you are correct, in my solution both sides should always use a traffic-shape or
other shaping QoS command. The rate limit is a final "police" in case the customer
does try to send more than you would like them to. Again, agreed, obviously if you
can control the port speed (above - DSU bandwidth), that's a better solution.

That's what I do, works fine.

Not only that, but the rate-limiting on the input interface will likely force the
customer to do some QOS at their end too; the discrepancy between what the customer's
router thinks the bandwidth is and what it really is will cause packet loss. I like
the solution of the sending interface to queue the egress traffic at whatever speed is
available better.
