I think traffic shaping is very importent. I agree to the point that the new traffic shaping approches tends to shape on near the edges, but that would not prevent applying such approches in the core especially if its an interprise net. The shapping implemintation preferred to be implemented in switch because the hardware is simply fast and efficient. Jeremy, Would you please specify what kind of Cisco platform that you are using?
