Everything drops packets if you fill the buffers...

Rate limiting vs Traffic Shaping is about intent and QoS in my experience.

YMMV

Subject: Traffic Shape or Rate Limit



Hello,

I'm wondering what the list's opinions are on Traffic-Shaping vs. Rate-Limit
for DIA customers (Frac DS3, for example).  From what I've read, Traffic
Shaping is a better option since it doesn't drop packets.  Just curious as
to what the opinions are.
