Field Description
Enable Shaping
Select to enable shaping actions in the policy.
This check box will automatically be selected after you define 
settings in this page.
Shaping type
Choose the type of shaping action:
Peak—The interface sends the committed burst (Bc) plus the 
excess burst (Be) in each interval.
Average—The interface sends no more than the committed 
burst (Bc) for each interval.
Rate
The target average rate for the traffic that the policy covers, in 
kilobits per second.
Burst  Size  (optional)
The sustained number of kilobits that can be transmitted per interval 
over the interface.
The interval is determined by dividing the burst size by the rate.
Excess Burst  (optional)
The maximum number of kilobits in excess of the burst size that can 
be transmitted during the first interval when congestion occurs.
Adaptive Shaping
(Frame relay interfaces only) 
Enable—Select this check box to have the interface reduce the 
traffic rate when it is notified that congestion is occurring at 
other interfaces along the path.
Rate—Specify the traffic rate to be used when the interface is 
notified about congestion.
Mark traffic with FECN—Select this check box to use the 
forward explicit congestion notification (FECN) to adjust the 
traffic descriptors, to approximate the rate to the available 
bandwidth along the path. 
Back button
