Everything drops packets if you fill the buffers...

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

YMMV

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.
