shape
peak rate = CIR(1 + Be / Bc)
where:
• Be is the Excess Burst size.
• Bc is the Committed Burst size.
Peak rate shaping allows the router to burst higher than average rate shaping. However, using peak rate
shaping, the traffic sent above the CIR (the delta) could be dropped if the network becomes congested.
If your network has additional bandwidth available (over the provisioned CIR) and the application or
class can tolerate occasional packet loss, that extra bandwidth can be exploited through the use of peak
rate shaping. However, there may be occasional packet drops when network congestion occurs. If the
traffic being sent to the network must strictly conform to the configured network provisioned CIR, then
you should use average traffic shaping.
Examples The following example sets the uses average rate shaping to ensure a bandwidth of 256 kbps:
shape average 256000
The following example uses peak rate shaping to ensure a bandwidth of 300 kbps but allow throughput
up to 512 kbps if enough bandwidth is available on the interface:
bandwidth 300
shape peak 512000
Related Commands Command Description
bandwidth Specifies or modifies the bandwidth allocated for a class belonging to a
policy map.
class (policy-map) Specifies the name of the class whose policy you want to create or change,
and the default class (commonly known as the class-default class) before
you configure its policy.
policy-map Creates or modifies a policy map that can be attached to one or more
interfaces to specify a service policy.
service-policy Attaches a policy map to an input interface or VC, or an output interface or
VC, to be used as the service policy for that interface or VC.
shape max-buffers Specifies the maximum number of buffers allowed on shaping queues.
