Traffic Shaping

[penrose]

I want to limit the amount of traffic that can leave in ainterface. in this case the serial port. I have heard traffic shaping with access lists is a way to do it. How would I go about it?

To configure generic traffic shaping use the following command in interface or sub-interface configuration mode...

traffic-shape rate bit-rate [burst-size [excess-burst-size]]

You can also apply rate limits to selective traffic by using access lists.
there is a good doc on the cisco website...

good luck,

I have done this. On am point to point back to back link will this limit the bandwidth to 256k? Surely not . Would I be better off to out the traffic shape on each end because it only effects outbound?
