wouldn't you want zero queue buffers for true rate limiting? Buffers infer traffic shaping.

I wouldn't say most, but many do. Normally switches don't have the proper buffer depth for that kind of thing at scale, unless using those super high throughput, very large buffer data center oriented ASIC designs.

        What is wrong with a simple queue?

        we do it with ciena/cyan equipment as well.  Your going to be
        looking at more of a MEF type of switch that can handle this

        I'm using Ciena 3930s as CPE for our customers with 10G ports
        and, for those that have subrate services, using them for
        shaping/policing.
        It's a switch targetted at carrier ethernet demarc so it has
        many useful QoS and OAM options.

        Should this be done at the switch? I have a feeling that a
        simple queue probably won't work...
