Could you elaborate a little bit. I was under the impression that shape and police functionality was very similar except that you queue via the shape and you drop via the police. Now if you were to configure an action to shape without the peak there is not burst beyond the cir but there will be queuing just the same. If i do not configure the shape peak will it not take the cir as the peak value by default. I could be wrong, what do you think Scott?
