P. S. BS is needed because dealing with policing (not shaping), the router has no buffer where to put a packet in for awaiting. It is also not able to drop a part of a packet -- either transmit or drop a whole one. Well, imagine a situation when you need to transmit just one packet per hour, but a really huge one. It is when burst size comes into play.
