I'm a bit late here, but as I understand the dialogue you're actually asking: Will configuring shaping add more buffer memory than what is available to the interface with standard FIFO queueing? And the answer seems to be: No, configuring shaping doesn't add more buffer memory. (It might take processing cycles to handle this shaping and thus actually make things worse.) -- Peter _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
