That's a good point, however, if you setup traffic shaping with 0 as the min
rate and any speed as your max rate (make it 128 or 258 or 1.544 if you
want), when there IS congestion in the cloud, this would at least allow the
router to scale back the output so that there may not have to be as many
Layer 3 retransmits (and more congestion)......
Either way.......... 0 CIR is scary =)
