Wes, The earlier policy doesn't use bandwidth commands, hence, it doesn't *subscribe* anything. The only thing it does is ensures that individual sites do not exceed their shaped rate. You could add bandwidth statements if you wanted to ensure a certain site always is guaranteed a certain amount of bandwidth from the parent shaper. You can't oversubscribe with the bandwidth command.
policy-map parent_shaper class class-default shape average 100000000 service-policy site_shaper policy-map site_shaper class t1_site shape average 1536000 bandwidth percent 1 service-policy qos_global class multilink_site shape average 3072000 bandwidth percent 2 service-policy qos_global class class-default bandwidth percent 97 service-policy qos_global policy-map qos_global ! ... whatever you want here. This would make sure that large sites don't stare out small spoke sites for bandwidth.
