History
Usage If you specify the pps keyword after the rate-shape command, the peak rate, peak
Information burst, committed rate and committed burst are all considered to be values as a
measure of packets. If you do not specify the pps or kbps keyword, the peak and
committed rate settings are considered to be values in Mbps. Similarly, if you enter
the kbps keyword, the peak and committed rate settings are treated as values in
Kbps.
You cannot configure the committed rate settings to use a different metric or unit
from the metric that is set for peak rate attributes because when you use the
rate-shape kbps command, it denotes the metric for peak and committed rate
attributes). Similarly, if you use the rate-shape pps option , it denotes the metric
for peak rate and committed rate attributes.
If you attempt to define the committed rate to be less than the peak rate, an error
message is displayed stating that the peak rate cannot be lower than the
committed rate. You can configure all the rate shaping parameters to be either in
bytes or packets measure for each queue. The rate and burst parameters for both
minimum and maximum settings for a queue can be either in packets or bytes. You
cannot configure some of rate shaping attributes to be in bytes measure and the
remaining rate shaping attributes to be in packets measure; all the rate shaping
attributes must contain the same metric or unit of measure.

Enter the keyword kbps to specify the peak rate limit in
Kilobits per second (Kbps). Specify this value as a multiple of
64. The range is from 0 to 40000000. The default granularity
is Megabits per second (Mbps).
Enter the keyword pps to specify the peak rate limit in
packets per second (pps). The range is from 1 to 268000000.
The default granularity is Megabits per second (Mbps).
Define the peak rate, which is the guaranteed or minimum
confirmed rate for the packets. Specify this value as a
multiple of 64 if you specify the peak rate in Kbps. The range
is from 0 to 40000000 for Kbps. The range is from 1 to
268000000 for pps. The range is from 0 to 40000 for Mbps
(which is the default measure for rate limits if you do not
explicitly configure Kbps or pps)
(OPTIONAL) Enter the peak burst size in KB. The range is
from 0 to 10000. The default is 50 KB.
(OPTIONAL) Enter the peak burst size as a count of packets.
The range is from 1 to 1073000. The default is 50 packets.
The default peak rate is regarded as the same value as the
configured peak rate.
Added support for committed rate and committed burst size,
and for configuration of rate limits on the S6000 platform.
