How Shared Shaping Works

You can configure the shared-shaping rate on either the best-effort scheduler node
or the best-effort queue for the logical interface. The router also locates the queues
in named traffic-class groups that are associated with the logical interface and shapes

Description
Scheduler node or queue associated with a logical interface.
A shared shaper is configured for a logical interface; all queues
and scheduler nodes associated with that logical interface are
constituents of the shared shaper.
Constituent that is monitored or controlled by the shared
shaper mechanism.
Constituent that is ignored by the shared shaper mechanism.
Inactive constituents can be indirectly controlled; for example,
queues stacked above a node that is an active constituent.
Mechanism for shaping a logical interface's aggregate traffic
to a rate when the traffic for that logical interface is queued
through more than one scheduler hierarchy.
Shared shaper where the system automatically selects the
active constituents. The system selects scheduler nodes as
active; queues above nodes remain inactive.
Shared shaper where you select the active constituents by
issuing the shared-shaping-constituent command in a
scheduler profile.
Hardware-assisted mechanism that controls bandwidth for all
active constituents.
Software-assisted mechanism that measures the rate of active
constituents, and shapes the rate of the best-effort node or
queue to the residual shared-shaping rate.
