VC backpressure affects only VC nodes that are in the default traffic-class group. As
a consequence, VC nodes that are in named traffic-class groups within the scheduler
hierarchy are not affected by VC backpressure.

VP Shaping
VP shaping can be performed either in the SAR or by using the QoS shaping
application using QoS profiles. Configuring VP shaping in the SAR enables traffic to
be sent out of the port at a rate that closely matches strict ATM contract rates. SAR
VP shaping is configured for the physical port using the atm vp-tunnel command.

The proper integration of the two schedulers is an important element of the router's
ATM QoS support. Three QoS port modes control integration of the two schedulers:
