If the amount of traffic on a switch's network interface is more than the maximum
bandwidth allowed on the interface, it leads to congestion. Port shaping and queue
shaping can be used to manage the excess traffic and avoid congestion. Port shaping
defines the maximum bandwidth allocated to a port, while queue shaping defines a limit
on excess-bandwidth usage per queue.

Queue Shaping on page 3392
Port shaping enables you to shape the aggregate traffic through a port or channel to a
rate that is less than the line or port rate.
Queue shaping throttles the rate at which queues transmit packets. For example, using
queue shaping, you can rate-limit a strict-priority queue so that the strict-priority queue
does not lock out (or starve) low-priority queues. Similarly, for any queue, you can
configure queue shaping.
