Jimmy Ray Purser: Networking geek to geek: Network Management Sucks!!!
Network Management...I could almost end this blog with just that statement alone.

Dennis Hartmann on Cisco Unified Communications: Class-based Shaping
Traffic shaping is a technology that has traditionally been used in Frame-Relay and ATM WAN technologies. Many frame and ATM networks have a hub and spoke architecture where all WAN traffic must traverse the headquarters site. Since the headquarters site is aggregating WAN services, the headquarters normally has much higher interface speeds than the branch routers. The headquarters router will attempt to send traffic to the branch location at much higher speeds than the branch routers local loop connection will allow if traffic shaping is not implemented. Traffic shaping will allow the WAN administrator to limit the throughput from the headquarters to the speed of the branch location.
