How to do traffic shaping on T1 link (not frame-relay)

[mpuras]

Is it possible to do traffic shaping on T1 links to throttle back incoming and outgoing traffic? Any sample configs or links that explain how this is down would be great. TIA

To be more specific, I want to be able to throttle web traffic to 5k for example and other applications such as mail. I also want to use layer 3 protocols as a priority factor.

Not a problem. Use CBWFQ. However, you're limited to 8kbps as the smallest amount of bandwidth you can work with.

You'll want something like

class-map match-all web-traffic

match access-group name cbwfq/web-traffic

policy-map output-traffic

class web-traffic

police 8000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

Check out these this URL for info on the feature, and the 2nd url for some info on shaping as one option you can use vs policing to limit the traffic.

You can also use rate-limiting or CAR. Lookup "CAR configuration examples" on CCO.
