The difference between CAR and traffic shaping is that CAR is a policing scheme. CAR sets maximum limits on traffic but does not shape traffic to a specified rate. CAR typically drops traffic that exceeds the rate; in contrast, traffic shaping delays traffic in a buffer to delay packets to shape the flow of traffic.

interface Hssi0/0/0

description 45Mbps Link with CAR

ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.252

rate-limit input access-group 1 25000000 30000 30000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

rate-limit output access-group 1 25000000 30000 30000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

!

Access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
